Not really the place for this but I'll chance it.

This was early afternoon, things got really wild by late evening.


I'll wait to find out all the facts before I comment too much on this. One thing I will say, if my father found out I was with a gang of kids that went after a adult, he first would have kicked my ..., second taken me to the adult and made me apologize, if I had broke a law he would have driven me to the police dept. After that there would have been a long, long wrath of punishment that would have come in many forms.

Brings back memory of the first time I stayed out drinking, I crawled in early morning hours. Dad woke me up at 5 AM, told me to get dressed and be outside in five minuets. He put me to hard work till dark, I was hung over as hell, a few times I threw up, he took no pity and said "puke it out and get back to work." He never chewed me out, didn't have too, I knew exactly what he was thinking. I was so glad to see that Saturday come to an end, little did I know it was going to repeat the next day and every Saturday and Sunday for the following month, sun up to sun down. I learned my lesson, now I look back and say thanks Dad for the tough love.

Sitting down, facing forward.
My comment is a little different. Why is it these "videographers" can't find the concept of rotating the camera 90 degrees to provide a better, more inclusive, shot? Maybe they're trying to hide what else is actually going on in the scene? Actually, I kind of doubt that, they aren't that bright.

Today, they'd all get jail time for child abuse and I'd still be out there causing havoc. Is it really a better solution?

No Federal refund for me this year, had to pay them $300. Went through 3rd party company with Paypal.
I prefer to not use CC online when possible, never lost a dime but it's a pain in the rear when something happens.

????? I am missing the context of the PP thing?

Same with me. I got grounded for a full year (to the day) when I was 13 for writing curse words on the neighbor's house with charcoal briquettes.
Long story short, after 1 year our weed infested malnourished 1/2 acre lawn looked like a golf green. Some greens keepers from Augusta showed up one day looking for pointers! :lol:
Of course before that there was a trip to the woodshed, to the neighbor's to apologize and a trip to the police dept.

My kids were good, better than I was anyway, all it took to keep them in line was stories about my father's discipline and I never ran out of stories. I'm not saying they were ALL true.:D
