Reading through all of this I just will say the Justice System is flawed.
I would side with community service though, and some severe fines for the property damage, I wouldn't throw the book at them. The point is everythng should be case by case and we shouldn't paint every issue and every scenario with a broad brush stroke.
College kids are still kids and they are stupid. The fine alone will ride with them and their credit, but don't destroy their ability to make a life in this world by giving them a felony conviction. That just adds to our already uncontrollable justice system.
It's like the five year old charged with sexual harrassment and they were talking about having him register as a sex offender.
Let the punishment fit the crime once we get the complete information.
