Toilet-papering: a harmless prank

Louis Fols needs to lighten up. Is the issue of kids throwing some toilet paper through trees really the end of the world?

Growing up, this was common practice and a fun prank. Really, what's the harm at the end of the day? You had to pick up some TP. Did they spray paint anything or permanently damage anything? If not, get over it.

Just because some kids played a practical joke doesn't indicate that they'll be stealing cars and robbing banks in a couple years.

My friends and I did this regularly growing up, both to people we knew and strangers, and we turned out fine- some people just have trees that are begging to have TP thrown through them.

Several years later now, I have a family, own a business in Simi Valley and make six figures doing software development. When my kids are of age, if TP'ing houses gets the mischief out of their system, so be it. Greg Dolder Simi Valley
