I found this hilarious and creepy at the same time. Kind of old, but in my day, we got sent home and suspended for a week. Seems Gestapo to me to arrest him for this.

I don't know.

My brother in law used to pass gas that I would consider ‘Attempted Murder’.

They have to arrest a kid for farting and playing a prank? What a bunch of effing lightweights in publik skool.

A fine lesson they are teaching about the power and intolerance of the state ...

Breaking wind and turning off a computer gets you busted?

These people are idiots.

The kid doesn’t like school; he will end up a mechanic or a plumber or something like that, and when a “professional” such as a schoolteacher needs his services to handle a situation they know nothing about, he will gouge the sh** out of them. That’s the way it is in the human comedy.

Shame on the cops who made the arrest....

[pfflier]

You have got to be in the classroom with ‘em before you can believe how nasty some of them can be.

Like your tag...’redistributed’ .....It isn't logic is it!
But when it comes to liberals what's logic got to do with it?
On the thread ... Ahmed the dead terrorist complained of a serious gas problem as well (very funny).

I did not know that passing gas would turn off a computer.

Public Schools are very much like State Prisons these days, to me it is the only solution the State has, total control, total power, no deviations allowed or you will go to jail.

That's one powerful raspberry.

I thought I read somewhere else he tipped over some tables or something and the teachers could not control him, that’s why the police got involved. The farting part is why the press took interest.

A school resource officer placed the boy under arrest after he confessed about his behavior, according to the report. He was charged with disruption of school function and released to his mother.

It doesn't sound like he was hauled off to jail in handcuffs. It sounds more like the big security guy just took him down to the office while they waited for his mother. The title of this article seems to be somewhat misleading, at least from what I read.

Not too long ago my kid got two day detention for saying “Thats gay”. I went to school talked to the principle,nothing was going to change. So as I left I told him I thought his policies were “Gay.” I can still see the look on his face!

[RichInOC]

Awesome.

STUART — A student at Spectrum Junior-Senior High School was arrested earlier this month after he passed gas and turned off his classmate’s computers, according to a report released Friday by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the report, the incident occurred Nov. 4, when the 13-year-old boy “continually disrupted his classroom environment” by purposely breaking wind. He then shut off some computers other students were using.

A school resource officer placed the boy under arrest after he confessed about his behavior, according to the report. He was charged with disruption of school function and released to his mother.

He was charged with disruption of school function and released to his mother.

Sounds like some made-up "crime" to me.
