Police arrest 10-year girl on charge of carrying scissors to school

Zero tolerance is idiotic.

 

stupid, stupid, stupid

 

Ok, so she vilolated the rules by bringing the scissor to school, so they took her scissor away and continued to arrest the 10 yrs old girl with cuffs? Whats the hell is goin on here? I'd be embarassed to be the one putting cuffs on her.

 

Maybe she was RUNNING with scissors.

I've heard that was a no-no, know I know why.

 

now now we aren't hearing the whole story here... maybe she brought the scissors to class with intent of cutting construction paper.

 

I saw this a while back; almost posted it but figured someone surely had and I just couldn't find the thread. Anyway, what RM95 said about zero tolerance. This is what it gets you. Kids are sensitive, especially little girls. I can't imagine getting cuffed and taken away in a police car. She has to have been really upset. How could they have gone through with it at that point?!?

 

Zero tolerance is the dumbest thing ever. We are gonna have kids in the pokey.

"Yo man what did they get you for"

"Drug Trafficing I took 4 asprin to school, you?"

"Weapons of Mass Destruction...I had a protractor with a sharp end"

 

Recycled bad joke warning: I thought those were Weapons of Math Instruction.

This is wrong on so many levels. Not only is it ridiculous, but it would be easy to frame another kid just to be mean. When I was in elementary school someone put one of those metal star things in my book. (supposedly you can throw them and they have sharp points) Apparently I could have gotten in a lot of trouble for having it; fortunately, no one saw it.

And, if you can't bring Advil to school, then I should have been locked away for a long time. I brought it to school. Every day. I even shared it with other people. Do you really want kids to have to go to the nurse every time they need something for a headache? (Not to mention that most high school girls would be in the nurse's office every month... Advil has some very important uses.)

Way to go, society... make kids bitter. Convince them that it's impossible to be good so you may as well be bad. Convince them that, when the popular music and movies encourage you not to trust the system or law enforcement, that they're right.

 

were they the GOOD scissors?

 

In other news a convicted burglar escaped custody while being transferred.

Nice to see we have our priorities straight.

 

Am I the only one who favors the death penalty in this case?

Ooops sorry wrong thread.

 

I remember when scissors were a part of my elementary school supply list.

Amazing that there are some human beings out there that would hand-cuff a 10 year old girl. Amazing that ever since 9/11 and Columbine, the reason of many human beings has deteriorated.

Those officers that did that should be tortured in the playground like those Cops in "Men at Work"

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

dumbest cops ever.

 

Isabel that was hilarious!

As for the girl.."a potential weapon"!?!? That's complete BS. I guarantee you about 99% of the things on earth are "potential weapons". I'm looking around and i think i could use just about everything in my dorm as a weapon! Poor kid.

 

Well I'm glad this troublemaker was taught a lesson. How come the mother didn't go to jail too? I mean she gave her child access to a weapon.

They should pass a federal law to mandate scissor locks so that the kids don't go on a rampage. Think of the children, before its too late.

 

Zero tolerance = Zero intelligence

 

full re-cycling for those with short memories

At New York's Kennedy airport the other day, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x"and "y" and refer to themselves as unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to nflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point,and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

 

How incredibly asinine... We're human for a reason... use your ****ing brains and make a judgement call.
