I suppose it is naive of me to expect more from someone simply because they wear a uniform, but hellfire and damnation, can someone explain to me what the entire fuck happened to common sense?
Alandis’ gun was a “cap gun,” a toy cowboy six-shooter that his mother bought for him.
“We got it from Wal-Mart for $5.96,” Tosha Ford said, “in the toy section right next to the cowboy hats. That’s what he wanted because it was just like the ones he was studying for the Civil War” in his fifth-grade class at Fairview Elementary School.
“It kind of reminded me of the [soldiers'] guns that I was studying,” Alandis said, “because I had brought pictures home of the gun and stuff, and that gun that I had reminded me of the revolver” depicted in his textbook.
Tosha said that Wednesday afternoon, after school, “six police officers actually rushed into the door” of their home. “He [Alandis] opened the door because they’re police. And then they just kind of pushed him out of the way, and asked him, ‘Well where’s the gun, where’s the real gun?’ And they called him a liar… they booked him, and they fingerprinted him.”
There’s more, of course, the “terrorist” incidents spanning two days, wherein little 10 year old Whasisname established a climate of fear and domination over the entire neighborhood. Little girls dressed in bikinis brought him peanut butter sandwiches and icy cold milk, boys gave him their prized Pokemon card collections and their bicycles in tribute, and all the while King Alandis, supreme ruler of Elm Street, waved about his plastic Wal-Mart pistol, telling them they’d all most likely be dead by morning.
Wait…what? That’s NOT actually what happened? But…he was arrested! Printed! Charged with terroristic acts and threats! Surely he is a thug, a hoodlum, an evil, manipulative criminal mastermind!!!
No? Just a 10 year old kid? Surrounded by other 10 year old kids, all of whom pretty much exist to fuck with each other?
Nah, couldn’t be that. The little bastard is a terrorist, so let’s make sure we blow the incidient all out of proportion to reality, make national headlines, mouth platitudes designed to cover our asses, and otherwise all look like complete fucking jackasses. WIN!
This type of thing makes me sick to my stomach. Here is an entire generation of kids that seem to look at firearms as a plague to be avoided because they’ve been brainwashed by libtards that the 2nd Amendment is just words on paper. These same urban kids are going to be tomorrow’s gun grabbers. It’s just sad. However, my kids will be dead-eye marksmen, I guarantee it.

Newton Cty, GA is not exactly…mmm…literate. Mind you, I do wish mom would have had sense enough to tell him that toy stays home. But if I were her, he’d be immediately removed from that school.
Too bad one can’t also immed remove the school tax from ones indebtedness.

Thank God I was born in the last millennium. I’m truly glad that this shit didn’t fly when I was in school, or I’d be institutionalized for life. If you needed to know why your children should be home-schooled, here it is. Fucking sheep have turned their own children into little punk-ass snitches and informants, scared of their own shadows…or ALLOWED them to be turned, at least. And, for the record, a CAP GUN IS NOT A FUCKING “FIREARM”, NOR WEAPON—PERIOD.
Also, how fucking ironic is it that the school apparently TAUGHT this kid about Civil War weapons, and when he showed a real interest, they arrested him for it? Show of hands—can anyone hazard a guess as to why American kids do so poorly at school? Anyone? Anyone at all…?
