Ex NFL player reaches out to kids who trashed his home, parents threaten to sue

http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/some-parents-of-the-kids-who-trashed-an-ex-nfl-players-house

Crazy story this. About 300 kids broke into this mans house while he was away, had a massive party, trashed the place, destroyed an urn containing the remains of his still-born grandson, and recorded themselves all over twitter doing it.

In response, the ex NFL player sets up a website showing the photos that these idiots shared with the world of them trashing his house, and attempted to reach out of them - even offering to host a picnic at the house for them and their families where they could put in a team effort to fix the mess they made (and out of 300 people at the party, only 1 showed up to help clean up).

Anyway. the apple didn't fall too far from the tree in this case. The biggest problem for the parents of these teenagers was not the behaviour of their progeny, nor embarassment at their own parenting skills being shown up, but that it might affect their little darlings college chances or put them forward in a less than positive light. It's gotten to the stage where the man who had his house broken into has recieved death threats and threats to sue him...

Crazy world we live in!

This is both humourous and upsetting.

That is absolutely heartbreaking. The urn getting smashed really hit me hard Just so sad. Something so special to them that they can never get back

Great comment at the end.

He didn't post the pictures all over the Internet. THEY DID. Quit teaching your kids how to blame everyone else for their own stupid behavior and show them what taking some damn responsibility for their actions means

yeah and helmets too, yet it still doesn stop 280lb 6'8 guys like jj watt hurting people, but hey keep spouting out how rugby is a mans game despite the fact its a less impactful sport because players have no protection so they dont throw their bodies on the line.


Ah ignorance is bliss for some people

The few bits of it I've seen could be summed up by having one set play after another which lasts a matter of seconds and requires no inititive,just the ability to block the player in front of you.
Oh and then lets have a break.

ignorance. Understanding a game helps. Never seen a guy front flip over a 6'1 guy to score in rugby.

What is this world coming too. But the real messed up thing is that people will agree with suing him!


In fact I am waiting on people to post in this thread with that mentality.

nothing to sue over, they published the pictures into the public domain themselves

That's deplorable! Hopefully this will have a Duncan Ferguson type ending.

The ex footballer Duncan Ferguson had his house broken into a few years back. The burglar spent 2 days in hospital after the encounter, tried to sue him and then was instead sent to prison for four years.

Why not just stick a guy inside a steel keg, fire a cannonball at it and call him a tough guy.

I bet your wife would rather have Roy Keane defending the home than some NFL blimp. Roy would bate the bollix outta any intruder, boy. Your NFL blimp would call the cops and hide under his shoulder pads, boy, haha!

Roy Keane....the football hardman who picks and chooses who he acts the hard man with?

Oh wait they were kids.. He'd 'bate the bollix outta them'.

Anyhoooo... Back to the actual topic kids...

What a messed up world. Doesn't surprise me in one way- so many people just don't want to take any responsibility for anything anymore.

Howard Juneau

Its parents blustering, nothing more. Their little prides & joy broke in, caused criminal damage & provided the pictorial evidence themselves!
The police are looking into it, you can be damn sure they aren't looking to prosecute the victim of this crime.
Hope they all get named & shamed & are made to publicly apologize & parents made contribute financially to the clean up

meoklmrk91

I hate parents like this, my little darling is innocent, they would never do anything like that, even when given definitive proof. Not only are the kids responsible for their actions the parents are too.

I am not a violent person, I hate it, I think it's disgusting, but if I found out that my kid had helped wreak this poor mans house I think I would have to be held back from giving them a fine few scelps. They would be made scrub that house from top to bottom, even if it took them a year, even if they were the only one there.

These parents disgust me, it wasn't this man who hurt your brazen brats college chances it was them and your ****tard parenting skills.

Typical American compo culture. You can sue anyone for anything over there.

That's because it's against the rules.

What were you saying about ignorance again?

tallus

It's surprising to me that parents with kids stupid enough to post about their collective crime with photographic evidence on twitter, think the same kids are clever enough to get into college.
Community service time cleaning up the mess they made and/or hefty fines on the parents.
I feel for the home owner, and at least he was constructive about resolving the issue.
Spoilt bastards should be made to pay one way or another.

Of course that would NEVER happen in Ireland.

I'm assuming the cops will be involved next? I mean there's photographic evidence that these kids were trespassing at least. Their generation is, by far, the stupidest.

Cops are already involved

Lol brilliant. Well since you aren't allowed to jump over tackles in rugby that might answer your question. It might help if you tried understanding the game.

My heart would really go out to the poor man - and he has my respect for trying to be constructive about how he responded to it. Little scrotes and their scrotebag parents could be taught a lot about the values of humility for basic respect from this man

Nah, he'd just let the police take care of it. It's the quiet ones you have to look out for - if it happened to Denis Irwin he'd feed them to pigs feet first. Allegedly.

No arrests have been made yet, but local law enforcement is investigating the incident.

Local law enforcement paid for by the parents of these imbecile Fúcktards. How is that going to work out.

Tag each of their names and addresses so any future employer can Google them. They deserve everything they get.

Idiots defending other idiots it seems. "Like you all never partied as a kid" -sure I did, never felt the need to break into someone elses home and vandalize the place however...

Henlars67

There are few things worse than people who knock sport.

If you don't like a sport, fair enough, but don't knock it, particularly when you don't know the first thing about it.

It makes you look stupid.

So, they wreck the guys house, and then post pictures of themselves doing it, and are no worried that some else has ruined there college changes? I think anyone stupid enough to post pictures of themselves committing a crime, perhaps aren't going to be college bound....

Also, perhaps they should have taken the opportunity to come to his house and help clean up, and perhaps posted pictures of themselves doing that. If they did that, that probably would go a long way to rehabilitating there image to prospective colleges and future employers. Instead they chose the worst option to continue to act like a spoiled brats.

Fair play to the one kid who actually showed up, to help clean up, and do the decent thing.

Ah good, they've started rounding up the little toerags.
