Common sense. Lacking it can get you killed. If in 15 years the father hadn't explained to his son why creeping around in black with your face covered at night is a bad idea then the blame lies on him as well. And at 15 even my dumb [self] knew this was a bad idea. Kid HAD to have been up to no good if you ask me.

Am I just heartless? I really can't feel bad for stupid people.

Everyone I know understands that kicking down my door or breaking a window at my apartment is a REALLY bad decision. I make that clear.

Edit: I'm sure I'll catch flak for this, let the poo flinging begin.
