I follow Russia Today on Twitter and sadly they tweeted about another shooting in America, see here, but what caught my eye was a story on the right hand side, saying how a 5 year old child, got suspended from school for 10 days, for threatening to shoot another child, with a pink gun that blows bubbles, here is a quote from the source:

A 5-year-old girl was suspended from a Pennsylvania kindergarten after telling another girl that she was going to shoot her. The weapon she was going to use was a pink toy gun that blows soapy bubbles. Mount Carmel Area School District officials questioned the student without her parents present, deemed the girl a “terrorist threat” and suspended her for 10 days, according to attorney Robin Ficker, who was hired by the family to fight the suspension. The incident happened on January 10 as the preschoolers were waiting in line for a schoolbus, Ficker told news website PennLive.com. The girl, who has not been identified, said something like “I’m going to shoot you and I will shoot myself,” referring to the toy. She did not have the bubble gun on her person at the time. School officials learned of the conversation and questioned the girl for over 30 minutes the next day, Ficker said. After the talk, she was suspended for 10 days, branded a threat and required to be evaluated by a psychologist, he added.

I don't know, I think the reaction is too much, but it is somewhat justifiable. Was the girl actually mad at the other girl she threatened? If so, that "I'm going to shoot you" mentality should be examined, even if it was a bubble gun. Either way, suspending her is going too far

The girl wanted to play with toy guns.

It's just that the WAY she said it, made it seem "dubious" to other people.

This isn't the first incident like this. A 6 year old was suspended for making a gun gesture and saying, "POW". Two other kids were suspended for playing cops and robbers. Sigh...I miss pre-9/11 America.

there is no more innocence in anything anymore.

I had read about this on fark a couple days ago. Sadly, there's a lot of articles that are like this one.

The internet is great and I've seen some amazing (and horrifying) things, but it also exposes everybody to the idiocracy of everybody else; and that's completely depressing.
