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.)

It’s probably mostly crate dust.
Probably.

“The Revolution had high level help...”

That could be interesting...

...as long as the eventual theory doesn’t involve Freemasonry, Lizard People, The Illuminati, or anyone surnamed Rothschild.

“Freemasonry, Lizard People, The Illuminati, or anyone surnamed Rothschild.”

Not as far as i can tell.
It was my Dad that spotted it last year.
“’ear take a butchers at this....”
“Er....Wow, this will take a bit of unravelling!”
“Yeah ,good luck with that...”

Will spill as soon as i’ve checked the data at Chatham ,again. :)
There is a lot of historical data to “support’ the possibility’.
As i say, it will remain a theory and not provable.

I take it the Feline overlord does have a Cellphone.?

She has her own methods of communications, as do all the Feline Overlords. But If she had opposable thumbs, she most certainly would possess a cell phone..

someone may have tried to keep her.

I'm not so sure that is the reason. A more likely scenario is that she got shut in somewhere. Like for instance, in our neighbor-across-the-street's garage. Except that he has never mentioned finding her shut in there. (He drives truck and sometimes is gone for a day or three. When he's home the garage door is typically open a crack, but he shuts it totally when he leaves. Except there was no correlation with Smudge-be-gone and neighbor's last trip..)

We lost a husky once when he was allowed out, and normally he came right back in. This time, he didn’t. He was wearing a black leather harness. On my way to get Igor from work three days later, we stopped by the shelter and asked if they had him. They said no, but a truck was coming in and we were welcome to stop it and check.

We did. He said he didn’t have but one dog and it wasn’t a husky. I said, “Let us see what you have, then.” It was Rusty the husky...without his black harness.

Which is why I thought maybe someone wanted Smudge...
