12 months at Parris Island would give him a new attitude.

He's old enough to go! Either that or Mt. Meggs for a little visit

This is the dumbest thing I have every heard.

No wonder kids are shotting up schools.

We treat them like criminals so they will act like one.

ON A BATHROOM WALL.

On a bathroom wall a gun can have two different meanings.

A threat is a threat...on the bathroom wall or verbally. He is old enough to know better about defacing school property and making threats.

A Teacher - Help I Work Here, really. Learn to spell. If someone acts like a criminal, treat them like one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reason this children act this way is because in most cases their parents get them out of trouble. In life there are consequences. The sooner this is taught at home, the better off society will be as a whole.

Does he look like a young Joe Don Baker to anyone?

hope he can act tough in jail

wow a terrorist threat? Yep he did wrong and needs a good butt whoopin but terrorist? cmon folks

ronald, agree. that label is haphazardly thrown around til it has lost its shock value and is near meaningless. meanwhile, the dictionary says that 'terrorist, noun' means 'a person who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims.' this kid did not do that. he doesnt look like he gives a crap about politics to me.

need to look at retiring that word unless it is used correctly on guys like OBL.

So................ What was the threat again? I remember when all you read on a school bathroom walls was "they paint these walls to hide my pen, but the sh*t house poet strikes again". This incident seems to have been blown all out of proportion..

If you worked at the school or had kids, grandkids, etc that went to the school would you take it ever so lightly then?

im just tired of being afraid all the time, at every little thing. food'll kill me. random crazy guys. cancer, car crash, catapults. 'terrorists', homegrown or otherwise. now this kid? im supposed to be afraid of this kid on behalf of my own?

i DO have kids, other james. and i dont want to raise them with fear. its no way to live.

If this kids parents own guns This should be a red flag to either lock those guns up in a secure location even if they have to remove them from the property. Not doing so would be criminal if he got a hold of them and actually did something. Now I know some of you will say what good are the guns if there locked up somewhere else, I'll tell you why the immediate threat is with in thier home and not from others in our socienty, It's all about reducing your exposure to the threat even if that threat is your own child or relative.

he does look like a young joe don baker............

Maybe the new gun laws will forever keep him from getting his hands on a gun......lol

Good grief. I remember being afraid of my children driving to school, for fear they would be arrested for having a baseball bat in the car, or a bag of recyclables with a beer can in it. Now what? Do they have cameras in the bathrooms?
