I am presently snowbound... The blizzard that is hitting these parts of central Canada is hitting us very hard... And as I said in a previous article, "curse you Greta Thunberg and your other Climate Crisis" idiots for claiming we are somehow 'overheating'..... And therefore I have a lot of spare time suddenly and have spent the last few hours surfing away on the Internet, reading a lot of reports, and deciding to do a few more articles than usual here....It has been a long time since I have filed any articles at this blog discussing the sheer stupidity and ignorance that I see happening across America today...The facts are that the Libtards and other numb skulls in America are presently "running amok" and causing so much hardship on the American public, that I can say thank goodness I am not an American..... And one article popped up during my surfing that shows the sheer stupidity in America and one that I did want to share with my readers here...The following article comes from the PJ Media website, at www.pjmedia.com, and is so ridiculous and again shows how bad things have become in the formerly free nation called the United States... For according to this report, apparently a Kansas schoolgirl, aged 12, got arrested recently for doing the most dastardly thing imaginable, which is to make a 'finger gun' and point it at several of her schoolmates! Here in fact is that most interesting report, and I have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:
Kansas Schoolgirl Arrested, Charged with Felony for Brandishing Finger Gun
BY JIM TREACHER OCTOBER 10, 2019(Photo by Johannes W on Unsplash)One of the nice things about a moral panic is that it frees up individuals from responsibility for their own actions. If everybody's panicked about some supposed social ill, it's okay to do very silly things because you're just trying to protect people. Whether the boogeyman is global warming, or explicit song lyrics, or violent video games, or whatever else you're convinced is dangerous, your righteous indignation is justifiable. And if it's about guns? Dude, panicking about guns is pretty much mandatory. They don't even need to be real guns. These days you can freak out about toy guns, bubble guns, cookies in the shape of guns... even finger guns! The important thing is that you're protecting the children.Mara Rose Williams, Kansas City Star:
A 12-year-old Overland Park girl formed a gun with her fingers, pointed at four of her Westridge Middle School classmates one at a time, and then turned the pretend weapon toward herself.
Police hauled her out of school in handcuffs, arrested her and charged the child with a felony for threatening...
According to Johnson County District Court documents, on Sept. 18, the girl “unlawfully and feloniously communicated a threat to commit violence, with the intent to place another, in fear, or with the intent to cause the evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities...”
A person familiar with a more detailed incident report spoke to The Staron condition of anonymity. The person said that during a class discussion, another student asked the girl, if she could kill five people in the class, who would they be? In response, the girl allegedly pointed her finger pistol — like the ones many children use playing cops and robbers.
That's a big no-no. The first rule of gun safety is to treat every gun like it's loaded, even the one that's literally just your thumb and forefinger.Seriously, though, how is this a police matter? It's a 12-year-old girl, armed with nothing but her finger. Are we going to force kids to wear mittens year-round so they don't accidentally shoot somebody?Hat tip to Cam Edwards, who points out that a couple of kids recently brought realguns to school in the same district but weren't charged with a felony. If finger guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have finger guns.NTS Notes: Honestly, this is one of the most sickest and ridiculous excuses for anyone to be arrested for...I honestly had to read this a few times before I realized this was actually serious... And this young lady gets arrested and charged with the felony of "threatening" her school mates for pointing a finger gun???? I wonder what they would have done if the "gun" was actually loaded and she fired off a few rounds!!! (tongue in cheek pun here readers..)!This once again shows how things have gotten so bad in the US right now, that good citizens are now being arrested for the most stupidest excuses imaginable.... And can you imagine how this young girl and her parents must be feeling right now? This young lady may have a police record now against her that could ruin the rest of her life for nothing more than pointing a "finger gun"!I used to cover a lot of the most ludicrous and stupidest things that I see happening around us in articles at this blog.... And there is a lot of readers who send me emails and comments with links to craziness such as this incident in Kansas.... Maybe its about time I got back to posting articles about the insanity around us!More to comeNTS
