also, a Virginia cop got fired after pulling over an army lieutenant, holding him at gunpoint, pepper spraying him and his dog, when the guy ask what was going on the cop responded “you’re fixin to ride the lightning, son,” when he said he was scared to get out of the car, cop responded “and you should be.”
The reason for the stop was no license plate, even though there was a temporary tag taped to the window that the cop saw

Looney Leftist Oush thinks criminals should get treated better than us law abiding white folks.
But fun fact. I had to buy a new car in May 2020 (expiring June 2020). I rode out of state expired temp tags until I just registered my car in March 2021. Don't think I had even a single look from anyone. But I mean, it is a Volvo.

I'm just glad you didn't have an air freshener hanging from your mirror.

They shouted at him to keep his hands out of the car and to get out of the car, and arrested him for not complying with orders. That's so fucked up. They expect him to use his feet to unbuckle the seatbelt and open the door?

When they found out he was an army lieutenant, they tried to tell him not to speak up about the incident cuz criminal charges against him could hurt his military career.

I know, right?!? I'm OuTRAgED that they weren't publicly flogged or even executed.
High school kids do stupid, insensitive stuff. Nobody died. Maybe move on?

maybe their school and parents should actually use it as a teaching moment, rather than burry their heads in the sand
thought, i’m sure you agree with their messaging and intent - to downplay the need for social justice/reform

I'm just curious what the teaching moment is. The last day of school and prom are gone and over with. Are we breaking bones, chopping off fingers, revoking college admissions?

prom wasn’t over...they all attended the following day
and they aren’t all seniors
this shouldn’t be that hard to understand...even members of their community are embarrassed and ashamed
you think it’s ok?
you think they’re upstanding role models?

and you wonder why so many posters have taken issue with you going back to the .com days, psych
maybe you should crawl back under your rock and go back to posting minimally, lest your true colors continue to be outed

I was asking about now. Prom is now over.
I don't think their behavior is ok. I wouldn't allow my kids to do that. They need to learn from it.
My question remains what is an appropriate consequence?

they shoulda been barred from prom, imo, but that boat has sailed
the school can do nothing fir those that were seniors, unfortunately, and it seems likely that the parents of those kids that have graduated would do much of anything, since it’s their parenting (or lack thereof) that at least in part lead to the behavior in the first place
for those that didn’t graduate, some level of suspension or being held out of extra-curricular activities come fall seems warranted...perhaps even coupled with a mandatory writing assignment focused on the issue

I'm not condoning or excusing their behavior. My concern is that, as a culture, we are trending more toward extremely punitive responses to juvenile behavior/mistakes that has farther-reaching consequences than may be appropriate. Missing prom, suspensions, extracurricular restrictions all seem reasonable. Losing college admissions or scholarships or job opportunities seems a little over the top IMHO.
