Suspending all students involved is done automatically for very good reasons This is what I wrote on one of the other threads: Three reasons: First three days is a pretty adequate cooling off time period. Second that is plenty of time to view video tapes, if the bus had cameras, or cell phone recordings that made it on to youtube.
It also gives the school and the police time to do a more formal investigation.
I noticed that the gunman was initially charged with a relatively minor offense. Once they get all the evidence they can bump this up. If they charge him with attempted murder right off the bat and that can't stick the DA is less likely to charge him with the lesser included and he walks on all counts and becomes a hero.
What do you say we all stop acting like liberals reacting emotionally. Sometimes whether we like it or not there are sound reasons for administrative actions.
So the hero in this story is on the equivalent of “administrative leave pending investigation”?
I can buy that as a good reason.
There’s probably some of the gunman’s friends that would seek some retribution for the “dissing” that the hero did to thier friend.
Reason has a serious problem overcoming dogma.......
You must be a government employee.
While those are good reasons, a suspension is a punishment and will go on the kid’s record. That is a reason to not suspend him. You do not punish good behavior you punish bad behavior.
Why suspend the kid??....If I were the kid’s parents, I’d just keep him home....period.
