Little Over the Top?
- A Colorado second-grader may be suspended from his elementary school after he disobeyed a key rule of no weapons, real or imaginary, when he tossed an imaginary grenade Friday during recess and went, 'pshhh,' to indicate that the imaginary device detonated, KDVR.com reported.
Alex Watkins,7, who attends Mary Blair Elementary in Loveland, said he was playing the game "Rescue the World." He plays the role of a heroic soldier out to rid the world of an evil threat.
His duties led him to throw the imaginary grenade into a box he pretended contained evil forces. He said he didn't make any threats and was playing by himself, KDVR.com reported.
Somewhere else, a boy got suspended for making a "gun" with his index finger and thumb. What the hell is wrong with this country?

Land of the softies. now is the time of the "liberal". I guess the days of little boys fantasizing about saving the world are over. It's just too violent. What a fucking joke!!!!!!! If only I had a time machine. I would go back in time and tell my ancestors to just stay put because America will be totally fucked in the future.lol
We should all chip in, and buy him a real gun.
"Somewhere else, a boy got suspended for making a "gun" with his index finger and thumb. What the hell is wrong with this country?"
it's not the country, it's the miscreant administrators and rabbit balled teachers running many public schools.
they want to rid the world, via childhood indoctrinations, of all who embrace the perspective, expressed so elegantly, of the saying, "fuck 'em, if they can't take a joke."
ANALYSIS: Disciplining children over fake guns may be wrong lesson

A 5-year-old faced with a pile of Legos did what boys have done since the dawn of time: He fashioned a weapon, ran about and made shooting sounds.
That's when the Massachusetts elementary school sent a letter to his parents and warned that the next time, their son Joe would be suspended. "I said listen, he's a 5-year-old, I think maybe a redirection would be more appropriate," his mother, Sheila Cruz, told a local radio station. "She (the principal) said, 'it's a threat to other children, and other children could have been scared.'"

That kid should of followed the use of force guide lines. I smell punitive damages coming from all the imaginary "bad guys" families.
Left-wing, ultra-liberal democrats are what's wrong with this country. Obummer, pelosi, reid, wasserman, moore, penn, baldwin, etc...
ZERO FUCKING TOLLERENCE !!!
Go be a child somewhere else, school is not the place for children.....or, at least not children who act like children.
What's wrong with this country is that the subversive socialists have taken over. They want to soften us up so we're easier to take over. It will only work up here in liberal pansy land. The good ole' boys in the sticks will be the salvation of this country.
How would they inventory it?
If these goofs keep running our schools like this there will be no more Chris Kyels. From early childhood he handled guns and hunted and dreamed to be in combat and serve. who will protect us, who will we send someday?
Why is it that none of the disturbed and evil men, who steal guns, then go and kill movie-goers and children in school, has ever been identified as a conservative NRA member?
Ft Hood~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim
Columbine ~~~ Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals
Virginia Tech ~~~ Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff ~ Registered Democrat
Colorado Theater ~~~ Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal
Connecticut School Shooter- ~~~ Registered Democrat; hated Christians
Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive liberal Democrats.
INTERESTING, isn't it?
Maybe Democrats shouldn't have guns! And most of the teachers are what? Oh that's right,Democrat's
And everyone wonders why our kids are fat and lazy. Since none of these liberal pukes will let any of them play anymore, all they do is sit on the couch and watch brain washing garbage on tv.
My kid got suspended for that ten years ago. Here in Chicago, when he was in second grade. On his suspension day I took him to Illinois Gun Works and taught him to use my guns safely and correctly. And I sent pictures back to his teacher and said, "since your reaction to this was so wrong, I did your job and spent the day teaching him something. I bet he learned more from me."
I'd like to say I won that one, but I ended up marrying the teacher, and she's spent the last 8 years grinding me into submission.
I've got a kid ready to start school. He plays good guy/bad guy. He plays cops and robbers. He plays save the world.
We've already been working with him on how he can't "play" guns or say he's going to blow something up to save the world while at school because he'll get in trouble. (We've had 5 in school before him, all girls; only one played blow-em-up or save the world.)
All because liberal adults working in and in charge of our schools have lost their decision-making ability. Their ability to reason. Their ability to interact and redirect children. Their ability to see age-appropriate behavior for what it is.
We might be overworried here, though; not much time for interaction in the schools now that everything is focused on testing, testing, testing and the kids go like zombies from class to class to class with no breaks in between.
Our great leader has commanded that the wussification continue.
Like the FAKE Illegals
Good Americans becoming criminals for What?
I'll bet the kids folks let him play violent video games. Probably plays them on his X-box or PS3.
This country isotherms liberal agenda is becoming pussified, where did I hear hat word becoming pussys? Oh may e at a vri roll call? By oh I don't know could it be by a merit all he way do oohing boss?
For the love of God. Does anyone own a pair of balls anymore? Michael Savage is right. The people in this country act as a direct result of the liberal agenda. The college professors are brain washed, a bunch of liberal, marxist identity thieves. And this entire country is a sitting duck. God help all of us.

