Florida Teen Girl Charged With Felony After Science Experiment Goes Bad
http://j.mp/17wVOdW (Miami New Times)
"Kiera Wilmot got good grades and had a perfect behavior record. She
wasn't the kind of kid you'd expect to find hauled away in handcuffs
and expelled from school, but that's exactly what happened after an
attempt at a science project went horribly wrong. On 7 a.m. on
Monday, the 16 year-old mixed some common household chemicals in a
small 8 oz water bottle on the grounds of Bartow High School in
Bartow, Florida. The reaction caused a small explosion that caused the
top to pop up and produced some smoke. No one was hurt and no damage
was caused ... After the explosion Wilmot was taken into custody by a
school resources officer and charged with possession/discharge of a
weapon on school grounds and discharging a destructive device. She
will be tried as an adult. She was then taken to a juvenile
assessment center. She was also expelled from school and will be
forced to complete her diploma through an expulsion program."

She's also black. And in Florida, you know what that means to school
officials.
