link didnt work for me

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Link fixed. Why the Hell does it always add an extra http:// when I make a link?

ya, they really can't get a handle on this issue.

at the very opposite extreme some middle school kids were firing PAINTBALLS from Paintball guns (obviously) and all they got was 2 days suspension from school. they are firing the paintballs at people at school.

 

[Fangorn]

This is absolutely ludicrous.

Michigan has issues.

<< Michigan has issues. >>



It's this fsking weather. It freezes our brains or something.

no flame, but a bit late

 

[Lucky]

sounds like the kid stood up to some bullies. Good for him for having the balls to do so, if that was the case.

 

[PlatinumGold]

ya, but this thread has the better title.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Yeah, a whole 7 minutes. And with such a descriptive title like that how could I have missed it?

put the child in prison and throw away the key. who needs childhood these days?

 

[DAWeinG]

Oh ya why not charge the whole town with that assault? I'm pretty sure that everyone there has never pointed a toy gun to anyone in their whole life

That town gets my vote for the most stupid act of mankind of the century...

 

[bigben]

Agreed on the title issue.

 

[Ns1]

but my titel was so much more interesting =P

Geesh, I can't remember how many times I pointed toy guns at kids, or played cops and robbers, or played Army, hell, anything that involved toy guns.

These kids are 7 and 6 for crying out loud. Don't the adults up there have any semblence of a brain, or a past childhood, or the fact that kids at age 7 are NOT mature individuals. They are kids, and will do irrational things, and that's a part of growing up, but filing criminal charges for this. This proves my theory that the world is going to hell in a handbasket, kids can't be kids without getting criminal charges placed on them.

<< "The police department must investigate allegations of any type of criminal offense," >>



And as we all know, pointing a toy gun at someone is very serious criminal offense.



<< Tommy Davis is charged with three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. >>



Damn those dangerous toy gun weapons.


Yep.. this is as dumb as it can get, my whole office is laughing at their stupidity 😀 :|

Rarely do I feel embarrassed to call myself an American... at least I'm not from Michigan.

In Iowa, just pointing a toy gun at someone can be considered Assault. When I lived in Missouri a 14yr old shot me in the back with a pellet gun. I couldn't even have him charged with assalt even though the polic took a picture of the bruise.
