Pranksters be warned
Eight-grader Domanik Green was arrested on felony charges in Holiday, Fla. Wednesday after breaking into his teacher’s computer to change the background picture to two men kissing.
Green, 14, who was released the day of his arrest, said that he broke into the computer of teacher he didn’t like after realizing that faculty members’ passwords were simply their last names, the Tampa Bay Times reports. Green, who previously faced a three-day suspension for a similar prank, said that many students got in trouble for breaking into teachers’ computers.

...he broke into the computer of teacher he didn’t like after realizing that faculty members’ passwords were simply their last names... It's almost as if the school wanted this to happen.

Two men kissing? Aren’t we supposed to glorify that now?

I do not think they’re smart enough to engineer such a likelihood...

Changed it to a picture of two men kissing?
Wait till the gay groups find out about this. They will praise the boy for celebrating diversity, and urge that he not be punished in any way.........
To: yuffy
What the kid did was wrong, but how is this a felony???
To: yuffy
“Even though some might say this is just a teenage prank, who knows what this teenager might have done,” Sheriff Chris Nocco told the Tampa Bay Times Thursday. In a free country, with a negative-rights-based constitution and a properly run republican form of government, it would not matter what the boy MIGHT have done. It would only matter what he DID.

I’m surprised he wasn’t commended. After all, he put a gay background on the teacher’s computer. Isn’t that Common Core friendly?
He’s a jerk, maybe a gay jerk, but a felony?
To: yuffy
The kid should have changed the password. Then he could have held the computer hostage as a bargaining chip for a better deal.
To: yuffy
Two SS-kissers? This student is doing nothing other than throwing back to the teacher what he/she has been learning in prior class lessons. Usually, the student plays back the new knowledge on a test... but, in this case, on the teacher’s laptop.

faculty members’ passwords were simply their last names, That. In and of itself, is criminal. Or it freaking should be.

Appears to me that the teachers should take a class on making strong passwords.
