Why are children still allowed to have fingers? And at school, no less! Where were her parents?

Yes, Overland Park, Kansas and it is Bat poop Crazy.

What they should have done, if anything, is talk to the girl about the rules against threats of any kind. A felony charge for this? The adults who did this should be fired.

Same here. Grew up in a Northern city and we would run around the neighborhood with our arsenal of plastic lever actions, sniper rifles, machine guns, pistols, etc. We would ‘shoot’ each other and if you got shot you’d have to count to 10 Mississippi or something. Bonus points if you had a cap gun and could make ‘real’ gun sounds.

Don’t believe any of us later became psycho killers. None of the neighbors had a fainting spell seeing us, or felt the need to call the police. They probably just enjoyed seeing lots of kids playing together...

Lemme see if I got this straight, middle finger, OK. Masturbating hand gestures, OK. Any hand gesture simulating sex acts, OK. Making a gun sign with your hand, NOT OK. Nor is the OK sign. Its sick out there and getting sicker!! All I know is if I ever flashed a middle finger in school I would’ve ended up with an ass whopping by the time I got home.

We would play cowboys and Indians (that’s RACIST!!), army, cops and robbers with water pistols. Our moms would admonish us in no uncertain terms TO NEVER point our toy guns at strangers or cops. Yet we grew up with a healthy respect for real firearma.

My middle daughter received a 3 day suspension for making a threat to another girl who was being a bitch. She told her that “life was like a wheel and one of these days you’ll get whats coming to you.”

That was the last day she graced their halls as a student. And we live way out in the dirt part of Kansas.

"That was the last day she graced their halls as a student. And we live way out in the dirt part of Kansas."

"Dirt" part or "city" part... There is no difference in government schools... They are uniformly bad, as are the so-called "teachers" (who are really highly trained propagandists)...

Instead of families (who have incarcerated their offspring in these indoctrination asylums) complaining, they should shut up and be happy that they aren't being jailed for criminal child endangerment...

Until neighborhoods of free citizens re-establish a public school system controlled by the neighborhood parents, the Nation's young, for the most part, are irrecoverably lost... Instead of things like "Future Farmers of America" we now turn out "Future Antifa Disciples of America"... Or worse...

“I think that this is something that probably could have been handled in the principal’s office


Yes, it shouldhave. The questions is why didn’t it.

The answer is that no one will take responsibility so they kick it up stairs to be handled. Having said that, if you do handle it locally and then something happens, then YOU are the guilty one because you didn’t tell authorities.

“Her grandfather, Jon Cavanaugh, insisted the girl did not have access to real guns and “was just mouthing off.”

You just know grandpa and Daddy will have knocks on their doors with warrants to search the homes for any firearms for confiscation. Red flag laws appears to cover all family members and any premises they may have access to.

If I were the parent, I’d be in jail for beating up the person who called the police.

The “dirt part of Kansas” should be a good place for kids. Sorry to hear it has the same BS in schools.

12, huh? Looks like the fatties want to get her into the juvenile detention school for victims of human trafficking before she gets older.

The only person responsible for committing a crime is the person who commits a crime, and that girl did not commit any crime. The girl didn’t hurt anyone. Everyone knows that, including those who run the game of fake extreme sensitivity out of their addiction to control. Such manipulative people are psychopaths supported by the corrupt, socialist, anti-family state.

So what can a family do when dealing with a prick cop like this one?

Crap like this is why police get bashed on FR.

So Kate Steinle’s illegal immigrant killer gets off scot free for killing someone with an actual gun.

But this girl is arrested for a finger gun.

Beyond insanity

At my Catholic school back in the 60s, we did something like that daily. DAILY. Jeez, the school would have been emptied of boys before the midmorning recess.

Thank you to the NEA and the American left for losing all common sense.
