This is frustrating. Obviously it’s not okay to make jokes like that and I even think some sort of punishment might be okay, but strip searching and jailing her overnight? You aren’t creating someone who will think before they speak, you’re making someone who will be paranoid of all legal processes and never trust any government official ever again for anything because they got fucking STRIP SEARCHED AND DETAINED OVERNIGHT over a really shitty joke.
To me this is equivalent to dropping bombs on the Middle East and expecting not to create a lot more terrorists. If she didn’t want to go shooting before maybe she wants to now.
