It's funny how these things work out- if the kid were merely given a slap on the wrist and had his lollipop taken away, no one would have noticed. The kids that rode the bus would probably not think twice about eating on the bus, since all they would get is a slap on the wrist. But because this kid got a 300 dollar fine, everyone notices, and whether they like it or not, no one will ever eat on that bus again. Even though a 300 dollar fine for eating a lollipop is rediculous, he is guilty, and should face up to the charges. Someone has to be the scapegoat, and this kid just picked a bad day to eat that lollipop.
