Some teenagers, unfortunately, are so stupid that they ought to go to jail on the first offense.
Howard County police say someone has been firing a BB or pellet gun at kids waiting for a school bus in Columbia.It's happened the past two mornings at the same bus stop. Police believe the culprit is a teenager.
Two children were grazed by pellets. Their injuries weren't serious.
But in addition to that, this is really a case where parental instincts should be tolerated, if not expected. If a parent of a child at that bus stop were to somehow catch a teenager in the act of doing this, and proceeded to kick the living crap out of that teenager, well, it doesn't seem to me to be something that society ought to greatly surprised about.
