Vandalism result of UT loss?

[The Niz]

Early Sunday morning, nine separate acts of vandalism occurred on the BGSU campus. The slogans "BG SUCKS", "UT", and the slUT Rocket symbol were found tagged on the 'Thinking' Statue outside Olscamp Hall, A Fine Arts Sign, a BGSU sign outside the CMA, a BGSU sign outside the Health Center, a federal mailbox, a university mailbox, and on signs in parking lots N, O, and 14. I personally believe this to be the result of slUT actually winning a basketball game against us and in true Rockette fashion four kids didn't know how to accept the victory graciously. Things like this truly show what that school has to offer its students.

As far as retaliation goes, anyone who goes 15 minutes up North with some spray paint in an attempt to exact revenge might as well just transfer to slUT and stop bringing our school down to their crumby level. My personal feelings are that we should petition city hall to enforce these students' penalties in a somewhat unorthadox fashion. Instead of fining them or giving them jail time or a mark on their permanant records (which they no doubt already have lots of), their punishment should simply be to clean/repair any damage they did to the Universsity and its campus. I believe dressing them head to toe in orange and brown and making them go to each of the nine places to clean up their mess in the middle of the day would be a justifiable salution to the problem. The clincher, to really make them sorry for what they did (since when they got caught they lied to the police and said they were here to paint the spirit rock, which never changed throughout the course of the weekend), would be to make them paint a formal apology to the University as a whole onto the rock in our school colors while singing Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba.

Any thoughts on the matter?

My bad, I usually don't look that far down, and since it happened the night we lost to UT I thought the roundball forum would be an appropriate place to talk about it.

[Jacobs4Heisman]

Any place is a good place to talk about UT enrolling felons.

[The Niz]

I guess they would count as felons, or at least they have now committed a crime against the government since they tagged a federal mailbox in their little party.

pot, kettle, idiots, blah, blah, blah. sucks that students from here ruined your stuff but it's definately not like your students/fans haven't come onto our campus damagaing our stuff before. Don't get a holier than though attitude when it's both sides that has some bad eggs seemingly every year.

BG = good
Toledo = bad

[The Niz]

I'm sure some of our students have in fact committed some sort of vandalism to your campus, that is bound to happen no matter how great our University actually is. One thing to consider though, would be the fact that we're not actually dumb enough to get caught in the middle of these acts and then try to lie through our teeth to the police.

[Shrakkrocket]

and that makes it less classless and ok to do?

[Jacobs4Heisman]

Nope -- it just means that your vandals need to get some rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal good lawyers.

[The Niz]

It doesn't make it ok, I said earlier that I wish everyone who does that to your school would just transfer up there and quit bringing down our name. However I have not been around long enough to know of any of the incedents you're talking about thus cannot argue for or against them. That forces me to concede that maybe there are a few bad apples around here too, but I'm glad that they're smart bad apples.

The University knows which students it was and took their information. The article can be found here:

Also important to add, there have been no official reports of vandalism on the UT campus. Not saying it hasn't happened, just stating that it hasn't been reported to the police. They have damaged government property, so they better have some damn good lawyers. If I'm not mistaken, tampering with any part of the mail system is a felony.

[Shrakkrocket]

actually I'm not sure if the writing on the doors of savage was regular paint or glass paint or what but I was actually referring to the damage to Centennial Mall last year.

Also, granted mailboxes are "federal property", they're not going to get sent to the federal pen for painting on them. Tampering with the delivery of the mail is a felony, for example beating up a mailman and taking the bag or taking mail out of the box or someone elses mail is.

[BGDrew]

I stand corrected, but is still destruction of federal property.

[The Niz]

I don't recall anyone from BGSU being responsible for anything that happened at the mall...
