#1 Ohio is so permissive, so Sharia-lite. Their Devon cousins would have insisted upon a public amputation.

#2 Would the boy have done better if he had used his middle finger for pointing? The left side of the country (ideologically speaking) is so brainwashed by the anti-gunner's agenda to disarm the country. They will only be happy when they have everyone subjugated under the boot of tyranny.

#8 Zero Tolerance Is Ruining The Joy Of Childhood

#9 "Alternative Elementary School"? In my experience, the kid is there because he's been a problem in the non-Alternative school.

I suspect that the teacher sees this as a expression of the culture he's being raised in (outside the school) and doesn't see any way to head it off, except this.

Big mistake. At 10, this boy is still somewhat malleable, and a session with him and the friend who got "shot" with a trained psychologist familiar with this kind of dysfunctional culture would do a lot more good.

I'm as sensitive to the demonizing of gun- culture as anyone, but I'm also aware that gang-bangers are made, not born, and that the mistake the school made was not doing something about what may be a desensitizing incident, but what they did.

#11 Cheeze and Rice, back in the 50's early 60's we played all kinds of stuff at recess from cowboys to cops and robbers, army, and Civil War. The educational system is warped.

#13 Me and 3-4 of my brothers used to run around the house with long pointy sticks playing 'Guns' - shooting each other!

It was great fun!
