I think the school was well in its rights to suspend the kid, though unfortunately it may only alienate him more. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I may have been pissed off about a lot at 16 but I never thought to kill someone, which is just about the most disgusting thing you can in life. when 16 year olds and up decide to make a death note there’s something wrong with them, and their families, and the society that fosters such anger, hate, and depression in a young person.

If someone wishes people to die badly enough that he's taking some kind of action, writing their names in a book seems pretty minor. We need a TV show where crazy teenagers exact revenge on people they hate by going to their school counselors and having a long talk. You know, this seems like a good thing to me.

Right, because the concept of "loner listmakers" following through on their threats is unheard of, right Chris? “Moral handwringing”?
