Reply #41: My false dichotomy was a response to MrBenchley's false dichotomy

See his reply #24. A simple tit for tat, an absurd statement in kind with an equally absurd one.

The criminal justice system is of course the ONLY entity competent to determine whether or not to charge the student with a crime, if so what actually transpired, and what to do about it. None of us here are capable of getting inside the teacher's head and playing back what that individual actually saw. None of us are competent, given the information presented, to make any kind of judgement about that individual's ability to know whether or not an actual gun was ever present. The fact that no gun was recovered and the back-pedaling that is documented in the article cast significant doubt IMO that the student can be successfully prosecuted for having a gun at the school.

As far as I can tell, the "you" in question was supporting the decision to arrest and charge the student alleged to have committed a (rather serious) crime.

No, "you" in question was impugning Superfly with one of his trademark smartass smears. And neither Superfly nor anyone else has suggested that a prosecution should not proceed should there be found enough evidence to pursue one.
