Yet again, soft-on-crime judges are not punishing bad behavior sufficiently.
What do you get for phoning in two bomb threats to a school? All of 11 days in jail and probation, and an impulse control class.
The Detroit News: Detroit woman sentenced for phoning in fake bomb threats to Lake Shore High School
A Detroit woman was sentenced to a short jail stint followed by probation for phoning in two fake bomb threats to Lake Shore High School because her daughter was not allowed to participate in a school play, prosecutors said Thursday.
Phoning in a bomb threat is uncivilized and unacceptable behavior.
So much so you can be jailed up to 4 years for doing so.
If you want to discourage behavior like this you need to crack down on it and make the punishment be a deterrent both to the moron that phoned it in and to others contemplating doing the same thing.
Just 11 days in jail and probation for two felonies with a maximum time of 4 years in jail after disrupting 700 students and parents is almost a joke rather than a deterrent. She got off far too lightly.
