A Florida high school student wrestled a loaded gun away from another teen on the bus ride home this week and was slapped with a suspension in return.

The 16-year-old Cypress Lake High student in Fort Myers, Fla. told WFTX-TV there was “no doubt” he saved a life after grappling for the loaded .22 caliber revolver being aimed point-blank at another student on Tuesday.

“I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there,” said the suspended student, not identified by WFTX because of safety concerns. “Not taking no pity.”

He denied the left another bloody shirt to wave in their quest for gun control.

This is normal procedure for the protection of the three students that wrestled the gun away. While thy may be heroes you can bet that friends or family members of the gunman will take exception to their actions and want to retaliate.

Let's amend this to **Useful** Idiots.

What can you expect from K-12 schools that are the very definition of a GODLESS, socialist-entitlement, single-payer, compulsory,and government union-dominated program?

Every single school official involved in the matter of suspending the student(s) who took the gun away should be terminated following a hearing to establish participation in that process and then banned from public or private education for LIFE. No mercy. This stuff has to stop.

I would assume that it is currently in a police lab or evidence room.

I can see a suspension until the facts are gone over, but if the kid saved a life he should later be rewarded and his record of suspension removed, and a letter of commendation placed in it’s stead.

Here is again proof that the powers that be, are castrating the American male and turning them into sheep.This has to stop and the American male needs to act like a man or this country is indeed lost.

“The student, who Fox 4 has agreed not to identify because he fears for his safety, says there’s “no doubt” he saved a life by disarming the gunman. And for that he was suspended for three days.”

idiots in charge

Parents are still in charge of their childrens' education. If they send their children to public school, they are the idiots in charge.

I am just glad that that ‘GUN’ will not be allowed to kill anyone.

Yeah like that's going to happen? Maybe after his parents spend a few hundred in legal fees or after weeks and weeks of 'investigation'.
