maleficent

I don't disagree that the law has been applied without common sense. Where I draw exception... and I know I am not going to articulate this clearly --

The kid did something wrong.
Unless he's illiterate, he could read the sign on the bus (I"m sure there was one, they're all over NJ transit buses) he CHOSE to eat his lollipop anyhow.
He got caught.
Rather than accept responsibility for his actions...
He whined... and got his daddy involved in this.


I'd have more respect for the kid, if he paid the fine, then worked towards getting the law changed. I am sure this boy and his father didn't give two seconds thought about this law until it applied to them. and the only reason why they are fussing now, is because they got caught breaking it.

Accept responsibility. Work towards changing it.
