300 High School kids from Stephentown, NY broke into a $1.5M home of a former NFL player, throw a huge party, vandalized the shit out of the property, and put a shitload of pics of it on social media.

Former NFL star hunts down all the photos online, posts them to a website, and instead of raging out offers outreach and support for the 300 kids who he sees as needing "help".

Parents of kids are angry at the former NFL star for outing their little snowflakes, and are threatening to sue.

wtf is wrong with people??

This was the most amazing part about all this. There's no way in hell I'd be trying to help these little shits if it happened to me. I mean it doesn't sound like we're talking about some poor kid committing a crime cause he doesn't have any options, its just a bunch of entitled rich kids who have their parents trying to litigate them to safety.

We're suing because these pictures will hinder them from getting into a good school.

Fuck those parents. The ex-football player is doing probably the best thing he can in terms of not pressing charges, but still trying to hold these little bastards accountable for their actions. Typical America now though, no one is accountable for anything. Thanks Obama.

He should say fine sue me, you can expect a counter suit as well for having douchebag teenage kids that you are responsible for and now you are paying for my property.

I know this guy is trying to turn this into a positive situation and more power to him. If it were me I would have every single one of those little fucks that I could prove were there tossed in jail and say too bad you can't get into college should have thought about that before tearing up my property.

The only parents that I could see being justified in complaining or suing is if their children were involved in the online exchange but not actually at the party and ended up on this guy's website. I went to the website and some pictures are just screen captures of tweets and not actually photos so I could see how it could be a possibility.

But for the kids that have actual photos of themselves at the party and/or made statements of being there and publicly posted them, fuck 'em, they dug their own grave.

" Six people were arrested on charges they were among hundreds of young partygoers who trashed a former NFL player's vacation home, and police said more arrests were expected.

The arrests on Thursday came after former New England Patriots and Los Angeles Raiders offensive lineman Brian Holloway said he signed papers authorizing the Rensselaer County sheriff to bring charges in the Labor Day weekend party, which was attended by up to 400 teenagers.

Holloway said that among those charged was a young man he had taken into his family for a time as a homeless teen, who's accused of organizing and promoting the party. He said investigators have told him the number of people charged could end up in the hundreds as they work through the sheer volume of participants.

"Everyone that broke the law, I'm pressing charges against," Holloway said. "The parents had a chance and students had a chance to come forward, and only four did."

Holloway, who played offensive tackle for the Patriots and Raiders in the 1980s, gained national attention by reposting party pictures the teens had put on social media websites. He said he posted them on the website helpmesave300.com in an effort to get the teens to come forward, take responsibility for their actions and change their behavior.

Instead, he said, some parents were angry about his website and there was even a threatened lawsuit.

"I tried to be as accommodating as I could, but they took their stand by not showing up," Holloway said.

The partiers caused at least $20,000 in damage to his rural vacation home near the Massachusetts border in Stephentown, including broken windows and holes in the wall, he said.

Police said a ringleader of the party was 19-year-old Seth Hawk, the young man Holloway said he had taken into his family a few years ago. Hawk, of Grafton, faces felony charges of burglary and criminal mischief and misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child. He's accused of advertising the party and providing alcohol.

Three of the other arrested people face felony charges including burglary and larceny, and two are charged with misdemeanors, including trespassing. They range in age from 17 to 21.

A phone number wasn't available for Hawk, and authorities said they didn't know the names of the arrested people's lawyers.

Holloway said Hawk was a classmate of his son and had a troubled youth but found stability living as part of his family when he was about 15. He said hearing about Hawk's involvement "was a shocker."

"We're still pulling for him," he said. "This may be the thing to get him on track.""

Other reports have said the house was in foreclosure and was already trashed as it had been vacant for years. Still doesn't excuse anybody, but he might be inflating the damages to get some money out of it
