Sheriff searching for 3 suspects who vandalized Park View High School in Sterling, Va. | WJLA.com
I graduated from Park View many years back and I remember when it was hit with spray paint back then. I hated it then as much as I do now. Words really can't describe what a bad idea it is to do something like that.
