Young people throw firecrackers on homeless: shock before Christmas!

in Spielberg, Styria, there was an alarming incident shortly before Christmas that went out lightly. Around 9 p.m., three young people-two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old-decided to play a dangerous game and threw several firecrackers towards the tent of a 54-year-old homeless person. Fortunately, the woman was in the tent at the time of the crime, but was able to perceive the terrifying events before the young people fled with a car. The situation could have had catastrophic consequences, such as 5min.at reported.

The police were quickly on hand and was able to track down the three young men soon. In the presence of their legal guardians, they confessed, but supposedly did not know that the homeless person was in the tent. The young people now have to answer for property damage and attempted bodily harm. Such incidents throw a sobering light on the behavior of young people during sensitive times such as Christmas, where sympathy and humanity should actually be in the foreground.

freedom and responsibility

In the middle of the contemplative Christmas season, in which many people are given hope and joy of the heart, deeds like this are a sad contrast. While the Advent season is a time of reflection and giving for many, some young people seem to disregard the true value of this festive period. The reporting on such incidents should encourage us to think about the responsibility that we wear for each other, especially at a time that stands for charity and cohesion. The words of the poetry, inspired by Christmas time, often describe the light and joy that this festival brings with it, as becomes clear in the classic Christmas poems.
