Since Cincinnatus' car was not egged nor his apartment, his previous statement which has since been erased and re-written by Drock should not be considered as a reflection of the views of the group directly affected by the action, namely apartment 36. As the Elite8, he is right, we will not retaliate as a group. I do not speak for #36, but for my part, I hope/expect that the perpretators will come forward and make appropriate restitution, be it voluntarily or obligatorily.
I applaud his loyalty and concern. I only state that the "we" as stated in the now disappeared post does not include me.

i contest.
inviting people to confess voluntarily, or "encouraging" them to confess by way of obligation will not bring about a real change of heart or a commitment to a reform of behavior.
let the perpetrators be privately pricked in their own hearts
I feel like this post was unnecessary. Let mercy rob justice, better than justice robbing mercy.
My hopes and expectations that the perpretator repent are not malicious. For them to go on thinking that practices like these are acceptable is detrimental not only to themselves but to their poor children who will have parents that feel like they should be allowed to just get away with whatever it is they want. No parent who gives their children license to do whatever they want without encouraging them to change will be held unaccountable. True, justice is not ours to impose, but we do no favors to anyone when we say, "act however you want, and we won't do anything about it. We won't even hope that you change your ways." Concerned citizens need to take a stand out of love for the group and the individual.
