To
be fair, and I could be getting a bit Daily Mail here but if I am then sorry, this guy potentially fucked up the other kids life...

Which is a bit harsh, although to be fair had it been the other way round then Mat would have been shafted...

Yes, but
the other kid was not blameless at all!! He was buying weed in school, viewed as almost as much of a crime as selling it... They certainly threw people out of my school for both.

If he'd slipped the weed into an innocent kid's bag and they'd been searched and then framed, then I'd support your views.

Kudos to Matt for thinking quickly and dodging the bullet.

I
didn't say he was blameless but stuffing up a life like that is a bit harsh, although since then the guy would have opportunities to improve himself if he had the motivation...

Then again, who hasn't done a softarse thing as a kid...

and you're right, he was a paying customer so was just as guilty...

But that's what I mean
How is the kid that bought the weed entitled to 'ruin Matt's life' (not that this would in fact ruin anyone's life at all, and I'm speaking from experience), but if Matt took the opportunity to save his skin by doing the only thing possible and reciprocating, it is suddenly crime of the century?!

If the kid's a 'Tesco lifer' that'll be because he's a loser anyway, not because he got caught with half ounce of draw in school.

This argument is getting pretty circular (and strangely, also diagonal) now!

Looks
to me that we're basically reinforcing each others argument...

MAN HUG!
