Two nights of violent behavior disrupted the Kentucky Derby Festival's signature Fest-A-Ville event on the Louisville waterfront. Per usual, it's "the teens." Some spineless leaders always make excuses for criminal behavior as though it's the city's fault for not providing enough entertainment.

Now the Fest-A-Ville must operate on reduced hours so that "the teens" limit their mayhem.

The real truth is that terrible parents allow their terrible offspring to roam around the city bullying, assaulting, and attempting to murder others as though there are no laws.

Stop making excuses for criminals at any age. They know they're committing crimes. Step up and take charge of the city so that taxpayers may peacefully enjoy the community that they fund for all citizens (whether or not they're contributors or just leeches living off the rest of us).

After all that, the Beasman loves to hear about Loserville's troubles and doesn't mind amplifying them to his sad Big Blue Nation.
