FYI. I know this kid, and other family members know his mother really well. The father is a POS, no matter what you're seeing on the news. The kid was good at one time, but has gone bad due to the mother/father relationship going bad over the last few years. The kid has become a bully in many other situations, and has bullied my son in the past. Read the details of the police reports and other documents if they are available online, it doesn't appear to be an "accident" with the air soft gun.

I do believe the DA's are going overboard on this though, and the father figure here isn't helping the situation out at all.

I'm waiting to see Peter Boyles (sp) go out to the county courthouse with toy guns and simulated weapons, I doubt the law will find any humor in the event.
