Of course, the only thing to fear is fear itself ... no need to get paranoid ...

"misdemeanor reckless endangerment" ???
That's it? How about attempted murder? Attempted Manslaughter?
This is a disgusting act.

I just read in Sunday's Salt Lake Tribune, that one of the men was recently sentenced to 30 days in jail and 18 months of probation and the other got 20 days in jail and 1 year of probation.

Sounds like the Canadian justice system.
