Thatâs what they want you to think⌠Weâre fucked.
Did they get the teacher arrested for impersonating someone with reading comprehension?

Sorry to nitpick, but where did it say he âresisted arrestâ? I only saw âdisorderly conductâ in the article.

My school days predated Sin City by a good deal but jesus christ if the stuff I was writing and drawing had been found by todayâs schoolteachers or administrators, Iâd be in Arkham Asylum to this day.
For one relatively mild example: I did a promotional poster for the school art publication in the manner of a disreputable BDSM porn mag called âSUBMIT (to the Art Magazine)â featuring my own art teacher naked and bleeding, strapped to an altar, being whipped by one of my sexier classmates in a metal bikini. The teacher and classmate thought it was funny, but the department head objected, but all I got was a brief talking-to (with copious backtalk on my part) and an order to take down the posters from the hallways. These days Iâd probably be in jail.
What kind of world are we living in where teenagers canât promote school-sanctioned publications with lurid intimations of illegal sadomasochistic relations between faculty and students?! Sad days indeed, my friends.

Teacher scans pupils homework, doesnât do job properly and thus causes mayhem. Teacher should loose said job for being so lazy.

Well, definitely never use the non-word âirregardless.â

You all think this is just a joke, but what if the gun was real, and the dinosaur was real, and the âtaking care of businessâ was real? It could have been Columbine all over again, except with dinosaurs.
Thank God this school has a zero-tolerance policy for the word âgun.â Anybody know if South Carolina is an open-carry state?

No, the worst crime is making thoughts a crime.

Yeah, ridiculous, but did anyone else think âwhy would you want to kill someones pet?â

Unfortunately, together they make too much sense. Lack of sensible gun control, and a hardened resistance against messages of restraint and peacefulness abound, leaving a vacuum of leadership and clear standards that makes people wring their hands so much that the denser among us make ridiculous decisions like this, and the police are given a ready excuse to react to any situation as if itâs seconds from the next Columbine. Ridiculous overreactions and police overreach like these lend credence to the âslippery slope argumentsâ put forth by 2nd Amendment hard-liners, adding fuel to their fire, and so on and so forth. (Donât mean to necessarily pick a chicken and an egg as first here, the order in this cycle may be somewhat arbitrary)

I agree with your argument but coming from a different position. We have gun control, no real gun culture (that isnât mocked) but tend to be more relaxed about kids playing with toys because, well theyâre fucking toys.

Well thatâs pretty much the entire premise of âAx Copâ right there.

As if âdisorderly conductâ isnât a completely farcical charge against a child. Kids are made of disorderly conduct. And in this case, the kid more likely displayed behavior better labeled ârighteous indignation.â

But weâve had kids shoot up schools. This means you have to punish each and every kid who mentions a gun, because everyone who shows a passing interest in guns is a psycho lunatic redneck two seconds away from killing every last person around them.
If someoneâs pet triceratops was shitting in your yard, youâd understand.

A couple years ago there was a shooting in the next town over and all the schools in our area went into immediate lock down until they knew it was a student and he was caught. Sensible reaction.
At the same time, my son had taken a book to school about historical guns, that he had gotten as a present from his grandfather the previous weekend. One of the teachers saw it, politely asked my son for it, took it away and THEN CALLED ME ON THE PHONE. (The missing piece from the news article above!)
Because everyone was scared and touchy THAT day, I told the teacher I understood taking the book away that day. But I made it clear that if this had been a week ago when no one was freaking out and they had taken away the book, Iâdâve been in there with my lawyer that same day. Reluctantly, the teacher agreed that was the proper response on any OTHER day.
So, see ⌠not every teacher/school system is completely unqualified for their job!
