    Careless my A$$ - These two should have been charged with a lot more than they did. There intent
    did not seem so "careless" to me. Attempted Murder sounds right to me.

    A couple of years ago a young "careless" guy, shot 2 cops dead. a few days later a a local
    politician was on TV & radio asking "where did we fail poor (name)" in her opinion the whole
    incident was John Q Public's fault.


    my apologizes, to Angel_kisses as this rant has nothing to do with you personally

    "We hope that they learn a lesson from this"

    I doubt it, the only thing they learned is how not to get caught next time.

    Those aren't "Kids".

    Why do we always dismiss or temper stupidity and disregard for others as an act of "kids"? I never did anything like this when I was a real kid, nor did any of my friends or acquaintances. Wouldn't have even thought of it. By the time one is 19 or 20, they have outgrown that excuse.

    No offense to Chaco Taco, I'm sure his intent wasn't to offer an excuse, but that is the way some look at it in our society. They aren't responsible, they are just young "kids". Baloney!

    This thread should be deleted or moved to an appropriate category... IF one even exist.

    No offense taken. 19 and 21 is still kid to me. Use your own classification.Technically yes, they are adults but have obviously had some serious developmental deficiency that would lead them to do something like this. The crap college kids pull is pretty awful but this is pretty bad. Reminds me of the stories of 19 E and the fish-hooks hangin from branches.

    You can't fix stupid. Glad the forest service Officer found the traps. This story could have ended much worse.
