More former and current BHS students?

and look at their smug faces they need to be slapped

Momof3 obviously they haven't been disciplined or they wouldn't be getting into this kind of trouble. I know tons of kids their age who are holding down jobs and being upstanding citizens so what's wrong with these three? They are "adults", too, so they will be charged as such, also. SMH

@Kristine. What does that matter? Good for the police for catching them and they will hopefully get the consequence that is appropriate for their actions. However, I do not see how if they went to or are going to Bolingbrook High has anything to do with their actions.

I work with Luis. He has his papers. So you other 'Bolingbrook Resident' don't judge a book by its cover. He is 100% of an America as you are. They just made some really poor and idiotic choices. Stop criticizing

I never knew Bolingbrook was filled with racist, disrespectful, and judgmental people. It's a shame especially since these are the adults speaking. And I hate always reading articles on here and it ALWAYS gets connected back to BHS IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SCHOOL SO MUCH OR ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO BLAME THE SCHOOL THEN LEAVE. The only trash here is all the people who feel the need to constantly comment on these articles with unnecessary remarks. Grow up.

WOAH, EVERYONE. We do not permit vulgar language, racist comments, accusations about others and general incivility in our comment section. You also need to post under your own name. We encourage conversation on the site, but it has to be appropriate conversation. All comments not fitting that criteria have been deleted.

As were a couple of yours! Potty mouth! Mine wasn't racist, it was a fact about Odumbas stupid immigration law he passed illegally !

I sure wish that Sheriff Joe Arpaio was a Sheriff here! What a true American hero!!! He's actually doing Obamas job!

Great job, BPD and the citizen who had the good sense to call in to report a problem. It truly doesn't matter what school these kids went to, do you think the teachers can teach the kids not to be criminals? Nope, that is something that should have come from their parents. Maybe they were honor student criminals, who knows?! But let's let BHS off the hook for this one. We are one community here, we need to watch out for each other and stop beating up each other on this venue.

People are just being ignorant. Everyone makes mistakes and I bet more than half of the people who commented on this have done similar or even worse acts but just haven't been caught. You all need to settle down and stop pointing fingers like young children. You're all talking about how they are young adults and should act their age well set the example and do so yourselves please.

I'm sure most on u don't even know them they are good ppl who did stupid things hopefully they learn from this and become better ppl. They r great friends of mine and it sucks to read all of this racist trash being posted. Stop being so judgmental nd its stupid that they posted their pics online

I have a student who attends BHS. I don't think burglary, vandalism and criminality are part of the curriculum at the school. In this case, yes, it is the parents poor parenting skills that should be attacked, along with the stupidity of what these boys did. I'm a little shocked that people immediately seem to attack the race of the perpetrator, and this is not right. Somewhere along the line, you must have been conditioned to assume that race has a certain degree of criminality associated with it. Statistics do NOT report all crime. Many crimes in this city, and this country, go unreported. Since race has become such a hotbed of activity with the Main Stream Media, suddenly everyone is looking to blame someone because of their race. Wake up people, it is not race that is the problem. It is the upbringing of these individuals that is the problem. Race has nothing to do with it. Just look at the smiling faces of crime here. In addition to these boys being tried as adults, their parents should also suffer some consequence for doing such a poor job of raising them. If you don't want to do it right, then don't have kids at all!

ITS JUST VANDALISM . THEY DIDN'T KILL ANYONE. just because they are 18 does not mean they cannot act like teens. they are getting punished for their actions . I honestly know for a fact that BHS is an amazing school and you obviously wouldn't know if it was a good school if you don't go there. Stop being judgmental. THEIR PARENTS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

and yeah it was rude and not responsible at all of them, but they dont deserve to get criticized when they're already facing time.

Ranaa how can you say it was just vandalism ! How about I burn a house down and no one gets hurt! It's just arson and I can act like an adult having fun! There's no difference here ! A crime is a crime!

The parents of these punks should be ordered to buy the vehicles from the poor victims of the stupid crime by stupid punks !

