Kids Arrested and Jailed After Cafeteria Food Fight

This is a surreal story that I watched on my local news last night. A food fight in a downriver Detroit area public prison school cafeteria, in Monroe, led to the suspension and arrest of four kids, and criminal charges. Plus, the students face potential expulsion from the school (the best thing that can happen to them). You have to watch the video. Watch the four high school boys being paraded through the courtroom in shackles, handcuffs, and striped jail suits. School officials released a statement claiming that this was not just mere horseplay because of the "potential injury to innocent students." Potential injury? Of course, it is the state's intention to turn peaceful people into criminals based on the potential for any undesired consequences.

Despite the unruly behavior on the part of these boys, this is what boys - and generally, kids - do at that age. Adolescent behavior, carried out by, yes, adolescents, is deemed criminal behavior by the police state-prison-government school complex, even when no one is hurt from the incident.

See my article on children as prisoners of the state, and the great film, "The War on Kids."
