What the author is describing are felonies. I don't think most kids around the country are out doing things this extreme, or it would have made the news.

Smoking pot and shooting out the occasional window in a house under construction with a BB gun, hell yes there are kids all over the place doing that.

I remember how 'jenkem' got thrown all over the news (which maybe like 3 people in the US tried, ever), and if kids were weaving around freeways blackout and shooting pedestrians with airsoft guns on any sort of an appreciable scale, I think we would have read about it in the news by now.

I think this kid just grew up in a poorly-supervised household around some really sketchy kids. Glad to see he's doing better, and I hope he finally apologized to Seth. Notice there isn't a shred of remorse in his description of locking his buddy in a room and giving him possibly severe burns.
