Utah kids are pigs, anymore.
A few years ago, our daughter carefully carved a large pumpkin to decorate our porch. The very first trick-or-treater banged on the door, we recognized him as the Boy Scout we'd donated to a couple of weeks before, got his treats, and then (when he thought we weren't looking out the window), kicked the pumpkin off the porch. We opened the door, asked him what he was doing, he just looked (with the typical jaw agape), and ran off.
I'm so glad "that kind" now goes to Trunk-and-Treat or whatever it's called, because THAT element is not welcome at our doorstep.

Picture in your mind the amount of time and work put into this by the farmer who own the patch. Planting the seeds, watering them, weeding the pumpkin patch etc etc. Please be considerate. Would you be so sarcastic if these were your grandpa's pumpkins? I do hope that those responsible for doing the damage are caught and taught a lesson about destroying someone else's property.

I don't understand how pumkinator can say those things without being simpathetic to the very same pathetic, childish minds that believe what they did was fun or in any way funny. Sometime in their lives they will feel loss and I do not think they will find it funny or fun when they are on the receiving end.

What is so funny about someone losing a portion of their business and livelihood? Farming is tough work and success and prosperity is subject to so many elements; immature people shouldn't be one of them.
