    Default Teen Charged with Hate Crime Against Gays

    Well, it was bound to happen. Two teenage girls have been arrested for posting fliers showing one boy kissing another. The article never says what the fliers said, just that it was 'hateful.' One girl has been placed under house arrest. The other was denied bond due to a previous juvenille record and 'home environment.' Now, the fliers seem to have been a personal attack against somebody the girls knew, but this is still a legal horror. This should have been a school discipline problem, not a frickin' arrest.

    BTW, anybody remember when Eric Cartman was charged with a hate crime? Basically the same thing. The girls put up inappropriate fliers attacking a student. The principal stepped in to discipline the kids, but then the police stepped up and basically said, "It's ok if you did this to a non-protected minority or majority, but you attacked somebody who was gay, so you're under arrest."

    You get arrested for things like this and just about anything if it happens in school. They always bring in cops and press charges. Terroristic threatening can get you more time then a fight.

    Yeah, I've been in high school, but there was no threat here. If the fliers hadn't been about a gay guy, the cops would have nothing to charge them with, and the douchebaggery would have ended rather quickly.

    but it was, got to be carefull. If they can find a way to charge you they will. The school can't really punish so they hand it to the cops.

    Sure they can. Suspend them. Give them detention. Do whatever, but stay in your jurisdiction. Let's face it. The cops would not have been called in if they hadn't been targetting a gay person.

    We have 2 cops in our school full time that invistigate stuff like this and a uniformed cop that walks the halls at night. They don't call them in, in a lot of places, they are already there.l

    You're still missing the point. There would have been no arrest made if this hadn't been targeting some poor, pitiful minority. It's thought crime.

    Those poor pitifull minorities have laws that protect them and if you break the law, cops come, and you are punished by the courts.

    Speech about homosexual behavior is not and should not EVER be a crime!

    They only get the cops involved because they are afraid of another Columbine or Virginia Tech, it is the atmosphere.

    They should have been expelled, but arrested? They are school kids, thats dumb.

    Yes it should, it encourages violent and hatred behavior.

    So if I say that my religion calls homosexual behavior sinful, that should be banned speech?!?

    Actually, they're AT the re-education camp --- it's called public school, USA. These girls just weren't going along with the program.
