sigh. I feel embarrased to live in Florida now.

wtf. its art.

You gotta be fucking kidding.

Not only that, its STICK FIGURES! We used to do that when i was in school. Man thats why we have http://www.stickdeath.com

thats BS plain and simple. A felony for a drawn picture?????????????? Last year some kids got into trouble for making thier hands like a gun and saying "bang bang" this world is too damn PC. When we were kids we would always play with toy guns, plastic army men and even the now racially insensitive cowboys and indians.


How did I survive?

BTW my son has toy guns (what a rebel I am!!!)
my daughter has real ones!!!!!

The kids were arrested for this reason, not because they drew violent pictures.

I don't see how drawing a picture of me killing someone and giving it to them, and me calling someone and telling them i'm going to kill them is different. Their both threats, and their both punishable under the law.

Now the fact that their 9 and 10 could change things, but I guess that has to do with local laws.

lol..when i was in kindergarden, i had no idea how to speak English, but on my way to school, i found a broken lighter and brought it to my teacher and she nearly fainted, so i told her ill throw it away ("I put in garbage") and she yelled at me and called my parents. This was back in 1993...

I brought a pocket knife to school in first grade.

heh, back in like 3rd grade it was leet to have a swiss army knife and a cap gun. We would play in the park with our cap guns, now they wont even let you do that because it "promotes violent behaviour"

hahaha so did i and someone told the teacher and i got into trouble.

i used to draw pictures and make fun of ppl back in like 7th grade

Thank god I dont live in Florida..I make the wierdest pictures..

I've drawn pictures of soldiers shooting eachother, with all the blood guts and gore, and back in 6th grade, me and a friend of mine in band (we hated it) drew pictures of our fat-ass band teacher and her losing her trumpet in her own fat...and in 3rd grade, I would draw that stuff all the time.

lol, those teachers are P-to the - A to the RAN-to the OID!

LMAO florida

Same thing happened to me. My parents had to come to school and get it.

I got grounded and didn't even know what I did wrong.

I remember drawing war pictures in the 4th grade. I drew tanks, planes, and bombs going off all over the place and never got into any trouble over it.

I also played "guns" with a bunch of kids my age. I had a .38 Detective Special chrome cap gun that my MOTHER purchased for me in WoolWorths. Again, i never got into trouble over it.

....also drew pictures of my 7th grade social studies teacher pinned to the wall with me throwing darts at him. Did i "want" to hurt him? No, i just didn't like him too much and thought it funny to throw darts at him on paper. Ok, i do admit hitting him with a few spitballs using a straw. Did i get into trouble for it? No, because i didn't get caught.

The world has definately changed since then and we're making our youth into little grownups instead of leaving them as children. To slap handcuffs on them is totally over the top. What the hell is this world coming to? Boys will be boys and i can bet my paycheck that those boys didn't even think about doing something like that in "real life". Perhaps a session in the principals office and some counseling is all that was needed. I think the grown ups are the ones who need counseling....they forgot what it was like to be kids themselves.

You'll all be on medication soon.
