Destruction

Hurts Everyone

To the Randolph vandals who release their pent up energy by defacing or destroying the property of others, get a clue. These are businesses owned, and supported by people, possibly your family, friends, and relatives. People who work hard for their paycheck, and don’t have bottomless financial resources.

While you may not be physically hurting anyone, the emotional, and financial stress is taking its toll. What you are doing is not a video game, or TV program, restored each time you turn it off and on. Insurance will cover it, you say, maybe. However, increased claims and increased costs result. All are passed on to family, friends, and relatives, the same people, who support local business, business, that could be lost, with repeated setbacks, on projects, or improvements, that took months, or years of planning, and saving for.

The next time you have the need to burn off boredom, take a deep breath, count to ten, and go, or stay home. Release your energy on your own belongings. When you wake up, maybe you’ll realize the financial consequences of fixing, or replacing them.

Should you be guilty by association your values need to be straightened out too.
