Truly, why can't we just get a balanced look at the many nuances of charging a 13 year old with a felony for recording audio on his cell phone?

[scarejunba]

Haha exactly. There's no balance here because the charges are outstandingly moronic. We can't seek balance in all things. Some things are just idiotic.

It’s like nobody’s even bothering to list the positive benefits of pushing children into the criminal justice system.

While talking to a public official, even.

In a public place, even (reception area).

The piece is an angry rant, hence my comment

[pwinnski]

An angry rant is the only reasonable response to this asinine situation. It's the most civil reasonable option, since it doesn't include a call for violence.

[extralego]

As it should be... and you should feel ashamed imo.

[handbanana]

Ashamed of what?

[Daishiman]

Of deviating the conversation into a ridiculous, meaningless tone-policing thing.

[handbanana]

It was an awfully written blog post, which I mistook as an article.

I agree with the ridiculous assertion, given that I’m to be ashamed and the top reply to my comment includes the line “I'd take something with an angrier tone, like an appeal to fire the school principle and ban him from teaching for life.”
