What the hell?

So, you're 14. And you shove a hall monitor. Nobody's hurt, and you don't have a record, so you get....

What? Detention? Suspended? A note in your permanent record?

Or, maybe, seven years in prison. Because we've just got to crack down on that violent behaviour. Or something. The news article says "up to seven years", but even if she gets out now, it's clearly too long. The girl has already been imprisoned a year.

For... what again?

I... I don't even know what to say. There aren't enough words to express how pissed the fuck off I am at hearing this.

For... what again?

On admittedly limited information, it sounds a lot like the answer to that is "for being black and uppity about it".

Seems pretty obvious.
