America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.
Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)
oh well, it was just one battle ... regroup but don’t retreat.

This month we're reading the news and asking questions that need to be asked..
Like, what the devil is a "level 2 lookalike firearm" and how much damage can it do?
1d5 Psy damage on low Cog level opponents, in case you were curious
Wipe your feet, be polite, and be sure to thank Impala64ssa for lending us their thread!

Hi! Let me get Fredhelp up to speed, and we’re good to go, Darks!
Thank You!!!
He’s up to something.
Hey! Thanks for the use of the thread!!!
At the moment, he’s keeping up with us in the move. We were most happy to see the Baldwin truck, told us to pack up quick. But he’s pretty intent on biting running water. Just loves that, can do it for hours on end. This is when I think there are a lot of synapses misfiring. Kitten.
Nope ... Jute Box ....
Oh, good. Here we are!
Now I’m going out, but I’ll be back later to add penguins and stuff.
When I break out the UT guacamole, I’ll be sure to invite you. You may have Tax-chick’s share, ‘cause she hates green stuff (’cept spinach).
Thank you for the invite, my friend.
Answer: Of course. It's in Demonrat country where the poor deceased will continue to vote for years hence..
