Zero-tolerance run amok.

[NavyCanDo]

Boy have things gone crazy. When I was in High School in the late 1970’s it wasn’t unusual to see in the student parking lot pick-up trucks with hunting rifles ready for the weekend hunting trip, or to shooting practice with the Schools gun club, which we had. We never thought twice about it.

[USNBandit]

The school and the sheriff's office disagree on the reason for the arrest.

Two government entities fighting over which can overreact more to a non-event.

Get old sparky warmed up.

Surely Child Protective Services will now want to inspect the parents home for more unsecured deadly steak knives.

SWAT needs to be called in.

Note my tag line.

[SF Republican]

She now faces a felony charge after being arrested - it is a felony to have a steak knife?

[Wolfie]

“Zero Tolerance” is amok by definition. Everybody cheers it at first, cuz we’re gonna kick some “bad guy” ass. And then the reality of it sets in.

All that she needed to say was that she wanted to use it on George Bush. Not only would she have escaped punishment, but the publik scewl teechurz would have given her all A’s this year.

In the early 70s I wore a 4” Buck folding hunter on my belt to school every day.

Never once thought of it as a weapon, and nobody every asked me about it.

Her true crime: Real meat on a school campus

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Arrested for brandishing a deadly weapon?

At there's no report of her being tazered in the following assault.

For the love of G_d, if you care for your children and there's any way this side of the grave you can possibly do it. Home School them!

"And we didn't handcuff her or treat her like a criminal. But, we took her to the assessment center to be assessed," said Capt. James Pogue, Marion County Sheriff's Office.

I assess that there's a lot of dumb***es running this place.

If I was the father, I'd cuss out the sheriff and tell him what I think of him and his department.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[trailboss800]

This scripture comes to mind:

Matt 10:28

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

This little girl need not be feared (even if she brought the knife with evil intent, which I’m sure she did not), but we should fear the teachings of the liberal. The liberal’s father is the lord of this world. Following such teachings leads to a life of darkness and death. I offer the Clinton’s as proof...

"That's not a knife...."

I hope they tased the little hoodlum. /s

See what I posted here the other day about this garbage.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Zero tolerance is nothing more than pre-conditioning for a huge central government that runs everything, just like the old USSR.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Fascist oppression is what happens when liberals get into power.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Zero tolerance just means lazy. They are un-willing to use the brain God gave them.
