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.)

Unngh!
There’s a stock model on deviantart that I once in a while inspire.
Someone at some point called her a fat cow.
Ticked me off to no end, she wondered why I bristled at that.

I don’t watch TV.

Not watching tv is a fantastic way to be.
The problem is there are so many history channels to watch now. Eeek

Have only been to LAX , Houston TX and NYC.
If they would all collect in one city it would make things so much easier...especially when done from orbit.

One does not simply “walk” into San Fran.
One either must wear armor plating, or flit above the ground in a poofery hover...

Pretty much.
Orbital strike happened once before.

British troops have withdrawn from their last FOB.
Remaining in Bastion until the end of the year.
The CO said : “they had accomplished the mission they set out to do in the region, with the local forces keeping the peace during the election.
This was a real poke in the eye for the Taliban”

Pretty certain the leadership has moved the goalposts on what constitutes success over there.
And we can thank weak sauce on our side of the pond for snatching ignominious shamewalk away from afghanistan from the jaws of crushing victory.
And the charlie foxtrot in Iraq.

Yeah, so on the run that they congregated openly in Yemen recently.
And then tried to kidnap two of our people.
