Wasn't the picture taken in 2006? Chances are the kids are home now...although I suppose that wouldn't prevent them from having to return for their day in court.

If the offended party chooses to prosecute, due process is followed, and the young men receive a punishment, then I think they should abide by it. I just think there is room here for some mercy, recognizing the foolishness of youth. If a similar thing were done in a place I hold sacred by similarly stupid young men, I would be upset and probably want an apology, but I don't know that I would insist on a punishment that could haunt them for the rest of their lives. The Christian gospel is supposed to be about helping people, not tearing them down. I'd wager these boys have already learned their lesson.

I wonder if the other two will be forced to apologize, under the threat of excommunication. Doubt it. No hints of apostasy. |

And for the record, it doesn't appear that they vandalized it. They desecrated it (which I'm not saying isn't serious), but they didn't permanently damage or destroy any property. What is wrong with CG this morning? No sense of proportion in anything? The Great Evil Tex has been turned into the Angel of Compassion! Have you not had your coffee yet or something?

Right, once they turn 19 you should bite their head off. That'll work.

I'm with tooblue. Time for these boys to man up. Although I do think they should be demoted to deacon.
