So yes, he was actually arrested. No, no charges were filed, but that's not the same as not being arrested. Sanctions from the school is one thing, but the /police/ thinking this was worth an arrest? That's just silly. While many things are subjective, hopefully most folks can agree that a police arrest in this case was unnecessary.
I can agree. In most cases that's the case. I think leveler heads might ask for police intervention - just to investigate the actual risk. Frankly, I think the school over reacted and its punishment was cruel. Don't think for a second that this incident isn't going to follow this kid for the rest of his life. But, the ignorant feel safer so, so be it. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
