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!

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...
That lost eh?
The term you are looking for is : mince.
Poofery hover...lol, that leaves nothing to the imagination.
Is it something in the water?

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.

But remember... Al Quaida is on the run. We have been assured. oBozo wouldn’t lie to us.
