eeeediots..

Wowzers! There are some proud parents in PG today... Idiots is right.

Sick. The actions of these young people is disgusting. I hope their parents are proud.
What possible kick could they get from watching rescuers waste their time, money resources and endanger their lives? Nothing funny about it, perverse if anything.

I'm all for search and rescue teams being available to everyone for what ever reason, and it being funded by taxpayers.

This reason however needs to be removed from the list of reasons. These two goofs, (not the girls)are a good reason some people shouldn't have children.

Hey Gordon Campbell!

Just think....you could enact a law in BC that would mirror your recent anti speeding or having a beer and driving scam.

Confiscating boats and fining these idiots that do crap like this would be another great source of tax income for your greedy Liberal gov't bank account.

You'll be sure to pay off the Olympic bill quicker than once thought.

Why not the girls?

Okay, probation condition reads
"You shall perform 200 hours community service with PG Search and Rescue."
BUT, will they want them???
I think you have to be intelligent to work there.

Sounds pretty simple to me,
confiscate the boat. When they put in the 200 hours they get the boat back.

Give good old Dad a chance to beat the crap out of the kid. and he wont do it again.

And leaving their vehicle parked in the launch? Totally thoughtless and inconsiderate, sort of like telling lies to people who get out of bed to come and rescue their ignorant asses from a situation that more intelligent people would probably not have caused in the first place.
They do not sound like winner material.
Their gene pool was too shallow.
metalman.

Hopefully the publicity will teach them a lesson.

give them a bill

I sure hope that they had their Pleasurecraft Operators card!!

Send them a bill, fine them, confiscate their boat and give them community service hours. I hope they also got a ticket for parking on the ramp.

Thanks to all the volunteers that are always ready to help out when needed!! You are appreciated.

I agree... have them pay for what it cost search and rescue, the RCMP, and the volunteer fire fighters that attended their drunken aventure. All these people left their personell evenings to assist in this preventable situation. They were silly enough to risk their necks and in doing so they risked the lives of all those that came to their aid. and the aid of an imaginary person missing in the accident. Be accountable for their actions no matter how stupid they were.

Cabinfever: There was nothing in the bulletin that even suggested they were drinking? Why would you fabricate anything like that?

Public floggings should make a come back. Shame some sense into them. Re: Not the girls, why not? If they knew about the call and didn't speak up, they were party to it.

They should have to pay the entire cost of the search and 'rescue', as well as face criminal mischief charges, have the boat confiscated and the 200 hours community service!!! What absolute idiots - both boys and girls.

Not the girls? Just thinking that they probably aren't the ones that thought up the idea and dared not saying anything against their boyfriends.
Just a feeling I have.

the young will just get worse ,ys just have to watch the tv and media to see how they are growing up.just wait.. for the next batch !!!

Just maybe, after the 200 hours sentence they could be told that they would be called at any time of the day or the night to go out and do two to six hours work at a time with no excuses for not reporting until the sentence was fulfilled. Perhaps they would realise what the volunteers willingly do. Thank you to the police, volunteer firefighters and search and rescue for the work you do. I don't think you recieve enough gratitude from us for your service. Then we have completely stupid idiots like these trying to take advantage of all the public services we do have. Maybe next time they will be out somewhere where they won't be able to call from, when they really need it. Then they can figure it out for themselves. It would look good on them.

Too bad these comments can't be read out in court so they could see what the public thinks of them.

Just when you think you've heard of everything- - - - -

cause the parents had anything to do with this? people need to find something better to do then sit on the internet judging people they dont even know.They may have been dumb to do this sort of thing but when your in situations like this you are scared of getting in trouble. Personally I think they all should be treated equally, none of this sexist crap. And who is anyone to judge the parents? It's not like they held their hands while they did this... they should have to complete what is reasonable for this "public mischief" charge.
