A kid was arrested, but released pending further investigation, so I'm hard pressed to believe there is no punishment for this. But we're talking about teenagers here, the fact that he could be punished is there, but was not given serious consideration if any at all...because he isn't a fully mature adult. So what would a more serious punishment do?
This is something probably solved with education rather than more punishment.
This is one long strawmen: you're generalizing my argument for this single situation to every situation.
You're basically accusing me of doing what you're doing: thinking in black and white. In my case if I think that ruining his life here with severe punishment is wrong, it must always be wrong.
Ask yourself this. Is there anyone who did something very stupid in HS that turned out to be a good adult without facing severe consequences for their actions? I can think of a few.
