You say you didn't understand my question, and it is the same place where Dark got lost.

If what the kids did wasn't wrong, that means that it was right. So I ask you, please justify the behavior.

We can't live in a system of fear, but drive-thru attendants are now the constant victims of late night pranks which can also be called harassment and even assault. This is reality.

So when someone is messing on the drive-thru mic do I think "Oh, those silly kids. What'll they think of next?" or do I think "Oh crap! What are they going to do when they get to the window?!?"

This is why I cannot call someone and breathe heavy into the phone. Sure, I am not "doing anything" but that doesn't mean it isn't a form of harassment.

I don't know why you are bringing in "gov't functions" here. This has nothing to do with the government.

Of course you could be a victim of violence at any time. But I lock my car and lock my house. That's not living in fear. That's just common sense. Ten years ago I could meet a friend at the airport at his gate. Now I have to wait in a pre-security area. That's how the world changes. Too bad these kids weren't living in the 80s when people didn't have YouTube, flip-cams and nothing better to do.
