"I'm not so sure anyone should be charged."

Why not? There were several people involved that apparently had the intelligence of roadkill. An 8-yr-old kid has had the top of his head blown off for no good reason. His father may have another kid or two he can kill off creatively, who knows?

"Gee, I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it.

There are people so stupid that they would do the same thing all over again! If nothing else, a court case may make other dolts who have the same idea realize that it may not be a good idea.

Maybe.
