I know people that do way worse things like car hop, sell drugs, do acid, and stealing bottles. "Stealing" pumpkins is nothing.Someone who says "stealing isn't really a crime" clearly doesn't know what stealing is, or doesn't know what a crime is. It's scary to think there are college-bound adolescents who don't grasp these concepts.
Kids do bad things all of the time knowing that they're bad, for various reasons. That's beside the point; I'm talking about not knowing that something is bad.
And there's a huge difference between "bragging about my deeds" and discussing my experience many years after the fact to help you understand what I'm talking about.
