Breaking into a strangers house to throw a kegger is next-level shit, not run-of-the-mill high school hijinks. This isn't someone throwing a party because mom and dad left town. The ringleaders should see jail time, and anyone attending should be charged and sentenced to community service of some kind. We hear lots of talk about entitled kids these days. Well, this is what happens when that attitude goes too far. Not surprised in the slightest that Westlake and Lake Travis kids are involved. Bunch of Baker Mayfield douchebag starter kits deserve whatever they get. A minor criminal record to fuck up the next phase of life is precisely what they deserve, and it just might course correct an attitude that will only lead to more poor choices. They can enjoy JUCO for a couple of years and make room for decent human beings at real universities. Hopefully a win for everyone.
I remember some municipalities had "teen court" years ago, don't know if they still do it or not, but teens served as the jury and dorks from local high schools served as prosecution and defense reps. If you were facing a charge, mostly traffic violations and other minor infractions, you also served on a jury, so you might be passing judgment on a kid who would then be sitting on your jury. Made for interesting results, primarily extensive community service judgments.
So many ways to party as a high schooler. This was epically stupid. Could have got someone killed if the wrong homeowner showed up in the middle of it, or if a bunch of drunk teens stumbled upon some firearms. A father with a young child isn't likely to take a measured approach to a home invasion, nor should he.
