WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
According to this story on MSNBC.COM, “Ohio University will reimburse a student for a bicycle that was destroyed during a bomb scare.” The story goes on to explain that the bicycle bore an advertising sticker handed out free by radio stations and clubs for a Florida-based punk rock band named “This Bike is a Pipe Bomb.”
The question I put before you is this. The DA had originally charged the bicycle owner with “inducing panic” according to the story, but dropped the charges. Given that one may not shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater and cause a panic, is having an advertising sticker on a bicycle on a college campus with the phrase “This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb” justification enough for charging the student with “inducing panic”?
Your thoughts?
