12 year old visit’s jail for making a joke.
Do you know that you can go to jail in the US for making a nasty joke in public or in school? Now to me that really does sound ridiculous especially when the joke is coming from a 12 year old kid.
A 12-year-old Aurora boy who said he brought powdered sugar to school for a science project this week has been charged with a felony for possessing a look-alike drug, Aurora police have confirmed
The arrest was triggered by two other boys who asked if the bag contained cocaine after he showed it to them in the bathroom. He joked that it was cocaine, before telling them, “just kidding,” but well it landed him in jail after the custodian of the school reported to the police.
Comments: I really do not understand why making a joke can land you in jail. US boast so much for having a very indulgent system, blessed with freedom and opportunity, but yet they are the worst at handling a simple joke coming from a 12 year old. How pathetic.
