Topix Underground

Normally, I'm pro-executing all criminals. But there was this kid that lived down the street at my old house. He was 18 and his girlfriend was 17...or something like that. Anyhow, whatever happened between them happened and the girl's dad was a real prick and had the kid arrested and then he was put on the sex offenders' registry...or whatever they do and that kid is branded for life as a pedophile. Granted, he was a punk. I didn't like him. But he didn't deserve that. Maybe he did. One time their  house had smoke pouring out of the upstairs window...those houses have like the bungalow room upstairs with the slanted ceiling (finished attic). Apparently the kid was growing reefer and the lights fell over. So there were firemen on his parents' roof eager to try out their new gas-powered fire/rescue saws. He was a punk. He's probably in jail by now. But he didn't deserve the scarlet letter.
