Police protecting us from dangerous individuals once again.

[halobob]

Haha, this should be an open and shut case.

[Jason]

I work with juveniles in detention. He'll get informal probation.

[Blarg]

Makes you wonder why any prosecutor would go forward with this knowing there is no real case here.

[austin724]

Our country has gone to hell. Everyday it gets more ridiculous.

[EE_]

 

In legal documents obtained by the CBS station, the arresting officer, James Adkins, reportedly fails to inform the court about any terrorist threats or any violent action. Instead, Adkins asserts that the 14-year-old boy did not follow his orders to stop talking. This verbosity somehow prevented Adkins from performing his police duties.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The school district’s policy doesn’t prohibit shirts promoting Second Amendment rights.

 

His real crime was Failure to Lick Boots in a Timely Manner. How dare a mundane not be properly terrified of an officer of the Law?

Let's just all thank God he wasn't wearing a t-shirt with an American flag on May 5th.

[Angel Oracle]

It's called "People in high places becoming more full of themselves each year."

He shouldn't get anything.  He didn't even break the law. 

[Jason]

He shouldn't get anything.  He didn't even break the law. 

And he may not if the terrorist threats charges don't stick. He's a 1st timer so they will go easy on him. At least they do in California

[Spirit]

I don't even understand why he was suspended in the first place.  The school has no rule against such clothing.

Go easy on him for what, wearing a shirt?

 

Every day in schools across america kids are bullied, beat up, pushed down and kids don't get arrested, nor should they (for the most part), but this kid gets suspended and arrested?

 

LOL

[Ray McKigney]

Almost heaven, West Virginia.

[jshep]

The article says the school doesn't have a rule against "shirts promoting second amendment rights"

But if I recall correctly, my middle school and high school both had dress codes that that shirt would violate just on the basis of having a rifle on it, regardless of what the shirt's message was.

I wonder if that was it

[Thomas]

This happened in West Virginia? That'd be like a kid getting in trouble for wearing an Alabama shirt at a school in Tuscaloosa. Maybe it wasn't pro-NRA enough? It only had one rifle, eagle, and American flag on it?

[Count Orlok]

Sounds reasonable

No mention of shirts with guns being banned.

I agree 100% as this really is a farce. The left has gotten the schools in a panic with anything relating to firearms. I don't see how refusing to stop talking is resisting an officer. He won't be charged.

He was already charged. Maybe you mean convicted?

This is stupid.

[Jason]

This is stupid.

The DA can still decide to not pursue it and drop the whole thing. You would think that's the route he/she would take as I'm sure they have better things to do.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I wonder how much taxpayer money is going to be spent to carry this through to its inevitably asinine conclusion.

[LBHalos17]

Total waste of time over a non-issue.

The kid is guilty of "Contempt of school employee and police officer" only.  They got their panties bunched because he stood-up for himself, AND knew the rules.  I hope the NRA takes the case and defends him; the school and police will get spanked.

 

I absolutely agree with the comment about bullying!  It is constant, rarely-reported, and rarely responded-to by school admin.  They make their own problems.

[Taylor]

Dems are so asinine.
