A Effin' FELONY Though?

[sohoguy]

Once you're born black you already lost in life it seems smh....

Even though I agree that black people get treated unfair sometime by those few people, I feel like some of you NTers use it as an excuse for all your failures

If she was white there wouldn't be a felony being pushed on her.

So what would've been her punishment if she was mixed, Latino, or Asian?

I amended my answer on the second page to better reflect what I meant/should have said, which is that if she weren't a minority she wouldn't have been charged with a felony.

 at the felony. 

But mix that **** up at the crib or something.

Next you'll start experimenting with how to make crack, meth, bombs from pressure cookers...

if she was latino or mixed, probably the same. I dont even think I've read news articles where asian girls are getting arrested.

I don't really blame her, or the cops, or the school. The school is doing what it has to in order to cover itself from any legal problems. There are certain steps that schools must take. Same with the cops. Even if they are being racist, they are only being racist up to the point of the law. The real problem is that the U.S is such a litigious society. The other problem is that in the U.S we are sadly controlled by domestic (and foreign) thoughts of terrorism. The amount of deaths related to incidents such as school shooting is absolutely miniscule..to the point of microscopic. However, since it is a hot button issue the other 99.9999% of normal students get held to an unreasonable standard. Sure, she did something dumb..but it wasn't any dumber or more dangerous than driving around in a school parking lot going 35 instead of the posted 5 or 10 mph.

In defense of the school: If they didn't expel her, and the police investigated the situation and found out she actually was planning some sort of shooting/bomb etc they would be the ultimate scapegoats for not following safety protocols. However miniscule the possibility, they have a responsibility to cover themselves.

in defense of the cops and DA: I don't really have any defense of them. I think that for any 'stupid' stuff teens really shouldn't get felonies. They are just developing and they will do dumb stuff. It is hard wired in them. However, if they do any sexual or violent crimes they should be tried to the full degree of the law. I would assume if this case were to go to court the circumstances, character etc may be able to get it reduced to a misdemeanor with community service.

A felony is Od

What is your point? Let's take your implication seriously, let's assume no Asian American in history has ever created a chemical reaction for fun. 

What about the thousands of white kids have? Evident by their uploads to youtube?

I just don't see what point you were trying to make. Only black kids do stuff like this so she deserves to be charged with a felony?

 

[currensy]

Sad to see, at the most they could've expelled her or have her go to alternative school. 

 

[flight]

THats the point of science

how was she suppose to learn?

 

[teegeebee]

I can't believe that man I remember in highschool one guy pulled the cord to these thing we had incase of a fire in science class and it was also a eyes washing station well he pulled both cord and knocked every chair over and locked the door so the whole room was flooded they couldn't even get the water to stop all he did was go to iss (in school suspension) this is sad she should've got sent home for the day

Thanks goodness that was beyond ridiculous but it shouldn't even had to come to that

 

[rillo561]

Sad thing is it'll still follow her, she'll have to prove her innocents every time for a job.

 

[murdermiljoker]
