No, not a terrorist.
Unless you’re a school administrator.
Rock Hill student charged after bringing nails to school
May 7, 2005 – An 11-year-old boy was arrested this week for carrying ten nails in his pocket at a Rock Hill middle school and charged with carrying an unlawful weapon.
Dianne McCray, assistant principal at Rawlinson Road Middle School, asked the child Wednesday what was jingling in his pocket and the student gave her the 3.5″ long nails.
A school resource officer arrested him. His father picked him up and he was not taken to the police station.
The father said the nails were left in his pocket after a Boy Scout outing. He says it is ridiculous that his son faces an unlawful weapon charge. He says the boy threatened no one.
An upstanding youth with no previous history of trouble gets arrested for not threatening anyone. But how much do you want to bet that the schoolyard bully who beat threatened to beat the crap out of a fellow student just got a stern look and a note sent home with him?
Another reason to abolish the public school system altogether.
What next, pencils? Make everyone write with felt-tip markers or crayons? The inmates are running the asylum, and they still won’t let anyone have any “sharps”…
