The One Ring is now a weapon in Texas

[KittySlayer]

MWARing - maybe it was one of those Magic Rings they have for the Smart Guns. Zero tolerance at its finest.

The One Ring is a weapon? I demand my constitutional right to keep and bear the One Ring!

I took a slingshot to school once as a kid and used to bring toy soliders to school to pay with sometimes in elementary school too... Gosh, I don't even want to know what would happen if a child did that today.

To be fair, the slingshot was a stupid idea but I wanted to launch rocks across the giant playground we had that backed up to some woods... not to harm other children. And the toy soliders? Well heck, they shot guns at each other and had little toy guns.

I even had one of those 'swtich blade combs' that looked like a real knife/switchblade but when you pressed the button a comb came out.

I fear for kids today.

Ok, so two jokes I came up with:

School posts stunning video of the bullied child's initial reaction

or

School posts picture of bullied child and his 4 close friends.

Meanwhile, four children of Scandinavian descent named "Gunnar" have been permanently suspended from all educational institutions for life and have received a lifetime TSA ban from public transportation.

The 9-year-old has been in in-school suspension for referring to another student’s skin color and got in trouble for bringing a kids’ book about pregnancy to school.

Parent: Fourth-grader suspended after using magic from 'The Hobbit' - Odessa American: Education

...what?

I'm going to say that facts matter, and we don't have any. You can spin hypotheticals where the school overreached and you can spin them where the kid should have been suspended about ANY of his infractions. There's nice ways and mean ways to refer to skin color. Bringing a book can be appropriate or disruptive, depending on what you do with the book. Threatening with magical powers can be playful and routine kid stuff or it could be part of bullying and harassing other students.

All in all, seems like a local issue that doesn't affect me in the slightest and is nothing for me to get worked up about or to apply as some grand evidence fn modern society's downfall or attainment of enlightenment.

Is wishing someone harm without the capacity to cause said harm a bad thing? If so, punish it.

If this was a joke statement, fine. If he seriously wanted the kid to vanish in some bully effect, seems rational then.

A 16 yr girl was recently convicted of texting an 18 yr boy constantly telling him to commit suicide which the 18 yet old then did. The girl was convicted of second degree involuntary manslaughter.

Ostracize her, shame her, call her a *****... but it shouldn't have been a crime.

So, you can be charged with threatening a woman if you tell her she's Drop Dead Gorgeous?

 

[IndyDave1776]

So, you can be charged with threatening a woman if you tell her she's Drop Dean Gorgeous?

Who is Dean and why would she drop him?

 

[Doug]

Who is Dean and why would she drop him?

I should proof read more carefully. It has been corrected.

 

[HoughMade]

If you think she has a "killer bod" is she threatening you?

 

[Family man]

I took my bow to school as a prop for a demonstration speech with no problem in 94.
In all im glad we home school. We avoid most of this type of crap. + Both my kids teachers are always armed.

Sure, It was in Mass. She was 17, she got what she deserved and is an awful human. I hope she takes a cue from Aaron Hernandez. Her actions violated MA law as written. Judge laid it out. She created a situation where she had a duty under MA law. No sympathy for this awful skank.
There's my opinion. Check out the details of the case and defense. She got 20 years, so she'll serve what, 7? She opted for a bench trial.

 

[LostWander]

Personally, I'm split. She's a horrible human that deserves to pay for what she enabled...but on the other hand, each person is responsible for their own actions. He does have to take blame for doing so, but still think her pushing a clearly troubled and potentially sick man is nearly as bad as having put him in and started the car.

I mean it's no chewing a poptart into the vague shape of a gun...:P

I did follow that story a bit. Reading her texts with the boy was very disturbing. She didn't "pull the trigger" so to speak but she had a lot of chances to help him and pushed him the other way. She broke the law, was found guilty and recieved her sentence. I think justice was served.
