WCHS - A wild night, that police say caused thousands of dollars in damage to a hotel but it wasn't the destruction that landed the guys in jail. The suspects actually left police plenty of clues, while police say they were tearing stuff up, they were tweeting about it, but the tweets didn't stop after their arrests. Police say a group of about 10 guys caused nearly $14,000 damage to the Wingate Hotel in South Charleston. And police say they spelled out exactly what they were doing in the room on twitter, talking about smashing a TV and stabbing a couch, they even posted pictures of themselves peeing in the hotel's safe, destroying the mirror and leaving the room in shambles.
No offense, but does anyone actually use the safe for anything but peeing in? Maybe it's because I don't have anything worth stealing, but I've never checked into a hotel and thought about using the safe for anything but a back up toilet.. So I'm with these guys on that one. At the end of the day unless you're Billy Zane in the Titanic locking away gigantic purple diamonds, the hotel safe is nothing more than an extra recepticle for miscellaneous use.
And I feel like Twitter is getting a bid of a bad rap today, first Flash Mob Robberies, now live blogging of hotel trashings, so lets clear one thing up. These guys were retarded for putting all this on Twitter, but police can cut the shit about how Twitter was necessary to catch them. First thing you do when you check into a Hotel is leave a credit card on file. Bottom line is these kids were going to get caught no matter what, at least Twitter allowed us all to enjoy their mayhem and destruction. Made me feel like I was there at least...you know with out the felony destruction of property charge added on.
