Sad Days in Public Schools

[FitnessBrat]

When you turn stuff over to the government......

Doesn't surprise me. Public schools suspend kids for chewing a piece of pizza into the shape of a gun. The majority of government has gone full retard.

Good teachers are few and far between. They want people that can read along with the mandated government script and follow orders without question.

This made me laugh. However, I don't think it's JUST public school. I think it is our new society. :(

Probably looked like a bomb. From what he showed in the video interview.

Umm how about taking the kid aside and asking him to open it up just to be safe? Instead they make assumptions and have him arrested..

Didn't say they were right. Just saying it does look like a bomb. The police arrested him not the school. Def a bizarre overreaction seems like they would have let him go.

How about even talking to the engineering teacher.

It does not look anything like a bomb. It's a breadboard with a timer chip, a few wires, a seven segment display and a 9V battery terminal. Where is the part that goes boom? How functionally illiterate have we become that we can't figure this out?

The terrorists have already won, guys. We are now afraid of our own shadows.

Zero tolerance is zero tolerance. Most school admins will follow orders without asking questions. This is all for the safety of the children.............

That is the goal. Get everyone to be fearful everyday and the big nice government will come in and take care of you. We had peace officers, now we have law enforcement. We have DHS, FBI, CIA, NSA, FDA, DEA, FCC etc etc and they just want to keep us safe by regulating the shit out of any and everything.

Obviously an overreaction on the schools part but sorry this looks like the typical movie suitcase bomb

Check out his father. This entire thing could have been planned from day one. Every story has three sides, we have only heard one.

This is what happens when people get their science from the movies. I get that unfortunate as it might be, the average Jimmy Joe Billy Bob is as smart as a pile of rocks, but you would think that the teachers of a school that proudly claims to be in the silver category of the best schools in the US would have a bit more intelligence.

Let me add that the bomb squad was never called in and the school was never evacuated. So, there's one of two conclusions - a) nobody really believed it was a bomb, but they went through the charade anyway, robbing the kid of whatever innocence he had left, or b) they really believed it was a bomb (which is of course stupid) but were guilty of collosal incompetence in following their own safety protocols. Hmmm tough choice, I'll take stupid for $500, Alex!

Looks the inside of a tower desktop PC to me. I don't see a bomb there.
