It looks to me according to everyone the only charges were as I said and not the passing idea of a "threat" as you have zeroed in on.

I suppose you'll have to excuse me if I focused in on the part about threats made at an elementary school. But I haven't seen the police report simply an assertion that threats were made. You do realize the kid could have made threats but the police choose not to charge him with it don't you?

Of course we can both agree that he was not arrested for refusing to stand for the pledge.
