No, lots of public commentary is condemning her for what she did but not want to see her entire future destroyed by federal conviction. Even if she's acquitted it's traumatic and destructive.

It's the kind of thing that could have been dealt with entirely within the school.

I was referring mainly to Hacker News and similar communities. Everybody condemning her has been downvoted to oblivion on these threads.

I condemned her for what she did, but I also said that it was stupid for the school to involve police, and that it was something that should have been dealt with in school.

I was not downvoted.
