That might be a bit much. Thinking back to age 15-17, I can understand how something like this might have been thought of as a harmless prank. It isn't, but it's not like he poked everyone with a used hypodermic needle. I think the punishment fit the crime and will hopefully cause him to rethink his actions in the future. Like Blau said, he's lucky he didn't get a can of whoop-ass opened on him right on the spot.

Well said at 15 -17 most don't thank of the out come of what they do.
