Mobile Middle School Student Holding Gun In School Bathroom Under Investigation

A middle school student from Mobile, Alabama, is shown holding a revolver in a school bathroom. The picture has gone viral. The photo was taken sometime before September 11, 2018. From mynbc15.com:

MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) — A photo of a Mobile middle school student allegedly depicting the student with a gun in a school restroom is under investigation by Mobile police.

The picture was posted on Facebook on Thursday October 11th 2018.

The photo was a allegedly taken inside a bathroom at Chastang-Fournier K-8 in the Trinity Gardens neighborhood of Mobile.

The image was well focused on the revolver. Whoever made the picture did a good job. School officials and police have identified the people in the image. The student who was holding the revolver is no longer a student in the Mobil Public Schools.

Because the picture is well focused, several interesting details are apparent. The revolver appears to be a high quality, if well used, Smith & Wesson model 36. We cannot be certain, as this common and well thought of revolver has been widely copied throughout the world. The odds are it is a genuine Smith & Wesson, however.

The revolver is loaded. Look at the chambers of the revolver cylinder on the left as you look at the picture. Peering into the chambers, you see the glimmer of bullets in the two chambers, indicating the revolver was loaded at the time of the picture.

In many rural schools, bringing a gun to school was not a big deal.

Centralization of schools, busing, and the spread of criminal culture has changed that.

Well, at least little Thug Moron Jamal has his finger off the trigger while pointing at the cameraman...

Ooops, wait I said camera”man”... it could have been a “camera-ze”. or “camera-zir” or “camera-it”.

I can’t tell the hammer position, but the young thug shows good trigger control.

He’s stupid but not as stupid as the future cadaver standing behind the camera

The revolver is not actually pointed at the camera-person.

That school’s restroom is a prison waiting room.

But... but... he’s “turning his life around” and “getting ready for high school...”

Never mind those 158gr lead round nose .38spl rounds pointed at your face, he’s a “Good Boy”...

Oops.. wait... I said “boy”... “He’s a good non-gender specific, non-minority-identified cisgendered intersectional progressive yute from a disadvantaged, oppressed, aggrieved, victim group...”

They are turning their lives around, don’t worry about them, these gun-free zones are dangerous so of course they are armed. /s

Should that give anyone comfort?

That wasn’t fair of the media to darken that photo.

And what kind of “investigation” ? It’s a damned PHOTO. Are all the kids in this school afflicted with a bad case of blurry-face ?

I think this is pretty open and shut.

It’s close enough to be stupid.

When I was 18 or so, me and some friend were camping and took a similar photo of us all pointing guns at the camera.

We used unloaded guns, a tripod and a timer.

Close enough for government work.

In the same way that if it was pointed directly at the camera, he could miss anyway; it could be pointed slightly away, and he could score a hit.

Ammoland doesn’t know their weapons. That is clearly not a Model 36. It may be a Model 60.

The Model 36 is blued steel, whereas the Model 60 is stainless steel. That is a stainless steel gun, not a nickel plated gun.

"In many rural schools, bringing a gun to school was not a big deal."

To a point. I grew up in a rural school and yeah, a shotgun or dear rifle in the back window of a student's pick-up was so unremarkable that it wouldn't be noticed. Carrying a concealed snub-nose revolver on you in school would have been a different matter altogether and would have been considered a "bid deal" at my school.

This is just stupid beyond belief.

Does anybody really expect these kids to grow up and be anything other than thugs, rappers or pimps?
