7th grader suspended for pointing finger 'gun' at classmates

[JLM]

I hear you, & we have to keep in mind that in grade seven...makes this kid a
twelve year old boy? Thirteen, I guess, from the O.P.

At least he might/should avoid an adult record & stay off the no-fly lists, etc....

I had to read the report a second time to make sure I wasn't missing something! I guess it's what can happen when stupid people become paranoid!

If pointing your finger as if it was a gun is a crime then there are millions of young criminals out there right now. That is horrifying.

I must say im not surprised though. I remember the elementary school I went to threatened to suspend kids for doing similar things. I dont think they ever carried through though. Charging the kid is over the top. Hell, even a suspension is.

 

[EagleSmack]

Knee jerking yet again... just like the anti-gun crowd is doing.

 

[damngrumpy]

Mentioning fingers and toes as potential weapons remember when kids used to roll down
the car window and moon people, I wonder what would happen if they saw that as a weapon
My question is, "is there any hope for the future generation when this generation behaves
the way it does"
The adults in this case should be the ones getting a time out without pay

 

[lone wolf]

One finger is a threat. Two is legal ... but then, the whole bouquet clenched is a threat. Any wonder we have pockets?

 

[Nuggler]

At least he didn't point his most dangerous weapon of all... his wee wee.

Oh you're just dirty

dirty dirty dirty.

and you beat me to it.:-(

 

[Cliffy]

Right on Cliffy- and stick it in a French safe and what you have is a concealed weapon!



Charming!

Isn't that what happens when you pull someone's finger?

 

[L Gilbert]

Don't forget gloves and mittens!

Ah, you mean the silencers. The kid could've been in deep shyte for that, too.

 

[SLM]

So now what are they going to do? Ban fingers???

Honestly sometimes I don't know who does more damage, the sob's that commit actual crimes or the idiots that freak out over everything. I almost think I'd rather take my chances with a criminal, better odds that he can be reasoned with.

 

[L Gilbert]

better odds that he can be reasoned with.

lol For sure.

 

[SLM]

lol For sure.

Or at least bribed. Lol.

 

[L Gilbert]

Or at least bribed. Lol.

Nah. Easy to bribe either sort. lol

Six schools got "locked down" in Alta. today. Little buggers are acting up and everyone else is flipping out!

 

[L Gilbert]

Easier to get all emotional and flip out rather than THINK.

You can't trust a12 year old.

That's nothng. Over here Dalton wants to spend $40 million to lock down the public schools.

I'm pretty sure they already have locks, so the $40 mil must be "admin fees".

In the 60s during the FLQ crisis, most Quebec schools were locked and had armed guards.

Funny thing was that most bomb threats were phoned in by students who didn't feel like going to school that day.

Isn't that Beiber?

First, they will take your guns....next, your fingers


Good. Guns are designed to kill. Simulating a gun, whether it is a finger, or even a popsicle stick has the same meaning, to kill another human being in cold blood. It is a sign of intimidation. It is not funny, or a joke.

Cold blood means with no conscience, sociopathic, reptilian.
