The fact is, the dickhead probably didn't have any of those, otherwise we would've known from the article.

Putting others at risk is a far more serious offence that deserves harsh punishment, but this is not what happened here. Prison is grotesque. Community service, being expelled from school would have given the kid the lesson they deserve.

If you'd spit in my milk, while I do think that deserves to be handled by the courts, I don't think it'd be appropriate to put you in prison.
