"Brereton said she was eager to speak with the boy's mother Monday, to tell her she loves her and holds no malice. And that she doesn't want charges filed.
"He's just a boy, he didn't mean to do it," she said. "I hope this incident shows him that he needs to turn around. But he's come a long way since Kat came into his life. She loved him because he wasn't perfect. She didn't hang out with the perfect people. Her friends were the people who needed friends. She believed in this young man. I believe in this young man."
Here is an interesting follow up article:

And he had another gun is his room. I see the family will ask for leniency, I bet the police will charge this kid and the courts will deal with it. This kid apparently has been around guns and shouldn't have treated them as a toy or used them in a joke. It's all fun and games until someone gets killed. Whoops, I didn't know it was loaded is no excuse. I have a big problem with someone pointing a gun at a head of someone else. It's never a joke.

That follow up article seems to imply that the kid was a slightly troubled kid. It is hard to say what "troubled" means in Provo versus what it would mean in Compton but it sounds like the kid may have had a pattern of irresponsibility.

Disc, it seems like you are a little shocked that something like this could have happened in the neighborhood. Sorry if I seem a little harsh when it comes to negligence, it's just the way I am.

No, not at all.
I actually stopped being friends with my next door neighbor growing up for pointing an unload rifle at me and dry firing after I asked him not to do it. I asked him not to point it at me, and he promised me it wasn't loaded. I promised him I didn't care. He dry fired and I realized that I didn't need a friend like that. We still hung out in a group setting after that, but I don't think I ever went back to his house after that (maybe once).
That guy who did that was a super good guy. I know that awesome people do dumb things (my wife will tell you that I'm the king of doing stupid things :) ) so I am not at all surprised that this could happen to the best of people. I really don't think it was one bit malicious and my heart goes out to everyone in this situation.

Just wondering when "it's never a joke" is really just a joke, or is it really "never a joke?"

Next year they'll have these cameras mounted on the computers called "web cams". It sounds strange, but I have a feeling that there will be a few people that buy them.

So are you two trying to say its OK to pretend to point a gun at someones head but if you actually point it a someones head its "never a joke".
