Boy Suspended for Pointing Finger Like Gun

America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.

Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)

Yes, Cyber. I remember ... May the Wild Angels be there.

Great news that Piper is back! I wasn’t worried, since I didn’t know she was missing, but pleased she’s back.

I just knew it would work out like this. :-D

I have not had occasion to ponder what a wriggling angry towel like creature would eat.
Who knows, maybe they normally eat lichen and algae but found that wallpaper and wallpaint tastes better?

[Tax-chick]

Thank you!

LOL

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I liked the guy who came out and said as much.

/ conspiracy hat on.
Actually, it’s some fully operational battle station in space, and using airliner tech known only to L. Ron Hubbard, they dragged the airliner to the space station!
/ end bizarre ranting

[Darksheare]

Nope.
I did.
To the X’rth.

I don’t know if you’re on Facebook, or if you’re “friends” of Laz, but you really need to be.

[Darksheare]

Laz has a standing invite to hang out with the Undead Thread anytime he wishes.
I get to hear all kinds of crazy at my civilian world job.
One of which is that we have a space station weapon platform up there.
Kind of a “it’s no moon” thing apparently.
I don’t use Facebook though.

Management frowns upon it...In the sense that they frown upon people donating money in the FReepathon. Like that.
