It all started with banning dodge ball in school and having everyone win. Pretty soon nobody was responsible and if the teachers got mad at you or something instead of fearing for your life when you got home. Your mommy or daddy is more likely on the phone defending you and finding fault in how it was handled and way to often the first call is not to the school or whatever but to a lawyer first.
Had a kid recently bust one of windows. Kid had been told several times to not hit shit with his bat in the street - by his parents. Sure enough he knocks a ball through my window. I was only slightly pissed but I did not over react nor freak out. Hell I busted a window or two as a kid myself. The parent said they would pay for it so I got it fixed. I casually asked what the kids punishment was going to be, hell didnt even use the word punishment. Found out it was nothing at all. Inside I was like WTF? he was warned, did it anyways and gets off free and his parents pay his way out. Fuck when I was a kid and did it I had to perform some heavy slave labor to help pay for the windows. Go figure that when I bring that person the bill for the window, now it is too much and it shouldnt of cost that much to fix. I did get 3 damn estimates and went with cheapest. Already filed for small claims. I just know I am not getting shit out of this now and well GRRR. Oh they are also just renters on the street.
