> Everyone knows that these (whether they be called "works bombs" or "Drano bombs") are illegal and you'll get in trouble if caught. I have addressed this already. > And even though you say they're harmless, many other sources disagree - people can get injured. Even if we accept that what she did was horrifically dangerous, that does not mean a felony charge is in order. > those things happened in the dorms all the time. Kids passing basketballs around and hit a sprinkler, or kids goofing around and crunching up some drywall You don't think that an apparent intentional act of vandalism is going to attract more attention than standard accidental damage? > the questioning centered on causing damage with the "explosives". I think you are either full of shit or simply mistaken, but even if you are neither that does nothing to say that the treatment of this girl is reasonable.

I have addressed this already. Yet you still seem to be shocked that she is being punished. Your previous posts equate this to just 'kids bring kids'. Even if we accept that what she did was horrifically dangerous, that does not mean a felony charge is in order. I have never once, in all my replies, said this deserves a felony. I have defended the zero tolerance policies in schools but I don't think an expulsion is the same as being a felon. This might deserve a misdemeanor with a fair amount of community service. She should do it at a vet home to see the consequences of real explosives and why they aren't to be played with. You don't think that an apparent intentional act of vandalism is going to attract more attention than standard accidental damage? I think you are either full of shit or simply mistaken I tell a personal anecdote and I'm either lying or mistaken? You are just being obtuse for the sake of being obtuse. You couldn't possibly imagine that there were overzealous campus police when you are commenting on a story where we are obviously seeing overzealous prosecution? What a double standard.
