After reading the editorial on the shopping cart accident I was completely in shock that a 12 year-old boy would actually perform this horrible act! The worst part about the whole thing is he stated "I knew people was down there and somebody could have got hurt," at 12 years old don't you think you would develop some common sense? An editorial in Georgia wrote a reflection on what she thinks to have been a inappropriate act too "When 12-year-olds are dropping heavy objects on innocent passersby for sport . . . at least one of society's wheels is completely off the rails,". The housing that the boy stays at claims that he has "leadership potential" but I feel that is no reason why he should be released from any consequence he could of honestly killed the lady just because he wasn't thinking straight and wanted to be humorous... I agree with the court with putting him on punishment for up to 18 months for what he did. I don't think some of the people fully understand how serious the situation could of happened and the boy is very fortunate that the lady didn't die from his stupidity.
