Two 14 year old boys steal plane and then crash

It all started here at the Big Bear Airport. A bit later, it ended in the
middle of the desert. Police say two 14-year-olds, stole the keys to one
boy's father's airplane and stole it from its hangar.

Given the storm at the time, the likelihood of clouds obscuring the
peaks, and a virtually moonless night, I'm amazed this flight ended so
well.

Well, the boys obviously have some piloting skills. Too bad they'll be
felons now...

Because the aircraft belongs to one of the boy's fathers, it's not
clear that they will be charged.

You can bet the insurance company will not pay off for 'Wrongful
conversion" and Dad will be left with a hefty bill to get his Mooney
back to flyable. I was looking at the fact they got it back on the
ground without major? damage or injury.

Ah... But in California if you as much as look at your kid wrong you go to
jail for abuse. I am afraid there is nothing he can do but give them a
time-out. ;-)

Well, I'd take him out to Dulzura and leave him there! That would be a
real wake up! Or, perhaps closer to you in De Luz....?
No matter, I'm still old school USMC and would beat his ass to a

I suspect that under that style of parenting, this 14 year old would not
have even attempted the theft.

Then perhaps you can understand my position? Why are the youth of today
so far out of touch with common decency in society and seem to have
lost any sembalance of moral compass?
Damnnnn...even my own son lost his way and I shake my head trying to
figure it out. Is it that society has allowed them to just drift along
without fear of retribution for their actions?
He is afraid to come to me and try his weak **** excuses because he
knows I don't buy into it or them. Breaks my heart on a daily
basis..... But then I have a daughter a year older who is solid gold
and also wonders why her brother is sour....?
I'd still beat his ass to a puffy state! Or, as they say in the middle
east, I'd "flog him".

Oh, don't get me wrong... I am not saying I disagree with your philosophy
in the least. However, I have seen the oddest behaviors from "do-gooders"
in this useless state.

For instance...

While in a blockbuster video, a kid (about age 5) was being a major pain
and the parent swatted the kid on the rear while in the store. Another
person came up and "detained" them until the police showed up. True story
which I personally observed.

Well, there ya go. The "do-gooder" is setting themselves up for a civil
suit for wrongful arrest. Had it been me, I'm afraid I'd have gone to
jail for assault and battery on the jerk for interferring with my
parenting skills. Yeh I know, that sounds like a godawful attitude and
a real butthead. But, my kids still say "Yes Sir" and "No Ma'm",and
hold doors open for people, and show respect for people. How they act
privately is open for speculation but I think I'd still bet on my kids
being respectful of others and their property.
Are people afraid to demand some societal respect and behaviour? Well
somebody better get their act together or we're all gonna go down in
flames.
I'm an active flight instructor and to no surprise, my students still
address me as "Sir" without any demands to do so. I'd like to delude
myself into thinking its out of respect? The majority of them are young
officers in the Navy or Marine Corps.

"This is my .45... This is your brain scattered across the videos... Any
questions?"

If you leave bruises, it could be viewed at abuse... Red marks left on the
butt don't count... Slapping the kid in the face is not really acceptable
though... Hell, what do you think that butts evolved for? Sitting? Nawh...
