[Dr. Frank fan]

But school officials say that Brandon had been warned about loaning his inhaler, and that new state laws mean their hands are tied when it comes to zero tolerance and drugs.

Translation: They care more about hanging on to their taxpayer funded jobs than doing the right thing. And they're willing to expel a perfectly-innocent kid for the sake of avoiding risks to their public trough jobs.

[small voice in the wilderness]

...now IF he had put the inhaler inside a condom...

Common sense has completely left the building.

[Senator Pardek]

If this policy keeps some drug-addled teenage junkie from offering his wares to my kid, I'm all for it. Break the law - pay the price! I wonder what other junk these filthy runts were inhaling...

[joesnuffy]

This is completely insane
no common sense to the law ,the idiot nurse, the cops ,the DA
By the grace of God perhaps a judge will common decency will throw this out
I doubt it..as they seem to be rare these days
But to punish a young man who merely opted to help his friend -out of compassion for her suffering-?
What a crock....

[ALASKA]

Unbefrickinlievable!! Had it been a severe reaction, I wonder what the reaction of the school would have been had she died and the BF hadn't share his inhaler?

[Renfield]

"Loan" (and therefore, "Loaning") is not a verb. "Loan" is a noun. The correct verb form is "Lend". Make a note of it.

The nurse picked up the phone to call the cops but what did she do for the girl?

I hope that comes out in the trial.

I hope the trial brings the fact home to parents that public school officials don't give a rat's patoot about their kids. All they care about is covering their butts.

[microgood]

The parents should leave the state today and never look back (for the kid's sake).

The war on drugs has turned into a war on sanity.

Principal Greg Poole told Eyewitness News, "It's hard, it's difficult. We certainly don't look forward to expelling any kid. But then you have to consider a kid takes the medication and has an allergic reaction, and then we have to deal with that issue. So, yes, there is no discretion at this stage."

Translation: I'm a p*ssy.

[Mulder]

Unbelievable.

This country is screwed.

Oh well. At least it was nice for awhile. I pity those kids that will grow up in a country that sucks.

[ThinkDifferent]

"Would they rather have had her die than my son to help her?"

Yes, they would. Absolutely incredible. Every day I am more grateful that I graduated high school just before this colossal idiocy started.

While I'm not a fan of the war on drugs, I would immensely enjoy watching this spineless bootlicker get his door kicked in and his house and car seized by DEA agents responding to a false tip.

[Libertina]

These people are insaen, of course, you know they are being driven that way by trail lawyers... THEY are destroying our country. Something needs to be done about out of control lawyers.

If there is anyone close to this case, please, please contact the young mans family and have their attorney review the Doctrine of Competing Harms, Doctrine of Necessity, Doctrine of two Evils as applicable in the Texas statutes. It will vindicate this young man.

Excerpt:
"By comparison, the legal defense of necessity applies more generally to breaking the law, such that one may be found justified in breaking the law in certain rare circumstances where following the law would demonstrably cause more human injury (or, perhaps, suffering) to some innocent person(s) than breaking it."

Every educrat is a Gestapo thug.

I'm so proud!
