The critical facts are:

1) He took a clock to school

2) He got arrested

3) He got suspended

That alone should be sufficient to cause anger. US isn't a crime free zone. Why aren't police spending time dealing with real actual crime?

These are not the critical facts. The news media wants you to be outraged because it drives eyeballs. That's why it is in their interest to write the story in such a way that you think these are the critical facts.
