They have been suspended from school without a trial, for a crime which didn't happen at school.
I'm sure the retaliation-only US justice system will work wonders, can't have the private prison industry lose money after all.
Oh no, suspended for bullying. So cruel, making them face the consequences of their actions. You should go on hunger strike or something, to highlight the plight of these poor little angels.
You're arguing in bad faith and putting words in my mouth
Suspending students from school for weeks, while protecting the victims temporarily from contact, has the side effect of withholding education from children. Surely they won't miss anything important while suspended for 4-8 weeks, it's not like education (or rather the lack thereof) and crime has a strong correlation.
Any justice system should have these priorities:
The U.S. justice system sole priority is bloodlust. That's part of the reason police brutality goes largely ignored: it only affects "criminals" and they deserve it anyway.
Now: how does the "tough on crime" attitude of the prosecution as reflected in the article protect current or future victims for more than a few months?
