    How incredibly stupid.

    Even at ignorant face value, there is nothing in their logic that justifies property damage and vandalism. Beyond that, it is base ignorance...Toyota is a Japanese based company but a global entity. Toyota USA provides uncountable jobs to Americans.

    I simply cannot imagine being so stupid. To actually plan to go to an auto show and DO vandalism...

    Sure, last year when I saw the Grinning Mazda Grills, I had a momentary urge to kick them....but I fought it down...

    To ALL the people that DO NOT live in the USA:


    Please, do not form an opinion on ALL Americans based on the actions of a few.

    I live in the US. But, we all live on the same planet. My hope is, one day, that everyone on this planet can live side by side/be friends/shake hands/eat at same dinner table.

    I mean this is 2011. Don't you think it's time?

    I've been aware of Jerry Springer (and watched it once or twice) and realise that the people who appear on this show do not represent ALL Americans either.

    Idiots (trying to find a clean word) are idiots the world over.

    Well, I had the pleasure of visiting London. I pretty much embraced the full "tourist" P.O.V. ....I wasn't able to stay long enough to do much more than that. But it was a fantastic city to be a tourist in...

    And I would say Your Idiots...sound so much more civilized than Our Idiots....

    Are you sure? Or were you wearing a pair of super strength beer goggles at the time? ;)

    Just think how badly the UAW offices must have been vandalized, they had the major role in taking US jobs overseas.

    I would be interested in knowing what kind of criminal history these three have. Hopefully, they do some time. But I really doubt it.

    I'd make the punishment fit the crime. I'd make them work the following: A few months at a Toyota Dealership, so they could see how many Americans are employed by Toyota and what a symbiotic relationship Toyota has with The U.S.A.. Toyota USA is the USA.

    Then I'd make them work at a Bodyshop, so they could get a hands on feel about the labor and cost involved in repairing automotive vandalism.

    Then I'd make them wear dresses and work as Spokes Girls for Toyota at next years Automotive Convention...
