1st post- Brian Holloway's home destroyed
Brian Holloway is a former New England Patriot Lineman. Holloway was away in Florida but his vacant home in Stephentown, NY was trashed and vandalized by a group of 300 teens over this labor day weekend. His home sustained over $20,000 worth of damage and no one to put the blame on. So what Holloway did was genius. He created his own website called, helpmesave300.com. Holloway's purpose of the website was not to get teens in trouble or to turn them into the police but to help them save themselves from lives of drugs and alcohol. This website included pictures of his damaged property, his biography, an explanation of what Stephentown meant to him, and pictures of teens on twitter which he could identify the background as his house. In Holloway's biography he talked about how some of his friends and teammates from the NFL had faced alcohol and drug problems and died because of them. He put the pictures up from twitter to show the teens that they are not "cool" because they get drunk and post about it via social media but how naive they are to think that alcohol cannot ruin their life. I agree with the purpose of Holloway's website 100%. His property was destroyed while he was away. The place that he called home was vandalized by teens which he had never met. Holloway gave them a taste of reality when he explained how he had buried several of his friends due to alcohol abuse and I do not think most of those 300 kids will be going to any parties anytime soon
