[white trash redneck]

Why did the Irvington, NJ, police have to handcuff and arrest these boys for playing with paper...probably because it was folllowed by I'm going to kill you.

Kill you how? With a paper cut?

This hardly sounds like a credible threat from a second grader.

Nothing the educrats do nowadays surprises me, but I expect a little more judgment from the police.

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.
