B.S.!!! if this was a kid that had a toy gun or a full auto spitball launcher (or *GASP* a Bible) they would have been all over this crap.
I doubt a bible would get anyone booted from AHS. You'd have to know the school and the area to understand; pretty much a solid conservative community. I agree with you though, schools' zero tolerance policies are ridiculous.
It's moot anyway I think, since the guy evidently did not cause any problems until just a few days ago and anyone can drive right up to the school parking lot. I think the biggest fault, other than with the murderer, is with the court that let him go on attempted kidnapping charges for so low a figure.
If Miz is right about the actual bond that has to be posted, it's even worse. I don't know how that works. I always assumed that you had to put up that exact amount. Then again, I had always thought that "life in prison" should mean exactly that, yet people get paroled from "life".
