If the Pumpkin Throwers had been Detroiters...

KK..although I agree with your Bad Bob comment your speculation of the punks who committed this criminal act is also wrong. How do you know they wern't "punks" from Ypsi, Ann Arbor, South Lyon, or any other place including Detroit? You can't assume these "punks" were from a specific area. If this guy had died (God forbid) you would see much more outrage on this forum over the act. I'm just glad he's going to be alright. I don't know if I could be as forgiving.

If the Pumpkin Throwers had been Detroiters...

...surely posters like Badbob and other white sheet wearers would come out in droves to make derogatory comments about 'those Detroit people' and their animalistic, criminal nature. How strange that the Detroit-haters are silent about these lowlife punk SUBURBAN Plymouth pumpkin throwers.

A prank like this could have easily resulted in a death. Yet it was perpetrated by spoiled punk kids whose parents make the money to enable their wretched brats to attend top rated Plymouth schools.

Pumpkins thrown

I hope the perpetrators see all the comments letting them know what type of loser they are. And for their parents, shame on you for not raising your children to be decent human beings. Their parents never should have been allowed to have children. Take care Mr. Keil and get well soon.

Pumpkin throwers

I just hope they catch the idiotic fools who did this. What kind of moron would do something like this?

They could have killed this man and they probably think what they did was funny....catch them and throw their butts in jail!
