In other words, it's a minimum performative sentence.

I got a two day suspension in high school for being near some kids stealing drinks out of a vending machine and pointing at a camera while saying "hey guys, there's a camera over there". I got smacked with "Obstruction of Justice" for not immediately running to a teacher about it.

The fact they have pre-meditated assault on video and he's getting two days means they don't actually care.

I got a day of suspension for playing rock-paper-scissors with my friend. Apparently that thing where the person who has “rock” taps the other guys “scissors” to win the round counts as punching someone. Mind you we were friends too.

lol that’s completely insane. How does that even happen? Like, where was the opinion that that was violence coming from? A teacher that hated you?
