I was thinking along the lines of scrubbing with toothbrushes in the hot summer sun...

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

Agree with you on that Firelock. also make the parents of the 3 minor boys that vandalized the cars at the saginaw railway musuem this week pay for the needed repairs.

Nah, waterboarding's not appropriate in this case.  A good spanking should suffice.

Torture doesn't produce results, but those are the ideas I'm leaning most toward suggesting.

Remember back in the 90's there was that young American idiot who vandalized some cars in Singapore, got caught, and was punished by a flogging with a bamboo cane?

Certainly that kind of punishment wouldn't be condoned here, but sometimes I have to wonder if the Singapore approach has it's merits.

First, for the vandalism.

Second, for the white supremacist idiocy.  Although I'll grant those kids are probably too young to understand the full import of the white supremacist slogans and were probably just using them to be obnoxious.

Saginaw Railway Museum: Vandalized
Posted by caboose63 on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 9:57 PM

Here in Mid Michigan, the Saginaw Railway Musuem in Saginaw, Michigan, was vandalized by 4 young males. 2 boxcars and a C&O steel center cupola caboose had white supremacist messages sprayed on them. As a result of last night's vandalism, the museum will not be opening until May 19th. Hopefully the 18 year old male and his 3 minor male friends will have to pay for the damage they did.
