but... smoking at school is not allowed so it doesn't really matter how you describe it. Oh... unless maybe you were just conducting an experiment... then it would be ok... I guess?
- jlgreco 14y agoWell then in that case lets arrest all of those delinquent smokers for attempted arson. The issue here is proportionality of response (and, local to this particular thread, the use of absurdly loaded language to exaggerate the nature of an offense in order to justify disproportionate responses).
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoAgain... there does not have to be an "all or nothing" situation. There is punishment less than felony conviction. I don't believe this girl is a felon and I don't believe she should go on without consequence.
- fancyketchup 14y agoWhat do you think would be an appropriate punishment?
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoI'd go with detention. Maybe something creative like 2 weeks cleaning up the science lab after school.
