To prove that the United States is a gott damned police state, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, three 7th grade students were suspended from school for playing with so called Airsoft guns. But get this, they were playing with the soft pellet gun on the family’s private property, not school property!
I watched the video report, and the one of the kids showed the so called Airsoft gun he was using. It’s not even a full blown paint pellet gun, it’s a wimpy ass soft pellet hand gun. It even has an orange barrel which identifies it, officially, as a toy.
Of note; school officials made the names of two of the students public, which is normally against school and even police policies, because they are minors. School officials even made the school discipline records of one of the students public! This sounds like school officials have a vendetta against the family!
School officials refused to give the local news media and explanation. They did issue this statement: “This was a measured response to a threat to student safety.”
The whole thing was caused by paranoid neighbors who freaked out and called police: “He is pointing the gun, and it looks like there’s a target in a tree in his front yard. This is not a real one, but it makes people uncomfortable.”-freaked out paranoid neighbor
Note that the neighbor knew the gun was a toy!!! Other 911 callers said they though a white kid was chasing a black kid with a gun. However, Virginia Beach City law does ban the shooting of even air powered guns on private property, but how does that give the school the authority to suspend the kids?
One of the students says his school record now indicates he was suspended for possession of a “firearm”, which apparently will now prevent you from getting into college!
Can you say “What a bunch of freakin’ bull shit”?!