See, if you burned down a house, you'd go to jail just like these kids did.. SOOOO, i see no reason to keep criticizing them and the school and their parents when, for one, the school/parents had nothing to do with this crime and ,secondly, THEY ARE IN JAIL. what else do you want? Im not justifying their actions, I'm just saying that if they are being punished already then why is everyone trying to solve the root of the problem when it was just them being reckless..not the school .. not their parents upbringing..

THEIR PARENTS SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING SINCE THEY WERE TRIED AS ADULTS AND ARE DOING TIME.They are 18, why would their parents be involved in their lives? They should be less involved in their lives so that their kids can be learn to be responsible and start their own lives. So they vandalized property.. Maybe they shouldn't've done it to private property but still, i'm sure half of the adults saying that this is a "horrible crime" actually have vandalized in the past. They're not bad people for vandalizing, they just made a mistake and they're getting punished for it. There's honestly nothing else to say..

Just because your kid doesnt act a certain way doesnt mean that other kids will not act out. Your kid does not reflect all of Bolingbrook.

They are punks and are probably out of jail by now! If the parents dont pay for the damage, these punks should be ordered to buy the vehicles then! And it can be their first car with damage to remained them how stupid they were!

Punished how!!

I agree with Ranaa. No one should be blamed except the people partaking in the crime, and also they are being punished so they should not be criticized and judged by people who have probably done the same thing before (maybe on a smaller scale) .

One more thing! Lucky the owners of the vehicles didn't catch they punks in the act! There would be some broken bones or fingers! If it was my vehicle and I caught them, I guarantee they would be hurting very badly!

Say your sweet child one day decides to act out and gets caught doing it. Do you think that you should get fined/judged for their actions (especially if they are adults)? Do you want people criticizing your kid who is already getting thoroughly punished? Their parents weren't the cause of this. They have brains of their own.BUT i hope they will be apologizing to the families who have lost a lot from their actions. because this was no walk in the park for those families.

They aren't children! Yes they deserve corporal punishment! And what did Melissa tell everyone about calling people names! So with that Shereena I reported you and asked to have your stupid comment removed!

I am an ex-alumni of BHS, BHS has nothing to do with this. Bolingbrook high school has its own problems. If anything Bolingbrook is its own breeding grounds for its own crimes, BELIEVE IT OR NOT! I'm glad I don't see as much gang related activity, and neighborhoods are safer than they were before thanks to our PD. I work with these guys, and these were our best workers. But this has been going on for a while, kids from Bolingbrook High School have been going to other's property's (as well as mine) as a form to get back, or start drama. If you have a teen, in BHS they are in the hands or professionals and respectful faculty. If you want to start blaming people it is not the parents, its the people who committed the crime. Lets leave people like John Moreli to try to start arguements with people, YES THEY ARE RECEIVING PUNISHMENT, THANK YOU JOHN AKA CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

Do you just sit on your computer all day I see you've been posting all day, do us all a favor and get some light, maybe visit this link http://www.match.com/index.aspx

Some of these comments are just ignorant. Stop blaming bolingbrook high school, the school has nothing to do with their actions. All I see above is a bunch of GROWN adults pointing fingers and being racist. Yes, they made a huge mistake but everyone does. They have to live with their actions not you. I work with all three of them, and they are some of the best employees.

2 of these 3 perps are my fellow classmates. Victor Perez is actually a VERY intelligent young man (taken many AP/honors classes through out high school) and and Luis Rivera is a very hard working man who takes on crazy shifts and pays taxes like everyone else. there are moments when stupid decisions become noticed by the public/legal eye. These guys are young men are still getting their act together--to those who are looking down upon them, you know you've been in shameful situations as well. These guys may have gotten into a rut, but consider the time, their enviornment, and what has happened to them. They may have not been in the right state of mind. Those judging should just stop.

