So could the parents of the school administration officials and the DA who charged this honsest kid with a felony.

Liberalism is destroying the republic - and people who allow liberals to get away with the assult do so becuse they are incapable of critical thinking as well.

Those people are called Democrats.

Maybe that stuff is true, you certainly don't have legitimate evidence though. That is not the point I am making. The DA and the Officials have certain responsibilities, they let this kid off, what happens the next time something like this happens and its a legit BAD kid? The kid on the other hand could have avoided all of this by simply walking out of class, getting in his truck, and leaving. The kid should be cut some slack, too easy to agree with. Where I take exception is the liberalism thing. Are you admiring his honesty or defending your culture? If he had a little pot in his truck and the same thing happened? Cocaine? Furthermore, are we so certain that the story is reported unbiased?

I don't get the cocaine and marijuana references.

Cocaine, pot, and an unloaded and secured firearm are all harmless things and having any of those items in a vehicle on school property should not be grounds for expulsion.

Defending my culture?

What does that mean?

I see where you're coming from. Maybe he should have protested the rules rather than break them.

Cocaine and pot are illegal so it isn't really an equivalent comparison.

It doesn't look like he broke the rules intentionally. It looks like he was trying to obey the rules to the best of his ability. I think he should have broken the rules. Either not say anything or just skip school.

He didn't intentionally break a rule.

As soon as he realized that he had brought the weapon to school, he took steps to have weapon removed from school grounds, in accordance with the school policy.

He should be lauded for his honesty - not branded a felon for a slip of the mind.

Have you never forgot something?

Should you have your life ruined because some whacked out school administrator and DA don't use their brains?
