  - [deleted]
  - I think anything a person posts publicly is fair game, minor or not. -- nm - mara Sep 20, 12:18 3
    - I'm not aware of how they were posted, I guess. I'm ok with the pictures being reposted, I'm just wondering about the names, specifically. - JaxSean Sep 20, 12:24 2
      - Here's the site - lots of tweets are posted under real names -- (link) - Roger More Sep 20, 12:30 1

        I might have had issues if it was "And John Smith of 213 Main St. posted this picture." - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 20, 13:30
      - They caused $20k in damage to his house! Fuck 'em! -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 12:23 3
        
        plus stole part of a monument to a stillborn grandchild -- nm - zork Sep 20, 12:27 2
        
        and he gave them a chance to make it right and they rebuffed him - friggin snots. -- nm - Diva Sep 20, 12:30 1

    - he's too nice if he does not press charges. - Mel Profit Sep 20, 12:12 2
      - Agreed. Plus, posting pictures of themselves doing it? That's self-absorption from today's kids. - JaxSean Sep 20, 12:17
      - Damn right. -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 12:15
