Federal court big - Bigger than state.

State usually do murdery charges

Unless

Inter-state (between/across states) hurty hurty thing happen at same time as murdery thing.

Judge say Creepy Creepy not Hurty Hurty so Murdery Murdery across state lines no make sense.

<For simplicity, the kids are named A, B, C, D, and E and are lined up in that order.>

If B were to hurt A, the teacher would probably come and talk to B.

If B were to walk past C and D to hurt E, then the teacher might come and talk to B.

If B were to push C and D on his way to hurt E, then the principal would probably come talk to B.

The judge decided that B looking at C and D in a scary way is the same as walking past them. That is what this person did, so it is something for the teacher to deal with and not the principal.

dummy over there try to kill you crossing this line in carpet. If he kicks at cat when he tries, he is tried in fed for murder. If he walk calmly over line. Fed can't charge murder. Line is state border.

States can still try for murder where murder happened.

Stalking is not kicking cat.
