People Who Smash Jack-o-Lanterns are the Lowest of the Low
OK maybe not as low as pedophiles or anything, but people who smash jack-o-lanterns are some of the lowest forms of life. I don't care if they are just kids "having fun". Haven't their parents taught them any manners??!
So to the person who smashed the jack-o-lantern sitting on our porch -- the first jack-o-lantern that Little Guy had ever carved from the first pumpkin that he had ever picked out from the pumpkin patch himself, just know that you haven't spoiled the joy of Halloween for us. Even if he does come home every day and ask me "Mommy, where is the jack-o-lantern. It smashed?" and it makes me want to rip my heart out.
Even still, you haven't spoiled the holiday. Not by a long shot. Not for this cowboy.

He is just too cute. TOO CUTE!
Wht would anyone derive pleasure out of doing something like that?
Jerks.
Little Guy is adorable.
He is adorable! You know, my friends used to smash pumpkins in high school. Of course, I was never a part of such tomfoolery, ahem. They had a rule, however, no pumpkins that were little or that were carved so as to not upset any little ones. Sounds like the hooligans in your neighborhood do not know the pumpkin smashing rules! Glad your little guy had a good time despite this -- giddyup!
what jerks :^( I deputize your little guy and authorize him to shoot guilty parties.
not fair. not fair at all.
(now I will slink away because I smashed pumpkins as a bratty high schooler)
He is a cutie pie though.
I thought that was part of Halloween. Just kidding.
It is really sad to see a smashed pumpkin.
He's just precious. :)
And pfffbbbbttt to people who smash pumpkins.
Someone smashed our planter in the middle of the street.

Using My Words
That sucks. Really sucks. Poor little guy. I never understood the joy in destroying something like that, be it smashing pumpkins or egging cars or smashing windows.
When I was about 6 or 7 I carved a pumpkin with my dad (a rare thing for him to do - he wasn't real hands on) and we made a scarecrow, using the pumpkin for the head. I retrieved my much-loved cowboy hat from the toybox and put it on the pumpkin head. Of course, some assholes in the neighbourhood decided not only to smash the pumpkin but to rip the scarecrow limb from limb and tear my cowboy hat to shreds.
I still get pissed about it, 30-some years later.
Awww, cute little cowboy...Why did someone have to do that?
I cannot STAND pumpkin smashers. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. Poor little guy...I just want to squeeze him.
Little bastards.
I agree with Lawyer Mama above :)
However, little guy oh my WORD he is a doll, he is a DOLL!!!
He is dripping with cuteness.
Awe! That's just wrong!
DH has insisted we keep our jack-o-lanterns inside (in a window) for the past 2 yrs because of the same thing.
Pumpkin smashers are on my s**t list right up there with mailbox smashers. What is the point? It makes me sad to see poor pumpkins smashed all over the road.
Your little dude is adorable!!
OH MY GOSH HE IS SO INCREDIBLY, IRRESISTIBLY, UNDENIABLY C*U*T*E*
!!!
HOW DO YOU CONTAIN YOURSELF?!?!
