>it wasn't duplicitousness on Mickey's part<

I don't think anyone thinks so. It still has nothing to do with what happened here. A kid just wanted to eat his lunch. No facts known suggest that he wants you to be forbidden from putting ham sandwiches in baggies, or to be stoned or mutilated for stuff.

Ron: Oh, now I realize that you probably see it as "hate speech" (Not necessarily as a legal term of art.) Depending on what the facts actually were (!!), I probably do, too.

The kids at that school should (probably) be shown A Bad Day at Black Rock, with Spencer Tracy, and we let this die.
