The kid was already suspended in October.

Which means the order that is going on right now is...

- Warning from Teacher

- Sent to the principal

- 3-day Suspension <--- Happened in October

- Police + 10-day Suspension

- Expulsion

Which frankly, doesn't sound that "unjust" to me at all.



Police scaring the kid sounds fine, but a felony? Using a well-known password in a place with terrible security to do a mostly harmless prank results in a felony? That isn't justice.


"He'll likely be granted pretrial intervention by a judge, sheriff's detective Anthony Bossone said."

They aren't planning to put the felony on his record. They're gonna drop it pre-trial.

Wasn't the EFF's entire press release about pointing out the fallacy of the phrase you just uttered?

"Even though some might say this is just a teenage prank, who knows what this teenager might have done..."

"Even though some might say this is just a Police disciplinary scare tactic... who knows what this Police Officer could have done..."
