The police state arrests 12 year old boy

[KriegHund]

The district issued a written statement, which said: "The dangers of illegal drugs and controlled substances are clear.

I issue a written statement to you morons-

"The dangers of a paranoid over-controlling society are clear"

When will the idiocy end!

Im to angry to continue/

"As stupid as zero tolerance is how stupid do you have to be to blatantly violate it."

Ha. That's so true. Sad, but true.

Now, if the principal and a couple of cops had each snorted a couple of lines they would have known it was sugar. Then again, it might have been rat poison.

I smell a huge lawsuit and the school board losing bigtime!

And that means what, that he is too stupid to be cross examined???

Just a hunch.
Unless the janitor is working his way through Ed-school.

And which one of those constitutes in the school disciplinary action that I wrote about?

Well, that's the problem. You didn't. Would you advocate expulsion? In-school suspension? Writing, "I shall not bring sugar in a baggy again" 1,000 times?

Where have I sentenced anybody to anything and where has a butter knife been even mentioned?

If one is going to discuss Z-T stupidity, one must be aware of the specific instances (suspension for butter knife being one such example).

.And are you stupid enough to allow your child to do it now and not expect some repercussions.
And unless you were in school last week then your comment is pointless.

Being able to "expect" repercussions does not make the repercussions justified. It is merely an intellectual bow to brute force of government and B.Ed graduates.

In toto, my comment is not pointless at all. It serves to show how far Ed.gov has gone into the toilet. I would expect no repercussions for sugar in a Ziplock bag. I would expect no repercussions if the student off-handedly joked that the sugar was actually cocaine. Now, if he were actually selling the sugar as cocaine, that's a different matter.

As far as guns in schools, heck, I'm trying to get Hschool highpower rifle teams started up. I'd have no problem with Joey bringing his gun to school for hunting or target practice. Here are some old and recent example here:

Read the article again and my comments. No punishment was given or advocated for bringing sugar to school. How non reading comprehensive

What on Earth are you talking about? The kids was suspended for two weeks. He was arrested and charged with a felony (five years of probaton). You said there should be "repercussions."

Two other boys asked if the bag contained cocaine

That the charge is for him saying "Yeah. Just kidding" when a couple of boys asked if it was cocaine doesn't make the actions of these government officials any less stupid.

I'm done with you, Joab. You're a waste of my time.

You mean the democratically-elected government chosen by the people of Colorado right? That would be one of the important differences between a police state and a non-police state.

Don't blame me. I voted for the lesser of two evils.

On the proverbial "bright side," I'd say the lad has probably learned some very important, fundamental lessons about American government and education.
