[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sweet Jesus. brain studies have said kids are SO stupid until about age 25, but we expect the MOST of them at this time in their lives.  There is a difference between physceally assaulting someone and a quick, dashed off dumb ass prank.  Did these two kids have a history of bullying?  Did they do harm throughout HS?  Was this the final straw?  Whatever, we will never know.  I hope the punishment fits the crime and the arrival of CAIR just makes me laugh. They have NO validity with me. None.[/quote]

Meanwhile we're actually incarcerating a ton of youth for things that are frankly less problematic than what really adds up to a hate crime. We incarcerate them for smoking a joint or stealing something from a store, or snatching someone's phone out of their hands. Those, too, are "dumb things". Why should we be more forgiving  here. In fact we are; expulsion is clearly less problematic that being booked for something.[/quote]
Uh no. What kid in DC has been incarcerated for smoking a joint? Unless they were serial harrassing this kid this was a prank. I went to a school where the entire senior class was punished, not expelled, for a dumb property crime prank. The fact that they happen so often, generation after generation, probably mean that pranks are part of adolescent development. Was it wrong? Yes. Firing squad offense? Not enough info.[/quote]
