More repuglican insanity
I can tell you that I was forbidden from doing that while playing during a vacation in Colorado, mere months before Columbine. This bullshit is ridiculous.
Clearly you weren’t in a dangerous finger-standoff by yourselves.
TBF, that’s how I robbed Chase Bank last week.
Student with actual gun given a thumbs-up and a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Are finger guns going to become the equivalent of a middle finger in the US because of how many people die to guns?
Only if the French start doing it.
Much like the middle finger gesture is offensive because outside the US many people die to birds.
That’s one way to misunderstand the sentence. Impressive. The USA preschool reading level isn’t a joke after all.
Half of U.S. adults can’t read a book written at the 8th-grade level.
Are you describing yourself here or what?
You made a snarky comment, I made a snarky joke in the same vein, you decide to bring in statistics (of the wrong country btw)? Why?
You are replying to the most obvious of jokes, but even if it wasn’t a joke your response doesn’t really make sense. There is nothing in that comment that would imply that the person writing that comment misunderstood what you wrote.
bro is part of the 30%
No. It’s hysterical admins using lousy logic to conclude that finger guns = violence. The logic is something along the lines of finger guns = real guns = killing people.
I think the logic is “it could be a threat” but yeah it’s dumb either way, unless it is a threat I guess.
The only time I really heard this talked about was in elementary school, and finger guns were never a threat at the school I went to. Not even once, but the teachers and administration would harp on about it like kids were demonic for making them.
They could get you expelled at mine, but not charged. IIRC even water guns would get you actually charged. Tbf it was shortly after 9/11, but still.
Anything but addressing the core issue.
Yes I’m sure this will reduce violence
I mean I’m all for stricter gun regulations, but chopping everybody’s fingers off might be a bit much. Granted.
How else will they learn though?
/me makes throat slitting gesture
Oi you got a licosonse for that gesture.
Now I’m no judge, but I see this as a first amendment violation. The student was expressing his disdain towards the kids in a jackass sort of way, but being a jackass isn’t and shouldn’t be against the law.
Depends on context. In this case it’s obvious it’s not a “true threat.” https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/amdt1-7-5-6/ALDE_00013807/
I would be inclined to agree. Schools themselves have wide latitude to police this type of thing, much wider than general criminal law could do. So I have no problem with the kid being suspended. The criminal charge on the other hand is another matter entirely. That seems like a clear 1st Amendment violation.
Googling this… At the moment, the only source online is a single local newspaper, which omits numerous key details. Might turn out to be nothing.
Says an error occurred and I can’t get the link, can you send it here?
you can’t buy fingers from weapons manufacturers so we can’t protect your right to bear fingers
In Tennessee, it’s a felony for impersonating a gun. Having a real one on the other hand is perfectly acceptable.
“It’s me, a 8mm Glock. I like to lie threatenly on tables and being pointed at minorities.” What do you think, pretty convincing, right?
Ah yes, YouTube.com as a reliable journalistic source…
Huh? You know news organizations have YouTube channels right?
