Oh no, don't kill me with your finger:
3-4-2004 Georgia Student Suspended for Gun Gesture
A Gwinnett County 10-year-old was suspended from school for reportedly using his thumb and forefinger as a pretend gun. The school said Jonathan Motes violated its zero-tolerance weapons policy.
?I finished my work. I was bored. I was playing around and saying ?bam? in my hand I did this twice,? the fifth-grader said while forming a pretend gun with his fingers. He said he was aiming at the ceiling.
?The school called me and Dr. Brand said Jonathan?s being suspended for making a shooting motion with his hand,? the father said. ?She said he broke the zero-tolerance policy. He made a threatening gesture and it falls under zero-tolerance policy.?
Gwinnett County administrators were in staff meetings all day Wednesday and were not available for comment.
