content: I'd have accepted your argument if you weren't attacking people that you've never met. Most people only know of bombs from movies and TV shows. They see a flashing red led screen of numbers, wires, and typically some type of case. Occasionally there are large barrels of fertilizer or whatnot attached to it. For example, the latest episode of Super Girl only had a silver cylinder with a screen on it, but it had enough power to "destroy 30 blocks!" So yeah, someone who has never seen a real bomb either packed as a pipe bomb with no screen or wires, IED of Artillery shells in a trunk, or even a backpack some guy drops off in a crowd of people, would not know what a REAL bomb was. Neither would you. Obviously they didn't think it was serious enough to evacuate a school, so its obvious they were questioning his motive of bringing such a device to school. You know cause there have been bomb threats and the like, which aren't to be taken lightly. Shit sucks. I got in trouble for walking around with a bag of crushed life savers waving it in people's faces. I didn't realize the severity of walking around with "fake cocaine," I was just a kid. Kid made a mistake, the faculty made a mistake, the racist police officer making stupid comments made a mistake. It's a whole shitstorm that you can't blame on just one person.
