I have officially lost faith in the entire USA.
Kids are harassing an 11 year-old girl playing with her 6 year-old brother, throwing water balloons at her. She retaliates by throwing a rock at one of the boys. She is subsequently charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Way to go, guys.
This pisses me off because, first, it's a total over-reaction. The authorities never needed to be called in - it could have been handled between the parents. Second, even though the girl says she's been harassed by these boys before and (I assume) did this because she's fed up, she's being punished. She did go too far, but I say good for her for sticking up for herself.
gunsrocks. Koko - maybe they were aiming for that skeeter.
