I agree..
The sad part is that there are students bringing in "real" guns into the high school and nothing is being done about it. You never hear about this in the news.

I agree trash, there was no need to cuff an unarmed 8 yr. old whose weapon of choice probably went into the paper shredder. This boy did NOT commit any crimes, he was playing. Boys play like this every day.
This was an hysterical and wrong attempt to pander to the press and school board that Irvington means business when it comes to guns.
Herein lies the problem: many of the high schools in NJ, NYC, etc. have students who do in fact bring in handguns. But when they are caught, there are no press reports; everything is handled quietly behind the scenes in order to give the impression that the schools are safe, which they are not. If these kids are in special ed, not too much happens to them.

Any policeman willing to follow orders and arrest an 8-year-old child for pretend play has the same mentality as the dutiful Nazi's who stuffed innocent people in the gas chambers. Our country is ripe for unimaginable horrors. Beware!
To: Coleus
We had all kinds of toy guns We threw rocks at each other. (Simulated hand grenades.) Hurt when you got hit, too.
I guess by NJ standards, we should've done serious time in jail. Times have changed.

Times have changed.>>>
Yes they have, for the worse...More boys traumatized in the name of zero tolerance.

Timewise, I don't think I don't. We've been producing Woody Allen/Phil Donahue wimps instead of John Waynes for years. Any boy who doesn't conform mislabled as having attention deficit disorder or some other crap and is drugged.

When I was young, we used to fold paper guns that made a 'bang' sound when you rapidly jerked it through the air.
We also played 'war' and 'bounty hunter'. (Modified cops and robbers, kinda like no blood no foul basketball without the heavy pummeling.)
Can't be kids anymore.
And a zero tolerance policy seems more of a bullystick to try and keep people in line who don't fit the will of the 'collective'. (The Zero Sense policy..)
Stuff like this makes my blood boil.
Now these kids are going to have a permanent arrest record for playing with paper.
Fools, all of them. And the kids suffer for the whims of fools.

boys were taken to the principal's office, then arrested by police for making terroristic threats. >
Are schools are being run by incompetent liberals, afraid of their own shadows. The terrible thing is they are trying to teach the kids to be afraid of their shadows too.
Help support non-government schools!!! Let our children be educated.

To: Coleus
This nonsense gives me a great idea.
I'll watch TV and wait for my *favorite* liberal star to appear on the screen, looking into the camera, pointing a gun, and screaming death threats. Then I'll call the police and file a criminal complaint. I'll call my lawyers and file a multi-million dollar lawsuit for emotional trauma. After all, if paper guns constitute a viable threat, so due real guns on TV.

Gee, I guess the opening scenes to both the Toy Story movies are highly inapropriate.
Public schools - What a joke.

The Borg come out smelling rosy compared to the zero-tolerence crap happening in leftist indoctrination centers...er, I mean public schools.

I work in a school where youth have video taped a ball bat beating death and one had a screw driver driven through his eye into his brain. When these kids play and deliver a message like I'm going to kill you everybody listens.

Given a choice between the Borg, and the leftists teaching our kids these days, I'd choose the Borg.
