Disrespectful people

This morning after a night out; celebrating my friend's birthday, I came downstairs, and happened to look into the common room...now for all of you who havent been to where I live yet, the common room is a room with a friend's pool table in it, its a mini one, and we have a lot of fun playing on it. It also has lots of granny chairs, which are not very comfortable, but at least one is. We love chilling out in this room. And as I walked in, my eyes searched around the room, and no pool table. Yeah, I thought, maybe they've been super-organised and moved it because of the party we're going to have tonight in there. But then a sinking feeling came upon me, where was the pool table? I searched around the room again, and spied a handful of sawdust on the floor. I thought, thats not right...where could it be? I went into the kitchen to find one of my fellow housemates who happen to have a room near the common room. They told me that they had found the pool table earlier on this morning in a state of disrepair. They said that it had been broken in two, and the legs were splayed everywhere, with a nasty note on the floor and the chairs were heaped into an unruly pile in one corner. Now, we thought who would be so disrespectful in this house, we all use that room and we all love playing on the pool table. But then I remembered last night there were a lot of one person's (who I wont mention) 'friends' from the uni and from his home too. And they were making a lot of noise and generally being disruptive, matress surfing down the stairs, and using the punch bag that we have, and making a lot of noise. I'm not one to judge or point the finger, but there's clear evidence that it was these group of people. I just feel so annoyed that it happened to a really nice guy, who's going through a bit of a tough time at the moment, and nearly wasn't coming back to uni. He's not a person to give up. He's strong, but this has so not been on. He doesn't deserve this. He said this was one of the reasons that he didnt want to come back. Its such a shame that people have such a disrespect for other people's property. And yeah, they might have been drunk,but still, you know not to smash things to pieces, and then be coherent enough in mind to write a nasty note, and deface one of our fridges with a similar disregard. We're supposed to be having a party tonight, but a lot of people have said that they dont want to go anymore, because of this and what might happen. Its clearly war now. Its gone too far.
