Silly judgemental imbeciles, makes me laugh. You don’t know a single thing. Hiding behind your computer screen. Really got something to say, why not message that person on facebook or better yet to their face. I’m sure he’d be more then happy to put you in your place. Mentally of course, as he has no record of any physical crimes, for the aggravated assault charge is false. Haha consider knowing something before posting your personalized coward message. Buddy, WTH, Anonymous, LVS, Tom N…

yea they are running around town bragging that nothing is going to happen. the only thing that has happened so far is that they can not be in sports for 365 days but they are still allowed to go to school. what about this summer when they are bored what will they come up with next to do for fun? they should be in a detention center till they are 18.

Why are these kids not in jail. I can’t believe they are still out running the streets!!!!!

If it was my kid that got hurt I would beat all four of them and thier dumbass parents! Little F**kers should be charged with terrorizm!

Poor Nick at night. He must live in a barrel with the bung hole closed.

Maybe Nick is pointing out the fact that a lot of kids call these IED’s these days and don’t reference a show that went off the air 20 years ago (before the perpetrators we born).

Just maybe……… You are a complete idiot. Lol An IED?! You obviously do not know what an IED is. I’ve held multiple Macgyver “bombs” in my hands while they have expanded and popped. Right After I walked right inside and washed my hands….Pretty sure if I had an IED in my hand and it exploded, I would be dead.

what is a macguyver bomb? did someone named macguyver make it? is macguyver one of the components of such a bomb? why isn’t macguyver in jail or illegal? this story is so confusing.
