I guess the threat of a felony charge will serve to eliminate that sort of behavior in the first place.
A dose of same-as-it-ever-was (detention/temporary expulsion/involve parents etc based on severity) and to make it modern, redirection of destructive creative outlet to constructive creative outlet.
Itâs a touch more work than threats of prison but it doesnât crush spirits (and thus create criminals).
Thatâs exactly what theyâre trying to give. Judgement. From a Judge. From a Judge from a cartoon.
I feel better about my casio wristwatch now. I wonât worry so much at security checks. Theyâll be looking for hulking great alarm clocks.
I wasnât talking about the studentsâŚ
I know. I was just riffing Dredd into the commentary.
I went to private school for 11th and 12th grade and it definitely didnât teach devaluing others.
I donât know whether to be in awe of having you help make the point so scarily or just stare in horror at a possible scenario that I wouldnât have the courage to type out.
Iâll just leave you with.
DudeâŚ

The flip side of which seems to be the supposition that panic would be the appropriate course of action if there was a real bomb, which is also daft.

As I found out two weeks or so ago, having your wife and daughters with you and helping to look for the missing child isnât even complete protection from the paranoia of some people. Fortunately for me, the police found the kid almost as soon as they were called. She was at home, where her mother left her.

Narrator: Was it ticking?
Airport Security Officer: Actually throwers donât worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs donât tick.
Narrator: Sorry, throwers?
Airport Security Officer: Baggage handlers. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police.
Narrator: My suitcase was vibrating?
Airport Security Officer: Nine times out of ten itâs an electric razor, but every once in a while⌠itâs a dildo. Of course itâs company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo⌠always use the indefinite article âaâ dildo, never âyourâ dildo.
Narrator: I donât ownâŚ

If itâs any consolation, genuine visceral panic makes most of the herd mindlessly split up and scatter in all directions and a proportion freeze and play dead. That way at least some may randomly find an escape solution that works and survive to breed another day ⌠Panic might not be rational, but it isnât necessarily the wrong response for group survival.

Good to know. When Iâm old enough for a sword-cane Iâll have to seriously consider wild brandishing and futile resistance before they take me to the managed dying facility.

I got a bit of a stern talking to when I foolishly brought this up during a march to the parking lot because someone mysteriously phoned in a bomb threat timed to disrupt some test. Nobody really argued with it; but the displeasure, it was made known.
In particular, it is apparently very tacky to do an impromptu survey of âsome containers we are crowded around that could hold at least 50kg of explosives without anyone noticing in time; and also four comfy, concealed, and elevated locations that absolutely anyone could have spent all morning getting set up inâ.
They couldnât argue that I was making a threat; because I was standing right in the âIâd be totally screwed if this werenât so unlikelyâ zone and just looking vaguely displeased with that; but you are definitely not supposed to propose amendments to the âsafetyâ procedures.
Probably lucky that this was some years back, or Iâd still be in for making terroristic threats or somesuch.

Looks like bringing in a brain is a close second to bringing in a bomb.