Regarding the previous conversation half of the comments above make me grimace at the ignorance being portrayed. As a former student of Bolingbrook I can honestly say I felt safe, secure, and got an amazing education there. Yes, there are kids who fall down the wrong path and then cause Bolingbrook to get a bad reputation for the stupidity of a few teenagers. But Shame on anyone who judges a school by the very little amount of knowledge they know about the school to even judge. Second of all, I personally know 2 out of the 3 criminals and it kills me to see their mug shot because they are nice, funny, even responsible. I have no idea what became of them to do such a thing, but this mistake is something that got them into a much bigger problem. It makes me so angry to see all these comments acting like they know them. They don't deserve the names, the rude remarks, the racist views, the ignorance being thrown at them. Yes they made mistakes, but no I would never classify them as bad people. They did the crime, theyre paying the time. But all in all these teenagers have upheld jobs and been productive members of society until now. One thing, and now they're the villains of Bolingbrook. All the negativity towards them is sure to help nothing, but show how quick people are too judge.

I hope all these parents commenting talking about how perfect their kids are know that they probably have done worse they just didn't get cought. Yes what they did was wrong but it was a mistake and I'm sure they regret it. I work with all of them and they are all very hardworking and caring people. You don't know their life or why they dis what they did so stfu. People make mistakes it doesn't make them horrible people for it or all of you would be horrible people to.

I think the comments made by these so called "adults" are quite ridiculous. The school has nothing to do with this. The parents shouldn't be the blame if one does not know their background story and what they have been through. Some have it tougher than others. Yes what they did is highly unacceptable but I am sure they have recognized what they have done and regret it. People need to stop being so judgemental and mean. Calling them names does not make you any better. Yes John, my boyfriend was released earlier today. In case if you wondering.

It's amazing how us teenagers has more sense then the adults on here. Blaming everyone around our town for individuals actions. If we are pointing fingers who can we blame for your ignorant remarks and beliefs? Bolingbrook? One event does not make them skums, or whatever the negative comments were posted on her. They haven't been in trouble other then this and I'm sure they will never get in any trouble again. People learn from mistakes.

BHS suks, nothing but bangers and trash.

It's not a simple teenager letting off steam charge, it's a Criminal Damage to Property – Class 4 Felony

The charge you face will be a Class 4 felony if the damage is more than $300 but less than $10,000, or if the damage is committed against a school, place of worship, or to farm equipment and is valued at less than $300. A Class 4 felony can carry up to 1 to 3 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.

Lock them up... They'll learn...

They will get no jail! The lenient judge will give them probation, fines and pay for the damages! Just look how Judges of late are only giving out sentences for murder! 20,25,30 years! You murder someone life w/o parole!

These three YOUNG adults are solely responsible for their actions. THEY chose to commit the crimes and THEY alone should be held accountable. It does take a village to raise a child, but once that child becomes an adult it is their sole responsibility to make their choices and deal with their consequences.
I am a firm believer that although environment does have some weight on a persons psyche, ultimately it is the person who chooses their actions. All this nonsense about "he's a good kid, he's only acting the only way he knows how" is garbage. PEOPLE make their choices. (unless of course extenuating circumstances prevailed (fear for loss of life or other injury)).
Plain and simple, these three messed up and now have to pay for their crimes.

That's right Jesus and there's no one here that could handle me!

More comments including vulgar language and implication of harm to others have been removed. Please keep your conversation appropriate. Thank you to the many of you who have!

See Luis and Jesus! Stop with the threats!

John you need some fresh air, a break from ignorant comments. We get it. They did a bad act. Log off

I go to BHS. How dare any of you say that BHS is a "breeding ground for criminals." When you're speaking like that, no wonder you have the time to sit behind your computer and attack the public for 3 teenagers. Teenagers are who they are. They're going to make mistakes. They're going to do some pretty stupid stuff. But before you go judging them, how about you straighten your own act up? There's no need to be rude. Stuff happens. You also don't know if they have a messed up past that made them act out. You don't know their life & the psychological things that came about from that. So everyone calm down & try to make Bolingbrook a better place rather than focusing on the problems & trying to find someone to blame.

solo-bino.........I work with them, cat gift, the patotas and the biber are good people just looking for dibertirse like you and I and I think that you sometimes commit Follies awevoooo

You so-called adults who blame the school system are ridiculous. Grow up. That's all I have to say.

