Social videos, memes and retweets are becoming fodder for criminal charges in an era of heightened responses to student threats. Authorities say harsh punishment is necessary, but experts say the crackdown has unintended consequences.
The police lieutenant said they needed to be held accountable in a court of law for their crimes…
Dude, they are 13 year olds making a video about a traumatic childhood reality, not threatening anyone or even making jokes about it. If you really think they were threatening a mass shooting, then you deal with that in an appropriate investigation.

EDIT: This lieutenant is the kind of guy who thinks it is justifiable to shoot your gun at people toilet-papering your house, which is a real event that killed a kid at the highschool I went to.
