Police and school officials say a second-grade boy at Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary School brought the gun and apparently pointed it at two 6-year-olds and fired it, discharging smoke. [More]Horrors!
Hopefully he was playing Cowboys and Indians instead of Cops and Robbers, and that way they can tack on a hate crime charge.
I'm trying to recall if I ever had a friend at that age who didn't shoot at other kids with cap guns...

Thank goodness they overreacted right away!
It's unfortunate, but that's the world we live in now. Those days are over. Everything is a hate crime or a terrorist threat.
My Grandson's school vetoed playground games involving Cowboys and Indians, Cops and Robbers, and Army.
The kids asked if they could play vampires and humans and were told that would be okay. Problem: None of the kids wanted to be a human.

WWW,
Now that's pathetically funny.
Can't be cowboys & indians.
Can't be cops & robbers.
Can't be red army & blue army.
But vampires & humans is allowed!
Biting vs shooting. . . I get the symbolic difference, but not the psycological difference.
With all these things that are allowed, and not allowed, I keep waiting for the Law of Unintended Consequences to come along eventually and "bite" these libtard teachers and school supervisors in the ass. I wonder what the Consequence will be in this case? Too bad most of the ones who have set this in motion will be retired and won't be around to see the (re)actions of their handiwork.

As an experiment my children (two boys) did not receive any toy guns as gifts. The rationale for the policy changed when I observed them picking up sticks and pretending that they were guns. Experiment ended. Bravo to their imaginations!
