It was only a matter of minutes after our first story about the vandalism of

the Monroe High School library was posted to this Web site before readers began commenting about it.

The readers, seemingly students, were pointing a finger at the senior class. It was labeled as a sort of prank goes awry.

Obviously, this wasn't the work of the entire senior class. It would be completely unfair to let this act tarnish the class and its graduates as a whole.

And, obviously, it wasn't a prank. It was a crime.

Clearly, the students and others seem to know who did this. It's an interesting

and helpful tool, perhaps, to have people able to essentially give tips to this site through their comments.

People can't name names on this site. I wouldn't allow it, because there would

be no way to be able to prove a person's or persons' guilt, and the newspaper and its Web site is not a law enforcement or judicial entity.

But general comments or tips are at least interesting and may even aid in

uncovering who perpetrated this crime. So keep the comments coming.
