Students Who Filmed Teacher Also Filmed Destructive Rampage Of Their Own
from the whoooooops dept
While it still seems that the school where some students filmed a teacher freaking out is overreacting in the wrong way (punishing the students, not the teacher), it appears those students have been known to go on a rampage or two themselves. Found via Politech is the news that the students posted that video which received so much publicity to the same site where they had posted another film... showing them vandalizing and destroying holiday decorations around their neighborhood. They're now being charged with criminal mischief for the vandalism. The only reason they were caught was because of the attention paid to the teacher video. Either way, it's still not clear if either video was filmed via a cameraphone (as all of the original stories seemed to imply). The quality still looks to be too good -- and it makes you wonder what good banning all mobile phones from the school will do.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
