Video of Hummer keying: http://www.youtube.com/v/A7R320pfAz4&hl=en&fs=1

On Sept 5, 2008 near Fort Worth, Texas - this man keyed a high school student's 2008 Hummer - caught on video.

I dont know about him but high school student with a Hummer?

Also, who has cameras on their car? Really?

Purposely defacing someone's private property is wrong no matter what. I voted fine and jail time.

You need the Vincent Vega, "it would have been worth him doing it if I could have only been there!"

Same thing that happens to any other vandal.
I would hope that means full restitution (for the damage), a fine and some jail time. Not sure what the normal punishment is though.

I agree. Even if it is a Fuel Sucking Pig(FSP), it's still someone else's property and it was wrong.

In all honesty, I dont think we should throw someone in jail for something like this on his first offense.

They'll probably just make him pay for the damage and a sum of money on top of it for " emotional damages"

Its not worth the justice systems money to hold a trial for this or pay to keep him in jail.

As vehicles replaced horses and horse thieves were hung or whipped then hanging or whipping should do nicely. Of course this is only after the vandal makes full restitution for the damage. Yes I consider the damaging of a persons car on the same level of seriousness as theft, the driver will be without his vehicle while it is being repaired.

Now about how a school student is driving a hummer, someone needs to hang for that as well.

I had to vote "I could not serve on the jury" because I am excused from jury duty for the rest of my life because I work in an enforcement job.

How about restitution, pay court costs and 80 hours of community service (picking up trash and dog poop at the local parks)?
