Please - either stay in school and pay attention or go back to school and learn. Give up some of the extras that you insist parents buy you and you'd have your parents home. DUH. Life of "give me" is over. You can make ends "meet" it just takes a compromise on all sides. Shop at Aldis & Goodwill. They actually have those brands that you insist on wearing on your behinds to be cool with your peers. Times are hard for all but we can get through it. Just to have adjust.

Some people we know had their home invasion a few years ago on the west side. They moved, but the damage was done. It will never stop. My best advice is for all of us to move away before we get hurt. The top 10 reasons for getting out of South Bend: shootings, robberies, Taxes, SBCSC Board, illegals, crooked politicians, Dieter, property taxes, Luecke, and horrible weather forecasters. Cooreman's Cooremanville is just as bad. No thanks.

I would have but of course these idiots that can't read the story would have said that we were in the wrong and shouldn't have owned a gun. Then they would have said "the POOR guy...maybe he was just trying to get some eggs to cook dinner for his kids!

The home owners should have used their Right and met those thugs with deadly force with a 12 gage shotgun
