    The student is now facing three misdemeanor accounts, unlawfully concealing a weapon, disturbing lawful – educational institutions, and possession of an illegal weapon.

    Well at least two of those charges are bullshit, since an airsoft gun isn’t a weapon, and it’s certainly not an illegal one.

      The American legal system piles on as many, as severe as possible, charges as they can. Unless you’re wealthy and privileged anyway. Their whole goal is the scare you shitless and make you accept a plea deal. Hopefully you can do probation so they can charge you for your own punishment and maybe even make a little money.
