That's a bit much, no doubt, but that's the loveliness of our legal system.

Someone already mentioned earlier, why does the kid get a pass because he was stepping onto a football field? If it were in any other setting how would you feel about the charges being filed? The kid was being a bully and pushed too far, now he might be ****ed. I really have no sympathy for bullies.
