[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not new this happened with SRO’s in the school. This happened in the 2000’s, the 90’s, the 80’s, the 70’s… this is not new.

This is not a police matter

I agree the victim should not go to school with these kids.

If it’s a police matter, they get charged with simple assault, misdemeanor … no punishment and are in school next day.

I'd agree that this isn't new (I was robbed in high school although it was less traumatic than this sounds), but if you both assault someone and steal something, that's a charge of robbery and it's a felony. I'm fine with the police being involved with that. I don't think it's a sign of crisis, but it's a serious charge. [/quote]

Theft of used shoes is literally theft of &lt;$50. No it’s not a felony FFS!

It’s neither serious nor trauma but it does require discipline.[/quote]

There's a difference between theft and robbery. If you take something that belongs to someone else, that's theft. If you take something by force or threat of force, that's robbery, and it's a felony regardless of value. If the kid was assaulted (force) by a part of a group, while other people in the group took his shoes, that's robbery (and a felony) even if all they took a nickel from his pocket. [/quote]

If you want to be picky about law.

Assault is the threat of violence, battery is the actual violence. Go back to google and clean up your post.

No matter which words you use this is not a felony. [/quote]
