I made nitroglycerin in my chemistry class as a Freshman in high school... I tried to make numerous explosives, most failed, but not all...
That’s how you learn. It was exciting...
What really matters here is did she do this with kids immediately around her or did she do this in a relatively clear area. About the worst that could have happened here is someone being hit by a flying plastic bottle or toilet bowl cleaner in the eyes. Hardly worthy of a felony.
We have lost our way as a country. We destroy the best among us and lift the worst and then wonder why we are decline.
When I was in college one of the students in the organic chemistry lab accidentally produced some nitroglycerine when he or she used glycerine to lubricate some glass fittings. They had to evacuate the lab while the O’Chem professor developed a procedure for the safe disposal of it.
