And a few days ago I finished reading The Station’s Late Nite Princess, and started in on Frills, both of which are among my favorites.

In Frills, there is a scene where the main character’s home is toilet papered, the cars covered in shaving cream, and the house egged, by a group of high school students for the 28th time inside of a year. What made this stand out was the news story I saw this evening about a high school teacher in Georgia who was killed Friday night by a group of five teens while they toilet papered his home.

Apparently, Jason Hughes, a popular teacher, came outside when he realized what was going on. The five teens attempted to flee the scene of the prank, when Hughes exited the house. Supposedly Hughes tripped and fell into the street, where one of the teens attempting to leave the scene in his pickup truck hit him, running him over. The teens stopped and attempted to help Hughes. Hughes died at the hospital from the injuries he sustained.

The driver has been charged with vehicular homicide - the other four teens with criminal trespass and littering.

Hughes leaves a wife and two children behind, as well as a grieving community. All over the stupidity of a group of teens. Too bad they be prosecuted for criminal stupidity.

It is my understanding that a go-fund-me site has been set up for the family. See below if you are interested in helping.
