He didn’t steal anything but it’s gonna cost us 500 clams that we can’t afford to fix the window he came through. :mad::mad: Karma. If you treat people IRL like you do here, I’m not surprised. When th ewindow is fixed, maybe he’ll come back and do it again. Oh, also… Fuck Off. ---

Without knowing any details, it doesn’t really sound like a burglary where theft was the intent. I’d ask if you’ve pissed anyone off lately, but the answer seems obvious. Might want to sniff anything you might put in your mouth for poop before using it. ---

I’ll offer sympathy, because I love all people: **Clothahump** , I’m sorry that your school was broken into, and I hope the damage is fixed and the burglar caught. ---

Awwww…poor **Humpy**. Whiny and butt-hurt. Again. You know that the person that did this is still out there and laughing at you. Worse, it may have been one of those scary scary brown people. Maybe you should go hide under your bed for a while. Try not to pee on yourself this time. ---

> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > I’ll offer sympathy, because I love all people: **Clothahump** , I’m sorry that your school was broken into, and I hope the damage is fixed and the burglar caught. I agree with this. It seems awfully petty to cheer someone’s school being burglarized just because that person happens to A) disagree with you politically, and B) be a jerk about it. Even jerks don’t deserve to be victims of crimes. ---
