Prior to attending mass on Sunday, Sept. 13 at St. Margaret of Cortona Roman Catholic Church in Little Ferry, N.J., Father Kevin Carter took an eight-year-old kid to a rectory room, made him stand against the wall and pointed what NBC New York reports is calling a "working Civil War-style musket" at the child. Where is this even coming from? It may have something to do with the kid being a Cowboys fan.

Father Kevin Carter has been charged with aggravated assault by pointing a firearm and endangering the welfare of a child. His bail is set at $15,000 and understandably so, he has been ordered to not get into contact with the kid.
