Assume a 17 year old boy who is visiting is shooting at squirrels with a BB gun from the balcony of one of these apartments and is seen and reported.
Should he be charged with having a weapon in a school zone and put in jail?
What about the people who live there and have knives in their house?

All to often we wait too long and let kids like this fall into the wrong hands, and jail may not help him. Most serial killers have a history of abusing and killing small animals in their childhood. It could also be a sign that there is abuse in the home and this is his way of taking control. I would recommend counseling and a through home evaluation. When kids (he is still a kid) are put in jail or other juvenile facility instead of getting help, they get more ideas for when they get out. I don't know about if it is different in a school zone, but I firmly believe that he needs help now before he becomes the next Jeffery Dahmer or TBK.

The difference between the vice president of the USA and a 17 yr old boy shooting squirrels are very difference. Cheney may be shooting for food or for trophy. Either way he is an adult that has had training and is not putting innocents in danger. (Unless you are his lawyer.) I'm not saying that he should go to jail immediately, just find the reason why.

Cheney shoots small birds for fun, plus his lawyer, I don't see where shooting squirels is any worse.
