The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

If you have not heard about "fire in the hole" then let me explain it to you. This is an Internet fueled prank that teens are engaging in. Police are looking for the culprits in Westmoreland County Pennsylvania.

Basically this is a done via drive-through's at Subway, Wendy's, and other fast food chains. The teen orders their food, then when they proceed to the take-out window they throw a drink, sometimes laced with hot pepper, and throw the drink into the unsuspecting employee yelling "fire in the hole!"

Police in Westmoreland County say they're still looking for the people responsible for an Internet-fueled prank known as "fire in the hole."

Police say two more incidents have occurred, both at the Taco Bell in Norwin Hills shopping plaza, since a drive-through worker at a nearby Subway restaurant was targeted on July 31st.

The prank involves people who throw drinks at clerks who work at the drive-through windows, and yell "fire in the hole." Police say the pranks are usually recorded on camera phones or other devices and uploaded onto video-sharing sites like YouTube.

Police in North Huntingdon Township have not charged anyone in the attacks at this point.

More "fire-in-the-hole" attacks have been reported in North Huntingdon, police said.

The latest incident happened Tuesday at the drive-through of a Taco Bell in the Norwin Hills shopping center, according to police.

Police said there is video footage that shows a teenager ordering a soda, taking it from the fast-food worker, yelling "fire in the hole" and throwing it back in her face.

It is completely reprehensible that YouTube has no morals and standards by hosting such sick videos. Furthermore, our youth has become more depraved as time goes on because of not only what they are exposed to, but what parents are not doing - parenting their child - not in all cases, but many.

Though I am sure there are many good families and parents that do their best for their children - the sub-culture of corrupted youth is a huge influence on our children. This is not just your average one time prank.

As a matter of fact, this so-called prank is not funny in the least and has caused countless embarrassment and discomfort to the victims. What sort of mindset affords one to even think for one minute that this prank is funny?

I must say that I am finding less good in our youth and much wrong with the parents of many that have given up, because our society promotes immorality and living for the moment.

This is a no win situation for our young children, teens, and adults. It is time adults send a strong message that this not only will not be tolerated any longer, but that severe punishment will befall those that have no respect for the rule of the law.

This behavior is akin to lawlessness. It must be confronted and stopped. Contact your local youth groups and police departments and ask what you can do within your own community to reach out to the youth.

Not all parents have given up, but enough have or have not parented that we can see such a decline in teen behavior to the point it is merciless.

When a nation loses its youth to immorality - a nation falls - as is the U.S. slowly falling. These are sad days and we must all step up to the plate to help save our youth and our nation.
