This guy is obviously arrogant, has shown no remorse for his actions, to his parents or neighbours in the street whose property was damaged, only interested in getting another media/television/radio deal in light of his new-found "status".
The full force of Victorian Law should be shown to this hoon, he should be made to pay for the Victorian Police time in attending to this hoons party, whereby the police could have been attending other matters in order to prevent crime.
Do we excuse a sixteen year old for going off his head because he was drunk and decided he was going to be the "man" for a night - no we shouldn't.
All children/youth know right from wrong....Cory is no different. I do not believe Cory got to the age of sixteen and doesn't know right from wrong - Unless he lived under a rock his entire life.
His behaviour was totally unacceptable to most human beings and parents on this planet.
Newspaper reports stated it took him several days to apologize to his parents. He should have shown balls and called his parents the next day and not wait for media etc to get in contact with the parents.
Maybe there is another underlying story here - being the parents.
We are all a product of our upbringing, our parents teach us responsibility, respect for humanity and our fellow human beings, it teaches bonding, life values and consequences of actions.
I guess I am old-fashioned as some of the above values seem to be missing in Cory's life or he wouldn't have invited the world to his party and not have been aware of the consequences.
I have had the opportunity to speak to many youths since this issue was raised - without exception - they have stated, the guy's a loser and should be taught a lesson he won't forget in a hurry - their words not mine.
