Chick-fil-A owner doesn't press charges against girls who caused $30,000 damage to his home
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — Chick-fil-A restaurant founder S. Truett Cathy has decided not to press charges against two girls who caused $30,000 worth of damage to his home.
Instead, Cathy has worked out a deal with the girls’ parents: the youngsters are banned from watching TV and playing video games. They also must read a good book and write “I will not vandalize other people’s property” 1,000 times.
I have long been a fan of Chic-fil-a since I discovered that, in addition to good chicken sandwiches, they had accomplished a coup in the big mall world by refusing to be open on Sundays. Malls insist that every store be open when the mall is open. Chic-fil-a was closed on Sundays. If only other "christian" business owners had the conviction to stick to their guns and press the issue like Truett did.
I like the way this guy thinks. Throwing the two pre-teens in to juvie only makes them worse in my opinion. I would have made them write the sentence thirty thousand times (rather than one thousand) and somehow worked in some parental administered corporal punishment (although that did recently get one judge in trouble). Either way even Truitt's lighter sentence for the girls will probably teach them a lot more than juvie, which usually teaches the kids to be better criminals.
