I wonder what they think they'll accomplish by jailing her. I wonder if they think.

Does everyone believe what I was saying about explosives being more dangerous than guns now? They're also a lot easier to assemble 
But seriously I fucking hate these people, the sooner Bitcoin puts them out of business the better, every time I think about giving them the benefit of the doubt something like this gets posted up.

Well, thank god she didn't try the old "lit splint in a test tube of hydrogen" experiment... She might have been charged with possession of a hydrogen bomb.

Schoolgirl tries science experiment, arrested for felony
A teenage girl puts two household chemicals in a water bottle at school to see what might happen.
There is a small explosion. No one is hurt. She is expelled and charged with weapons possession.
Who among us hasn't -- just once in our lives -- put a couple of things in a test tube, a bottle, or our mouths and wondered what might happen?
Occasionally, this might have difficult consequences. But rarely does someone try to arrest us for it.
16-year-old Kiera Wilmot wasn't so lucky.
This student at Bartow High School in Florida allegedly thought she'd put a couple of household chemicals in an 8-ounce water bottle, just to see the reaction.
The reaction was that she was expelled and marched off in handcuffs, accused of felony possession/discharge of a dangerous weapon.
