Excuse me.
He had the right to a free carton of milk, he went to take it rapidly without waiting in line because otherwise he wouldn't have time to eat, which makes perfect sense, and people are mad about this?[/quote]

He still needs to check out with the cashier like everyone else, just like he does for his lunch. Not everyone in that line gets free meals, so he needs to have this processed by the cashier, even if he won't have to pay anything.

Just like if you have a get 1 free coupon at the grocery store. You still need to hand it to the cashier, not just grab an item and walk out the door.

But if you are in a cafeteria style restaurant and you pay for a meal that includes a cookie, and you forget to get your cookie, do you have to go to the end of the line? And have the cashier check you out, again?  i don't think so.  I wouldn't. [/quote]

If someone accused you of stealing, as you walked away with your cookie, would you explain?  As an adult, you would handle the situation.

As a child, this teen didn't explain, he fought back, refused to explain, apologize, etc.  Unfortunately, the adults in the situation (the principal, the police officer, his mother) could not convince him and each other to behave like adults, and they all escalated things.  [/quote]
