Culprit in mail box vandalism - Hollywood ?

Your editorial on outrageous mail box vandalism this morning

    ( May 9 ) made me reflect on the possible inspiration for it. Most

    young idiots lack imagination even for mischief and look to

    Hollywood for great ideas.

          View the film " Stand By Me " - based on a Stephen King

    story. There is a scene in it where the delinquent leader," Ace ",

    is bashing off country road mail boxes  with a baseball bat

    while  riding in the front seat of a car.  A dozen decapitations

    were enough batting practice for the day !

               Ace's  " hobby " was worthy of his future occupation-

    lounge lizard in a small town bar.

             I won't blame  horror writer Stephen King for this

    mail box vandalism . But those movies DO give the less bright

    kids IDEAS !
