    A magistrate has ordered a home detention report and will decide next week if the 18-year-old is to be released on bail.

      I hate 18-year-olds being called teenagers. They’re not. They’re adults. Calling them teens is, as far as I’m concerned, a porno thing because it makes it seem more risqué.

        Say the number 18 out loud to yourself with emphasis on the last syllable and realize how stupid you sound

          In the US 18 is legally adult and you can serve in the military. To me that’s a grown up and not a teen ager and I don’t care about the syllable.

            And yet they can’t drink at 18. They can volunteer for death in another country that doesn’t want them there but they can’t play goon of fortune.

    If this guy strung wire over the path after the first incident (innocent until proven guilty etc), it’s completely indefensible. I can almost but not really forgive the first time as a prank that got out of hand with no intent to really hurt people, because he’s a thoughtless idiot. But if he did it after knowing it nearly killed a bunch of people earlier this week, then we’re into attempted murder territory.
