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.
