If this had happened here (Charlotte, NC), the perps would get off with a stern warning from the court in time for Thanksgiving. No jail time, no suspension from school. We don't want to waste prosecutors’ time until it's something serious like a multiple homicide.

Same with hiking, guns love to hike.
