HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT DISARMS GUNMAN…GETS SUSPENDED?
The Blaze ^ | Mar. 2, 2013 10:12am | Madeleine Morgenstern

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.

The 16-year-old Cypress Lake High student in Fort Myers, Fla. told WFTX-TV there was “no doubt” he saved a life after grappling for the loaded .22 caliber revolver being aimed point-blank at another student on Tuesday.

“I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there,” said the suspended student, not identified by WFTX because of safety concerns. “Not taking no pity.”

Let's argue this logically. WHY would school officials suspend the student who grabbed the gun? The only premise possible is that liberals want all of the guns so badly that they are upset because another needless death was prevented which does NOT fit the agenda of the leftists trying to take over the country and establish totalitarianism.

If indeed the perpetrator in this incident had killed the offending individual, it would have fit the leftist agenda perfectly. More calls could be made for gun control and one step taken in the direction of disarming the populace to prevent backlash from takeover. Anything that happens with a firearm that does not lead to that end result will be punished.

This leaves us with a reality that many have not come to see. The leftist element in government in all institutions is despotic and wants total control NOW. This leaves us with about four options:

1. Revolt - The populace, if it had the moral foundation, would realize what is happening, turn back to God and ask for His help and blessings, and reestablish principled government. Don't hold your breath for that one -- the moral foundation of the nation has just about collapsed. One thing many people are forgetting is this. Even if you got control of this country and you were a moral, upright person, how are you going to govern a nation of millions who have little or no moral foundation? The ONLY way to govern a people like that is with dictatorship. Most people with a righteous foundation do not have the stomach for ruling in that fashion at all. As my dad said all of his life, "People get the kind of government they deserve."

2. Endure and suffer - Live under the developing governmental situation and keep your mouth shut and your pen put away. This is going to be the only option for millions who have no way of enacting the third option. It is also scriptural: Amos 5:13 Therefore, at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.

3. Leave the country for some other country. Good luck finding a decent place to live without the corruption found here. We, like Babylon and Rome, have infected the entire world with our immorality.

4. Suicide. Kill your entire family and yourself so you don't have to go through the mess around you. The Jews at Masada chose this option to the consternation of the Romans but accomplished nothing but a footnote in history. Completely stupid action to take, but more and more people seem to be taking that option.

We keep wondering why foolish decisions are being made. The decisions are foolish to us, but completely rational to the people making them because it fits THEIR Satanic agenda.

Way to go, Florida. Cut school administrators by 50% for starters.

This incident shows that schools’ Zero Tolerance policies are the idiots’ way (and yes, I think most “educators” are idiots from the classroom teacher through the superintendent of schools. They tend to be well versed in how to teach and how to administer, but are lacking in what to teach and how to make decisions based on facts) of avoiding having to deal with real-life situations in a rational way.

My solution is simple. Step 1: Get people who want to improve education to run for the school board. Step 2: Elect those individuals as opposed to the ones who are in the pockets of the “education” establishment. Step 3: Have the new school board grill the existing Stupidintendent of Schools concerning his policies. Step 4: When the existing Stupidintendent of Schools cannot adequately defend his policies, fire him.

I'd bet dollars to doughnut holes that the gun-wielder is one of Eric Holder's people and the gun-taker is not.

The purpose of "Zero Tolerance" is to manufacture more offenses by non-blacks, because it's not fair that blacks get caught committing so many more offenses than non-blacks.

His crimes are obvious:
1) he stopped a shooting
2) He saved a kid from being killed.

Liberals love shootings and dead kids. It helps them push their political agenda forward.”

Yup, It spoiled another chance for them to get their gun ban pushed

The only way this institutional madness will stop is when the cost of punishing the innocent becomes so high that the government drones will stop committing their own crimes in the name of preventing crimes. The principal needs to be sued and hounded into oblivion. The parents of the innocent suspended student need to do more than sue, they need to hire PIs to go through the Principal’s background and follow him around to find out his darkest secrets and publicize them for all to see.

“Another case of IDIOTS being in charge.”

I’d have to disagree. They are insane and following an agenda that’s been laid out for them.

The criminal was clearing willing to wait for the police.
Do-gooders are the real enemy. How dare he disarm someone who hasn't shot anybody.

>>>This is normal procedure for the protection of the three students that wrestled the gun away. While thy may be heroes you can bet that friends or family members of the gunman will take exception to their actions and want to retaliate.>>>

Exactly what I thought. And it’s sloppy reporting by the writer.

Sadly some of our fellow freepers have fallen into the liberal trap of making emotional reactionary responses up thread.
