Title: Students disarm gunman -- suspended as a result
Post by: Glock32 on March 03, 2013, 10:33:50 AM
A Florida high school student on a bus observed another student produce a .22 revolver and point it at the back of another student's head. He and two others then wrestled the gunman and successfully disarmed him.

All three have now been suspended for being involved in a "weapons incident". The rational part of me tries to find sensible motivation, for instance maybe they suspended all involved until it could be determined who actually produced the weapon and pointed it at someone, but the cynical part of me reads the news too often and figures these suspensions are motivated by nothing more than "Gun = Bad. Students touched gun. Therefore, Students = Bad."

In Maryland .... suspended for two days.

Seven year-old Joshua Welch was suspended for two days this week after he chewed a pastry into the shape of a gun. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/03/seven-year-old-suspended-after-chewing-pastry-into-shape-of-a-gun-video/)

It was against school policy.

FoxBaltimore.com reports that Josh Welch, a second-grader at Park Elementary School in Baltimore, was eating a strawberry tart when he decided to shape it into a mountain.

“All I was trying to do was turn it into a mountain but, it didn’t look like a mountain really and it turned out to be a gun [kind of],” Josh told the station.

Josh ... said his teacher was visibly mad when she saw that the pastry looked like a gun, according to the report.

In Florida ....

A Florida high school student wrestled a loaded gun away from another teen on the bus ride home this week and was slapped with a suspension in return. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/03/sixteen-year-old-fl-student-suspended-for-disarming-gunman-saving-students-video/)

Quote
The student said the suspect, a football player, threatened to shoot a teammate because he had been arguing with his friend.

Authorities confirmed to WFTX the weapon was indeed loaded, and the arrest report stated the suspect, identified by WVZN-TV as Quadryle Davis, was “pointing the gun directly” at the other student and “threatening to shoot him.”

That’s when, the teen told the station, he and two others tackled the suspect and wrestled the gun away. The next day, all three were suspended.

... The school’s referral slip said he was given an “emergency suspension” for being involved in an “incident” with a weapon.

Wow, denied access to a state-run indoctrination center/slaughterhouse, I would consider that fortunate and never return.

Actually I would never enter to begin with, state-run camps are the highest form of child abuse behind sexual molestation (which some also excel in).

I applaud those who try to make a difference in the public indoctrination centers (Yes, I admit that there are some). My heart goes out to those who are forced by circumstance to subject their children to that fate. Personally - I've had a bellyful and thank the stars that I no longer have to contend with the friggin morons who prowl those evil places.

I can't help but wonder what we're not being told.

First, the people involved are Black, which means the media will not tell the whole truth.

And buried in the context of the video at the link is the little tidbit about the boy being suspended because he refused to cooperate with the investigation.

I smell half-truths and lies.

The universal calling card of the JurnoTard.  The pc/diversity/multi-culti filter let little truth out.  And if it does it is in drips and drabs.  Perhaps a blogger will get some facts firsthand, otherwise we are just mushrooms feasting on bullshyt in the dark.

And there is this ridiculousness...

Kid should have said it's not a gun, it's his weiner, I bet he could have gotten away with it.

The pop tart is innocent, the gun isn't...even if all that gun does is drool warm jelly.

Dear Parents and Guardians:

    I am writing to let you know about an incident that occurred this morning in one of our classrooms and encourage you to discuss this matter with your child in a manner you deem most appropriate.

    During breakfast this morning, one of our students used food to make inappropriate gestures that disrupted the class. While no physical threats were made and no one [was] harmed, the student had to be removed from the classroom.

    * * *

    As you are aware, the ... Code of Student Conduct and appropriate consequences related to violations of the code are clearly spelled out in the Student Handbook, which was sent home during the first week of school and can be found on our website, www.aacps.org (http://www.aacps.org)....

    If your children express that they are troubled by today's incident, please talk with them and help them share their feelings. Our school counselor is available to meet with any students who have the need to do so next week. In general, please remind them of the importance of making good choices.

That's the letter sent from the school to parents in case the other kids were "troubled" by the "incident".

More at link.

The absence of common sense is just inexplicable, even taking zero-tolerance liberalism at face value. How could anyone view this as even remotely threatening, and label it a violation?

Parents should be at the school with torches and pitchforks, and refuse to leave until the offenders are fired.

Should be, in a sane world anyway.  But how many here are greatful for the state-run day-care services and will put up with all sorts of asshattery?

IMO sending a kid to public school is child abuse.
