CHARLESTON, W.Va. A criminal charge has been dismissed against a West Virginia middle school student who refused a teacher's order to remove a National Rifle Association T-shirt he wore to school.

Logan County Circuit Judge Eric O'Briant signed an order dismissing an obstruction charge Thursday against 14-year-old Jared Marcum stemming from an April 18 incident at Logan Middle School.

Marcum was charged after a police officer told him to stop talking, but the studen

Thanks, ExSoldier. I’ll check it out.

God is patient, isn’t He? Only God would or could put up with all this.

No man is going to fix the mess the world is in. He will and He will do it in His way.

That is one great site. So much good info and very comprehensive. Thanks very much, ExSoldier.

I bet the requirement for dropping the charges was that neither he nor his parents sue.

When you hear an agreement like that, doesn't it mean that you have a good case?
But even if that is what the agreement was, they could press for criminal charges.

If this is justice, then I want none. A pig in a blackrobe acting like the grand poubaa for dismissing a non issue case against a 12 year old kid. The black robes, the govt lawyers using law enforcement to attack little kids, who are btw, US citizens, while giving free passes to alien criminals invading our country in an all out attack on citizen taxpayers. This is what our so called justice system has become.

You're very welcome! Anything for a brother or sister in Christ. I think that we're literally teetering on the edge and it won't be long until we receive that call to join HIM in the clouds. With some help from MamaDearest, I finally overcame my brain freeze and remembered how to do HTML. Lessee....

RAPTURE READY?

Unbelievable how these kinds of things can just slip away...

I couldn’t agree more.

His First Amendment Rights have been violated. That is grounds for a civil suit as well.

NRA?........just a guess............

I was being sarcastic...I support them in my heart not with my wallet....I’m too poor

Their house, their rules.

Whose house?

Hired help in my house, to educate my children.

[AtlasStalled]

Charges dropped . . . after first intimidating the poor kid! I hope the kid sues.

His First Amendment Rights have been violated. That is grounds for a civil suit as well.

Indeed the egregious violation of First AND Second Amendment rights offers the possibility of not only civil action under 42 USCS 1983 and criminal action under 18 USCS 241/242, but an excellent possibility of charges against the school corporation under 18 USCS 1961, particularly Section 1512 (b) and Section 1513.

I wonder how much the total dollar value is of the school administration's property holdings, including buildings and other facilities, the amount of their salaries, and any securities, bonds or investments controlled by the corporation.

And, of course, the Marcum family may not be the only aggrieved parties in the matter....

Love that song! It was one of the first I ever played. There’s one more verse...

Oh, the time is coming fast
And the day is nearly past,
When each yeoman shall be cast aside before us;
And if there be a need then my sons will sing Godspeed
With a verse or two from Brendan Beehan’s chorus.

It would be interesting to see if anyone involved has the cajones to levy violations to this section of the US Code against the Teacher, Principal, Police Officer...

A nice little package if you ask me...And let the burn be on them to defend against it...I wouldn’t worry one bit about any legal minds stating that this would be over stepping anything either...

The people involved should have just let it go...But that’s the bed they made, its time for them to lay in it...

[Old Rider]

I think Jared got his at Cabellas.

[Old Rider]

No such agreement was made. Plans for a civil suit are in the works.

[Old Rider]

Their house, still under U.S. laws, and there was no rule banning T-shirts with any elements that were on Marcum’s shirt. Trying to make up a rule in order to silence a person exercising his or her civil rights is a specific violation of federal law; look up “Deprivation of civil rights under the color of law or authority.”

[Old Rider]

That’s exactly what happened. That’s why the DA was trying for an emergency gag order. That didn’t work, and their case folded within hours. Everyone was watching, and they couldn’t demand a closed court because of a juvenile after Jared’s mom signed a waiver.
