wow, school went overboard with this one

I haven't fully read the article yet, but looking at the pictures, is it an ugly gun and did he shoot the principal in the face with it?

edit: I thought the issue might be that there was some prohibition against bringing toys in, but it looks like it was solely because it was a gun. Somehow, a toy ax was deemed less threatening.

I hope whatever supervisory board disciplines the principal. This is ****ing stupid.

Wow, poor kid. I'd be mega mega pissed if they grabbed me

Principle: What is this? *points at toy*
Alex: uh....a 2 inch toy gun?
Principle: Why did you bring this?
Alex: I'm using it for a World War II project! I'm making a model!
Principle: You're suspended, now I need you to just sign this statement...
Alex: Wait what?
Principle: You're Suspended!
Alex: Are you kidding me?!?!
Principle:
Alex: Screw this, i'm going back to Social Studies
Principle: Get back here young man!
Alex: **** you!

Good thing they caught this kid, I hope he's expelled! There's no telling what would happen if he got away with brining that toy gun to school! It was obviously a plot to see how security was, first a toy gun, next day an uzi.

Today the toy gun, tomorrow the world.

Boom! Trouble ensued, with Patrick's mom getting a phone call from Public School 52 Principal Evelyn Mastroianni saying her son had somehow gone from straight A's to the NRA.

You have got to be kidding me. Where are they hiding the Onion logo in this article?

The kid is a trained assasin....he could have took out half the school with that.

Terrorists, will they ever learn?

I'm not surprised. Schools take "weapons" very seriously (even microscopic ones...). That would happen in any school I've been to. I still wonder about scissors though...

He's probably in the Al Queda Kids Club. It's kinda like the Burger King Kids Club, only there's bloody murder involved, and no coloring books or hamburgers.

Read the whole article. It's the mom blowing this way out of proportion. The boy was told not to bring the toy to school again, the principal talked to his parents about it, and that was the end of that. The school didn't even punish him. No expulsion, suspension, detention, or even time in the corner. The mom wants to sue the school despite the fact that there was no real disciplinary action taken against her son.

As moms said, call the police if it's that big of an issue.

He could of killed all of the other kids' toys & the school's pets with that! I hope they throw him in a dungeon!

 

[Alex The Great]

used properly, that gun could bring upon the zombie apocolypse

He's probably in the Al Queda Kids Club. It's kinda like the Burger King Kids Club, only there's bloody murder involved, and no coloring books or hamburgers.

But oddly enough, there's still a paraplegic kid.

The kid is obviously a beta tester for the Noisy Cricket guns.

On a serious note. I have decided to not have kids. There is no way I am bringing a child in to this fear obssessed sad world.

 

[Paradyme]

I wonder what the caliber of bullet it holds.

O right. You of all people should know there's not a lot you can do with two inches.

Bomb vests with every kids meal.

Maybe the principal was expecting something . . . bigger. . . and when her "dissapointment" was unbearable she took it out on the poor boy. . .

Yep! Agree 1000%! And becuase of the attention this is getting, the school will settle when she finally does sue.
