Maybe that same zero tolerance should be enforced on Homeland Security and ICE. Why aren't they treting those violators the same way as this child? Which offense is more serious and broader in scope? And we won't even bring up how that traitorous Bush put a HOLD on ANY deportation efforts on B-HO's aunt now. What happened to equal protection under the law? Apparently an innocent American child is granted fewer rights and opportunities for justice than an illegal alien that is under a deportation order.

Apparently Ms. Bridgeman thinks it is so why don't we go zero tolerance on other things? Tardiness? Bullying? Or why does society hold these CHILDREN accountable to such tough standards when we would NEVER try to hold adults to such a standard. Speeding? Who doesn't want a break? Drug dealing? In TN there is an ENTITLEMENT to probation not an eligibility for probation since the state considers drugs to be non-violent. But let a kid bring a harmless piece of plastic and it's on!! I guess what it represents scares the poo-poo out of the weak and stupid. But I guess drugs don't. I hope the next time the illustrious and industrious Ms. Bridgeman sees someone get off easy for killing someone or dealing drugs, she screams bloody murder for zero tolerance in Anderson County. A jurisdiction long known for it's tough sentencing and no nonesense criminal prosecution. Ok, lets assume for a minute that “zero tolerance” is a great thing.
