US: Boy "fires" imaginary bow and arrow during school. Gets suspended and now faces expulsion due to - Polidicks

Oh come on, for fuck sakes, a fucking imaginary [I]BOW[/I]? Did he just happen to become dragonborn and summon a bound bow or something?

i've mentioned this before but i almost got suspended for firing an imaginary handgun at some passerby while i was sitting bored in the hallway back in elementary school never forget the imaginary massacre of '90something

did this all happen at a school for mimes? :v:

In sixth grade, some kid accused me of beating him with a wrench. When I got dragged down to the office to be interrogated by the administration (seriously, they pinned me against the wall and stood so close I couldn't move) I pointed out that if I had beat him with a wrench like he said, he'd probably be dead. Admins called my parents in, who asked to see proof that I had done anything, and I was immediately suspended for 3 weeks. [sp] Good end however. The admins later called us up and explained that the kid's family held a pretty huge financial chunk of the school, (I went to a private school) and while they knew the whole thing was bullshit, they couldn't afford to lose the funding. I got a free 3 week vacation right before christmas break, the 'suspension' never went on any record, and the kids parents thought they had gotten justice.[/sp]

You all laugh now but wait until this fucker takes over the system [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mamy9hxML71rb8fpgo1_500.gif[/img]

This is taking Zero Tolerance too far. I'm lucky to have dodged this one by graduating before it came into effect but now I have to deal with this shit if I ever have kids? No. Fuck that.

That'll teach those kids to stop acting like kids, they need to realize they're in school to take tests for funding, that shit isn't to be taken lightly!

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;43267902]The fuck was that kid's problem?[/QUOTE] He was spoiled, rich, didn't like me and was probably a little mental to boot.

[QUOTE=deadoon;43266796]Wait, what. In middle school for PE we had archery as one of the sections, the only thing watered down was the dull arrows(which still had metal tips). Nobody complained about it, even though there were more than a couple incidents involving the string scraping someones forearm due to bad form.[/QUOTE] Our school has a fucking highschool trap and skeet team, with real shotguns and clay pigeons.

Because "We need to teach kids that guns are bad. They are never good, and can never be good or safe. We should also not teach them firearm safety because they should never touch or see a gun ever in their lives." Yeah. Welcome to politics in elementary schools.......

Shit like this reminds me how much I like my school. We have a legitimate ARCHERY club. With completely not-imaginary bows and not-imaginary arrows. Shit's neat.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;43269482]Yeah. Welcome to politics in elementary schools.......[/QUOTE] It's not a debating situation for them, they just do it because they know they can get away with it.

[QUOTE=lolo;43269840]It's not a debating situation for them, they just do it because they know they can get away with it.[/QUOTE] that's awesome. archery is fun as hell. i wish i had enough money to pursue the hobby in a more serious fashion.

I once needed to bring this to school for a photo project: [img]http://puu.sh/5UHhR.png[/img] It's an authentic looking air rifle. All I had to do was ask the administration if it was okay, and they were like "sure just don't point it at people and scare them" Still felt a little odd when I came walking through the halls on the school with this in my hands, but other students were probably just thinking "Oh it's just a media student."

I don't even have a trenchcoat :v: [editline]o[/editline] But yeah, even after the Breivik incident we trust eachother a ton here. Because we don't want Breivik to change Norway in that way.

Man how things have changed since I have been in school I used to doodle different guns on tests and schoolwork and I had one teacher who was a gun nut who would identify them and give me a smiley face. Even the other teachers didn't care. These days I would probably be thrown in jail and checked into a psych ward to see if I am a murderer... Hell me and my friends in middle school used to have pretend shootouts in the courtyard at school and the teachers would laugh. I am glad I got to be a kid when I was a kid.

Some day in the future, we're gonna have kids expelled from entire school districts just for [I]thinking[/I] about firearms.

[QUOTE=paul simon;43269872]I don't even have a trenchcoat :v:[/QUOTE] i would have bought a trenchcoat just for the occasion.

Oh another thing. The US is sort of contradictory in this, because big parts of the place does revolve a lot around guns and gun rights. Many kids will grow up with parents that are gun enthusiasts, and hear that everyone supports guns etc. But then they come to school, and then they're expected not to mimick or acknowledge the fact that they grew up with guns being a part of their life. Kids learn by mimicking, but now it's suddenly wrong because of paranoid schools.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;43269870]were you wearing a trenchcoat? i know i would have been tempted to wear a trenchcoat.[/QUOTE] Somebody in a trenchcoat is always trouble. I mean, think about who wears them: Spies, school shooters, flashers, loose-cannon detectives, neckbeards, counterfeit watch salesmen.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;43269888]Some day in the future, we're gonna have kids expelled from entire school districts just for [I]thinking[/I] about firearms.[/QUOTE] That won't happen. How will they recruit kids into the army then?

[QUOTE=Omali;43266335]Yes. Public grade schools have a heavy tendency to be administrated by complete morons, I've noticed. I worked in the library when I was in high school and we were told that the superintendent wanted us to change the sign that said "library is closed after 3:30pm" and change it to "library is open until 3:30pm" because she thought that the word closed was too negative and unwelcoming to students. Seriously. They thought people would think "I'd like to go to the library, oh wait it says closed after 3:30, that's kinda negative, I don't have any motivation anymore."[/QUOTE] But it's not a library, it's a [i]learning resource centre![/i] One of my unis pulls that shit. I honestly don't know why. Everyone just calls it the library.

This deserves a million facepalms. Really? This shits getting way out of hand, you could do shit like this 3 or so years ago and no one would give a fuck, now you can't even make gestures that look like guns cause that obviously means the kid is going to shoot the school up..fucking idiots in this country.

Authetic Looking Air Rifle because it IS an air rifle.

One time, my U.S. History teacher called up the office because he was concerned that I had said that Hitler wasn't actually such a bad artist. Luckily, nobody up there gave a shit.

This can't be serious... is this an onion article.... :downs:
