Boy Suspended for Pointing Finger Like Gun
Newser ^ | 3/4/14 | Kate Seamons

Posted on 03/04/2014 8:26:45 AM PST by Impala64ssa

America's kids have been suspended for pretending that pencils were guns, but an Ohio school may have topped that. A 10-year-old student at a Columbus elementary school was handed a three-day suspension for making a finger gun and pretending to shoot a classmate. The suspension letter more formally referred to his weapon as a "level 2 lookalike firearm," reports the Columbus Dispatch. Devonshire Alternative Elementary School's principal says students have been frequently told not to play pretend gun games, with a district rep saying kids were warned consequences would follow.

Those consequences hit hard last week for fifth-grader Nathan Entingh, who says he was "just playing around"; the rep said Nathan pretended to shoot another student "kind of execution style" in the head. And the "victim" didn't even see the mock execution, which was instead spotted by a teacher. Nathan's dad seems dumbfounded: "It would even make more sense maybe if he brought a plastic gun that looked like a real gun or something, but it was his finger." (Almost exactly a year ago, a Georgia teacher was suspended over a finger gun of his own.)

Thank you for lending us your thread Impala64ssa.

If you have any extra heat where ever you are, could you send some up this way? I’d thank you for that too!

I have a grandson who just turned one. It’s nice watching my daughter and her husband raise him, while I just enjoy the fun visits!

And now you know that you can point your finger at a liberal in Ohio and then roll a 1d5 for Psy damage on them.

I’d say this is out of control, except that our side doesn’t seem to be in control of anything anymore.

If Fluffy waves his flipper at you and says, "Pow!," is that a class-three lookalike weapon?