The teens involved are considered adults. Most of you are saying that its not the parents fault. Sure, it wouldn't be if the kids were not raised by the parents. These kids may be intelligent, but they were pretty stupid to think they could get away with this. And if they had gotten away with it, what do you think would happen next? Crminals only escalate in their crimes. I further agree that corporal punishment should be instilled in every child's life. As youngsters, we were taught to fear punishment, these days punishment seems to be slap on the wrist and don't do it again. But they will. And again and again. As for everyone complaining about name calling, maybe that's what they need, a little public humiliation to embarrass them. Then maybe they'd get the message. It worked on us. If we were bad in the store, we would get a spanking right then and there. It was never considered abuse. It was viewed as humility. And we didn't do it again. Now since we can't spank our kids, they don't know humility and embarrassment, so they push our buttons over and over until they get caught by the law and then expect us to pick up the pieces.

And, teens commenting here, please exercise that education you received and learn how to spell!

The ones charged with the crime are adults.....Their parents should not be responsible for their actions......It is not a crime to not teach your children right from wrong...as far as BHS goes.....just so happens they went there. I had all 4 of my kids go their. 3 have graduated from college and the last will graduate next year. When you ask them about BHS....they say they are successful DISPITE their schooling....They could not wait to get out of there......If i could have moved to another district...i would have in a heart beat.....come walk the halls just one day during passing period...better yet...attend a football game and watch all the lovely students act like animals....

bang bang

Swerve.

I should write a book now. Thanks john.

A book about what? You and your friends? Dumb and dumber!!

Luis I can meet you Lot S Somerset and give you an attitude adjustment or in Devonshire!

Actually no they do not have ALL A's. And although a jungle is not the best word to describe it, maybe something uglier is. Just because you are part of the pool that is being observed does not mean you necessarily know it. I too graduated from BHS (unfortunately) because I did not have an option. I attended a much better standing high school in Chicago but because of distance issues was forced to transfer to Bolingbrook High. YES test scores and behavior correlate, it has been proven statistically. And the fact that you know these kids on a personal level does not label or perceive them as being something different than others do. Factors such as age, gender, location amongst PLENTY others all affect and alter every person's perception on any given issue. A 50 year old parent will never view anything in the way that you do because your lack of knowledge and poor arguments will never stand a chance against the experience of a wise and much more mature adult. I am a teenager as well and I've made mistakes; I ultimately believe that these "kids" for lack of a better word should be forced to pay for their mistakes. Yes they committed a crime but I refuse to label them as criminals because who has not at some point in their life done anything that may be considered a crime? I am not justifying them at all, I just think that half of the teenagers making opinions on here are only doing so because they know them..makes your arguments weak and biased.

What up Bolingbrook people! I for one am friends with one of these kids. Ill have you know that he was beaten by his mother, and father, he ran away and was homeless for a little while. Ill have you know though he then got his own job, own car, and also is going to collage. We all screw up sometimes, hell I can see a bunch of screw ups on here. The important thing is to mind the fact that you are perfectly capable of doing what these kids did, and instead of being extremely ignorant of many many things, lets just remember how would you feel if you were someone like my friend. Now get over your self's, and get back to living your unfulfilling lives.

i think its sad how the teenagers make more sense than the adults on this. this whole website is a joke. if you think bolingbrook sucks, if you have a problem with the city or the school, then don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya (: this website is just like another Facebook. where more drama can be started, its really annoying. i hate to see how many "mature adults" there are on this thing. ha that's a joke. how can you start a big fuss over a few kids making a mistake. you've done many stupid things before. or oh yeah, i forgot all you adults are perfect. no you aren't, so stop acting like it. i just graduated with Luis & victor. they are two very nice guys, if you stopped judging them for their mistakes you would know that also. wasn't the city just complaining how the news in bolingbrook spreads to fast & shouldn't be put on blast? this website is kind of ruining that, don't you think? lol like i said; a big joke. i think this website should be deleted because all the adults on here are immature people who have nothing better to do than sit at a computer & argue with other people. pointless. so how about you go outside to enjoy the nice weather & stay out of other peoples lives?

& also don't blame the school. the school has nothing to do with it. you sound dumb
