"Not Overreacting"

A long University of Nebraska-Lincoln tradition came to an abrupt end this week after a student brought a Nerf gun into a classroom..."All of a sudden, I saw five or six officers rush into the room," said student Arthur Scott...Vice Chancellor Juan Franco said they're not overreacting.
No, no of course not.

You can't be too careful, these days.

Ai-yi-yi...

I suppose if I nuke my house to kill a toy mouse, I would not be overreacting either, according to these meatbags.

Effing morons. Too bad none of the students had their pet kitties in class, the officers could have gotten in some stomping practice.

Here's the deal. There is no excuse for the officers not knowing there was no danger. That's right, absolutely no justification for them not to realize no one was in danger.

The tipoff should have been when they realized they, themselves, weren't hiding outside waiting for everything to be over before the "made their move".

So, does that mean that a CCW holder would be justified in shooting someone holding a nerf gun?? Oh, and I guess "acting in a threatening manner"...
