This guy wasn't handcuffed and arrested.

We had a game called "Kill the man with the ball". The rules were complex. There was a ball, someone got it and tried to flee. We tackled and pummeled him until he dropped it, then someone else picked up the ball and the process started again. Actually those rules are not that complex now that I write them out.

I'm not saying we were geniuses or anything but it worked. Of course in modern public schools the game would be banned because "kill" is a banned word and "the man" is too binary-centric and exclusionary. "Ball" is probably offensive to someone too, so that's out. Let's just draw on the pavement with chalk. Oops, the state of california has determined that this chalk based product (and every other product made anywhere for any purpose) may cause cancer. Shoot. We'll just sit here quietly and wait for school to start.

Not unbelievable, just more liberal lunacy.

Get a very good attorney, and sue the Shiite out of these aholes. Enough already.

Along with locking down the school and sending ALERT! texts to all the parents?

RE:”According to the news outlet, the whole thing started when a fellow student asked the girl “if she could kill five people in the class, who would they be?” The girl then allegedly pointed her fingers in the shape of a gun at several other students in the class. The teacher sent her to the principal’s office, where the school resource officer recommended she be arrested.
She was eventually turned over to her mother and hearing in the Juvenile Division of the District Court of Johnson County is scheduled for Tuesday. The child’s family was reportedly told that if convicted of a felony, she could face up to a year in a juvenile detention center.

If that's all that happened I don't see a conviction, and the school deserves ridicule.

I don’t know of a school here in sacramento that allows dodge ball anymore.

Sure they do, they just call it "Basketball" now.

“and the provocateur .... ?”

Probably will receive a special scholarship for future educators. I would not at all be surprised to hear of a teacher giving this question as an essay assignment.

I live in fear daily. I live in California.

I don’t make fake guns at anyone. Not around this area.

Methinks this zero policy crap is just that.

Authorities want you to respect the state ..

and could care less who or why they destroy freedoms to make it happen.

PC world? Not even.

Welcome to the Global Gulag.

In context I can see the school requesting the parents take her for psych evaluation. But an arrest? No.

She needs to learn how to make the “Fake hand grenade” where you pretend to pull the pin and throw it. Right ther, there’s no evidence. With the girl, she still has her fingers for proof.
