CBS/Washington D.C. ^ | May 7, 2013

SUFFOLK, Va. — Two Suffolk second graders have been suspended for making shooting noises while pointing pencils at each other.

Media outlets report the 7-year-old boys were suspended for two days for a violation of the Suffolk school system’s zero-tolerance policy on weapons. They were playing with one another in class Friday at Driver Elementary.

“When I asked him about it, he said, ‘Well I was being a Marine and the other guy was being a bad guy,’” said Paul Marshall, one of the boys’ fathers. “It’s as simple as that.”

I swear, I would be serving time next to Charley Mansion if I was a kid now. I pretended everything were guns.

Yep, we are punishing our seven-year olds if they even pretend to be playing with guns. The muzzies are giving their seven-year olds real assault rifles, teaching them to kill. On a slow day they are taught how to strap on a suicide vest and die along with the infidels. In twenty years it is going to be a blood bath.

Its an effort to eliminate the concept of guns from the children. They hope to prevent the next generation from knowing what a gun is.

“Some children would consider it threatening, who are scared about shootings in schools or shootings in the community,” Bradshaw said. “Kids don’t think about ‘Cowboys and Indians’ anymore, they think about drive-by shootings and murders and everything they see on television news every day.”

Sadly, we have allowed the TV to rob our children's innocence.

Eventually, the words “boys” and “girls” will be considered sexist and we will have to use the word “children.”

Obama, Cuomo, Emanuel come to mind...

When I was a boy we used the ubiquitous cap gun. We “shot” at each other: played war games (WWII still raged), cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians. Cries of: “You’re dead!” rang out, answered by a just as loud: “No I’m not, you missed me!” Very few of us became killers.

God forbid that boys actually behave like boys! When I was a child, okay when I was young, we played army and Cowboys and Indians(not the kind that burn incense and eat curry) all the time, in school and at home. Hell we threw hand grenades(dirt clods) and everything! The wusification of America has got to stop! Dear God what are we turning our boy’s into?

But Suffolk Public Schools spokeswoman Bethanne Bradshaw said a pencil is considered a weapon when it’s pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made.

No, you pathetic putrid piece of dog-squeeze.

A pencil is considered a weapon when an American Patriot jams it into some petty tyrant's throat, eye socket, or temple.

Jus' sayin' ...

If you’re not right on with this, you’re mighty close.

I came across this photo in this discussion:

Caption: "In Dagestan, school teacher Magomed teaches his 2 year old nephew how to hold their family AK"

The US children instead are taught how to hold a dildo correctly.