That principal is the threat to other children.
I hope the mom can home school this child. He sounds like a regular good kid.
If this happened in this city police would be dispatched and the principal would want a report.
now a school is like an airport huh?
Can't play dodgeball or tag or any game where someones' feeling may be hurt. I was "husky" as a kid until my teens and had trouble in running games but I haven't taken a real gun and killed anyone yet and at 65 years probably won't because I lost some game.
He should be forced to wear his mom's stockings and high heels for a week. That would fix the problem.
(Says a flaming liberal.)
My friends and I played GUNS all the time as kids. We all turned out just fine. Not one serial killer in the bunch.
Next ...... Your thoughts.....what were you thinking,you need some suspension time for those thoughts!
If I were his parents, I'm sure a law suit is winnable here!
Imagination and thoughts are the same ....it's happening,the thought police have arrived!
Having identified this problem, the worthies are simply setting the stage to eliminate unnecessarily violent video games, movies and television shows. For everyone's good.
Next up: eliminating the covert violence of capitalism.
None of this violates the First Amendmant, by the way, because these nice folks have such pure hearts.
So just shut up and get out of the way. And deposit your freedoms in the trash bin by the door on your way out.
Without a doubt America is going down the drain. Im 59 and I can't believe what has happened to our country in the last 40 years
Un-fucking-real. Sad day for America...again.
On a lighter note, though, this story immediately reminded me of the Family Guy episode where the Griffins are stuck in the house riding out a storm. Trying to find things to do to pass the time, they play "Finger Bang" - shooting each other with guns shaped from their fingers. Absolutely hysterical stuff.
Peter: "No one wants to get fingerbanged by you, Meg".
Lois: "Yeah. Why don't you go do that to yourself, Meg".

Google..Mattel toy guns.. from the 50's and 60's. Guns were promoted as a wonderful toy to help children imagine and expand their minds. No violence,no killing.Kids grew up to be healthy and strong,responsible members of society.If I ventured to state what has happened since someone would deflect the blame and call me...You guessed it...racist.
this is sad to read because we can actually see things getting worse before our very eyes. these insane libs are trying to control and/or destroy a child's innocent imagination. here is what the suspension report would read for this kid?
this child is being suspended indefinitely due to his irresponsible and careless actions. this child has caused other children anxiety attacks and teachers to...ha i can't even finish this because it is too ridiculous and i have no idea what possibly could be said, ha.

The next FOID card application will have an additional check box regarding political party and a 1 to 10 rating of how extreme your views are regarding such allegiance. LOL!
Stay safe boys and girls!
Nothing surprises me about people who re-elected the most inept President we have ever had to a second term----because he's pretty.
This reminds me of when the guys in Beatrice's used to yell "grenade" and pretend to toss something just so my crazy uncle would jump on it.
Who would this kid shoot?? Manti Teo's imaginary girlfriend?? This is ridonkulous....This country is becoming a real fucking joke!
A big issue these days is that these Nanny Statists will not let boys be boys. Any boy that is slightly hyper or outgoing is labeled as having ADD and drugged up. Millions of kids are drugged up when they're simply being themselves.
Statist who handle kids like this boy should be publicly shamed and then tarred and feathered.

Should have done a contact card and left it at that!!!
1 card on the kid, another on his imaginary enemy.
We need to get the commies out of the schools and government and out of this country.
Mikey, please send the city the letter. I really need a pay raise. Thank you.
I'd like to say I won that one, but I ended up marrying the teacher, and she's spent the last 8 years grinding me into submission.

and yet, you were here for those 40 years, right?
I can tell you in two words...female teachers. I have watched over the years as these women have attempted, and mostly succeeded in completely emasculating young boys. Football and baseball arent allowed at recess or lunch, but soccer ( a game which places both sexes at a young age on equal par because no strength is needed)is ok. Homework assignments such as book reports which now require the kids to do art projects such as sewing and glitter and paste use are now mandated.
Its happening at every level of education. We dont attempt to rise to your level, instead we bring you down to ours. You want advanced math classes, sorry, but instead we will teach you at 2 to 3 grades below your capability so that we dont leave (fill in the blank of your favorite underprivilged child's name) behind.
You want to play football or baseball at lunchtime? But darling Amber and Tiffany cant do that...no! You must play soccer or no sports for you!
You want to play Army...or cops and robbers??? OMG!!!! How revolting that you act as a little boy. No, but you can play "house" or cut out paper dolls.
And now imagine poor Bobby is from a one parent (female) household...where does this kid obtain any masculine trait development?
At home? Not with Mom...(no offense to moms). At school? Are you kidding?
There needs to be some balance of strong male role models for young boys in society. It cant be all this female generated bullshit of gender neutral (aka anti male)training.
Go thru any toy catalog and you will see what I mean. The toys that are now accepted by society have now been so cleansed of anything that hints of traditional boyhood. Its dolls (action figures), and video games. No more toy guns, no more footballs, no more punching bags.
10 to 1 it was a female that ratted this poor kid out for playing with a make believe grenade.
Political correctness will be the death of this country. The poor Colorado kid has been made to feel he was doing something wrong when his his play had the noblest of goals. Go figure.
Another example of a school administration gone wild. These type of things happen all too often around the country and the parents can do little or nothing about them. The school administrations/boards are very powerful.
It's the new Zero Common Sense policy applied to the Zero Tolerance policy.
Ft Hood~~~ Registered Democrat ~ Muslim
This was an obvious act of terrorism, but the administration won't charge him accordingly.
No tolerance = no thought. This decision was so obviously bad that I've seen it being bashed on both right AND left wing blogs:

Was the kid using his hand as an "assault" rifle?..If so, Obama will probably want to jail him
