Some Folks are No Good

What kind of sick freak would burn down a playground?

MILLINOCKET, Maine - Tina McLeod could only stand there and cry.

The Creative Playground at Stearns High School that she and six other residents spent more than two years as volunteers raising money to build about four years ago was almost totally destroyed Wednesday in a fire that Fire Chief Wayne Campbell said appeared to have suspicious origins.

"After I got over the fact that there was nobody hurt, which is the main thing, I was sick about it," McLeod said Thursday. "I just couldn’t believe that somebody would do that.

Combine that with this story about a couple of girls who vandalized a cemetery and you've just got to wonder what the heck is wrong with these kids?

Yes, I realize that makes me sound like an old codger. That might be because I am.

I'm not old. I'm not a 'Think of the children!!!111one!!' person. That being said, this is disgusting. What is wrong with kids? What makes them think that burning a playground or smashing a gravestone would be fun or cool? "Huh huh huh, we made people feel bad, how cool are we?"

Makes me sick.
