Serving suspensions....Ridiculous....
Their prank was absolutely harmless....and only proves "people ignorance".
Did you know that dihydrogen monoxide causes about 3,500 deaths per year, 20% of whom are children 14 and younger?

Major headline disconnect.
Last sentence of the article: officials with the local health department tell The Atlantic Wire that felony charges are not expected.

Seriously, felony charges. There is something in the water in Fort Meyers, but I don't think it is just water. Might be some stupid pills.

Exposure to dihydrogen monoxide is 100% fatal—eventually.

Growing vegetables are treated with this chemical during sprouting and growth (a practice which Congress refuses to regulate!) and, even when said produce is washed, retains easily-detectable traces of this chemical.

Madness.
In order to have a sense of humor, a certain level of intelligence is necessary.
Obviously, the country’s intelligence level is plunging rapidly.

It must refer to his reaching for a water bottle during his rebuttal to the SUA.

Good thing they didn't tell them their epidermis is showing they may have gotten 10 years. "Idiocracy" is here.

That information was in an update to the original story and wasn’t posted until yesterday. The headline wasn’t changed to reflect it.

Ban it! Government studies! EPA regulations! Get some PhDs on this right this minute! This is terrible! This is awful! This is really really scarrrrrrry!
To: Jack Hydrazine
Well, I guess they must protect the stupid.
No better way than to jail someone for uttering a word or a phrase that the illiterate do not know.
Kinda like the storm over the use of the word “Niggardly”.
Since STUPID really is terminal, they must be protected at any cost. After all their votes are sometimes needed.

The U.S. military, and especially the Navy, conduct a large number of weapons tests involving DHMO.
