"The parents?"
You've got to wonder...
When I was that age, I did shoot a window with a BB gun and that didn't make my parents bad parents - it was my fault. But they defininately taught me not to threaten to kill people.
Have we at last become such a nation of paranoid fools that we cant make a distinction between the next Lee Harvey Oswald and a moody little boy?
Bet you were disciplined, too. If you were caught.
One thing to do something stupid and be punished and another to do something stupid and not be punished or worse encouraged.
