7 Year-Old Boy Suspended From School For Simulating Gunfire With Pencil

Seven year-old Christopher Marshall was suspended from his Suffolk, Virginia elementary school for pointing a gun at a classmate, and making what he described as "a machine gun noise."

Christopher's father, a former Marine, says his son was just pretending to be a Marine, while his "victim" was being "a bad guy."

School spokesperson Bethanne Bradshaw explained, to a local TV station, that the school has a "zero tolerance policy" for weapons, and "A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made."

That's true, the last time I pointed a pencil at a mugger and made gun noises, I got my ass kicked. The guy wasn't even impressed by my spot-on cocking sound effect, which was a helluva lot more convincing than the gun noises that Christopher made:

In all seriousness, Ms. Bradshaw has a kernel of a point when she points out that "Some children would consider it threatening, who are scared about shootings in schools or shootings in the community," but suspending the child was a clear overreaction, especially since he stopped when he was told to.

The school also missed a golden opportunity for some gun-grabbing indoctrination. Instead of suspending the kid, they could have had a discussion about how the kids feel about the gun violence that's been dominating the news, maybe even sing a few Obama carols.

The worst part, though, is that, according to WAVY, "both students were suspended for two days," which makes you wonder why the parents whose kid got fake shot didn't make a stink. Was he carrying a concealed crayon?

America Is Doomed! Joe Hagmann & Baran Hines 29 Apr 2013

Of course poverty is on the rise in America. What do you expect? The globalists are in control. The federal reserve is full of them. Just like the government, the banks, the corporations, the education system and legal system. I mean you have record inflation, devalued currency, trillions in debt, the average citizen is in debt, rent and house prices are sky high, all that while wages are stagnant and minimum wage is kept artificially low. Couple that with this globalist world trade/free trade BS and the neocons getting rid of the unions what do you really expect? Kapitalism is not working. Globalism is destroying America and its destroying the Americans. Like I said its what the globalists want. They want the Americans exterminated. Best way to do this is through economics. If you don’t have money you can’t breed. You can’t breed your people go the way of the dodo and T. Rex. Really what did your people expect? You let a foreign cabal take over your country and run you and your children out of power and control.
