Child arrested for sharing photo of toy gun on social media that he got for his birthday

[Luddly Neddite]

This post is another example of what happens when you watch to much Rachael Maddow.

Major paranoid.

Never heard of her. Its not paranoia. Its common sense. Its like yelling fire in a crowed theater. Anyone stupid enough to post pictures of weapons real or play deserves having the po po up their asses.

I think that a trouble with reality is when you think posting a picture of a play gun needs an arrest.

Where did I say it needed an arrest you moron? I said he deserved it for not using common sense and understanding context and time.

Lets see the op is child arrested for posting picture of toy gun. You say he deserved it. It being the arrest. Context and time does not change right and wrong, it does not change the fact hat arrest is lunicy. It is under duress when the right and wrong descisions coun t the most. I do not think many murders are commmited when every one around is happy. People make the decission to be a murderer under duress, but they are still murderers. It is not illegal to post pictures of play guns no arrest should be made time and contxt or not. Also please remember this is a child.

Doesnt change the fact the he deserved to get arrested for not having the brains not to post this online after the school shooting.

No, this is on the parents.

First, some idiot actually gave him the toy gun. Only one rason for that - to prepare him to own and use the real thing. Sick, sick, sick.

Second, children aren't supposed to have good sense. That's why they're called children.

Scary thing here is that his parents don't have brains or morals.

However, the cops have to have a very good reason that you may have committed a crime before they can arrest you. To arrest someone in the absence of just cause to believe that the arrestee may have committed a crime is, itself a criminal act.

Can they detain me downtown for up to 72 hours or something like that? Without technically being arrested or charged with a crime?

They dont even have to do that. They can just plant some drugs on you and arrest you.

It may take a few victims before the judges and DA's realize a lot of people arrested by this one particular cop always seem to have the same story. He planted drugs on me, he was abusive, he raped me. These guys need to have body cams on at all times. I don't worship the cops. They work for us and the power has gone to their heads.

What made me sick was when Trump said cops should rough up the people they arrest.

Trump and his supporters really are deplorable.

Drumpf is speaking to his base. The white boys that marched down south with the bon fires and pitchforks.

The problem isn't that white boys marched with bon fires and pitchforks. The problem is, they stopped.

Poor drunk cat lady - Either you've gotten even sicker while I was a way or you've finally come out from under your rock.

I know you hate it but this is still the US and slime like you simply do not belong in a free society.

Hell, for that matter, you don't belong on a decent planet.

This planet and this country is made up of many colors, creeds, religions, yaada yaada and the US was built on the principle of inclusion.

Back to the topic, you would be in favor of shooting this little boy if he were Black or Brown.

Actually you are the one putting your own ignorance and immorality on display for all to see.
Children should be trained in firearm safety. Failure to do so is simply irresponsible.
High school seniors are NOT children. They are becoming of age to vote and be drafted into the Army and required to carry weapons to defend your sorry butt. Idiotic to claim they should not know how.
Anyone willing to claim that people who have committed no crime should be arrested certainly have no room to to talk of morality.

Good. He shouldnt threaten people with the image of being shot by a gun. What kind of shitty parent allows their child to do such a thing after all these school shootings?

In another thread, the usual suspects are saying the Parkland shooter should have been arrested before he committed a crime. You know. Because he might be thinking about committing a crime.

And, if THIS kid had and used the real thing, same bunch would be saying SEE?? You lib-rules had a chance to save lives and you didn't.

Make up your minds because you can't have it both ways.

Cruz exhibited problem behavior his entire high school career and eventually was expelled for disciplinary problems. He had the police called on him 39 times at his mother's house; had trouble controlling his temper; was a terror to his fellow schoolmates; posted disturbing pictures of dead animals on social media and finally, declared on social media that he wanted to be a "professional school shooter".

This kid posted a picture of a toy gun on Snapchat. There is simply no comparison and no reason whatsoever to get excited over this, even if it had been a real gun.

This kid is the same age as David Hogg. If Hogg is old enough and has sense enough to travel across the country campaigning for gun control then this kid is old enough to post a picture of a toy gun.

Again youre assuming you speak for everyone. Who told you that you were in charge designating what someone considers a reason to feel threatened or not? I'm afraid you are stuck in your own perspective and so naive you feel your illusion its shared with everyone.

We could go round and round but the point remains you were never elected king decider of what is threatening hence you have no voice. The fact remains that someone decided that it was threatening and called the cops.

I don't know if I'm trying to speak for everyone but I will say this: it was a picture of a toy gun with no accompanying verbal threats of any kind. For the life of me I just cannot see this as threatening no matter how I look at it. And the fact that someone did and you apparently agree with this person genuinely concerns me. It concerns me because this is not the only case like this. There have already been a number of cases of people being unjustly arrested or fired from their jobs because of people freaking out about firearms.

- A 15 year old was arrested in Chicago in February after he posted a picture of himself on Snapchat holding an AK-47. There were about three pics altogether and one of them was captioned and mentioned the school. They don't say what the caption said but they do say that the caption did not threaten or imply a threat to the school. But they arrested him anyway.

- In 2012 a man in Canada was arrested after his daughter drew a picture of a gun at elementary school. The cops and child services showed up at his house and did a search.

- A Virginia woman was fired from her job when her employer found out she had a Concealed Carry permit. They had security escort her out of the building "for safety concerns".
All they had to do was ask her not to bring the gun on the premises (which she never did anyway) and that would have been that. But that wasn't good enough; they had to do their lame moral posturing to make a statement and now she's out of a job.

I never asked if you personally found it threatening. I merely stated that it definitely was threatening as evidenced by someone calling the cops about it.

That they called the cops is only evidence that they felt threatened, not that it was threatening.

I am more concerned about people not reporting nutcases and then playing monday morning quarterback and pointing out all the signs along the way that pointed to a mass shooter in development. This childs parents letting him do this so soon after the school shooting is stupidity personified.

I am more concerned about people having the police called on them for stupid shit like their daughters drawing a picture of a gun. Paranoia does not trump the law. Are you going to tell me that a child's drawing of a gun is threatening?

Most states are "at will employment" so you cant be unjustly fired from your job. They can fire you for no reason at all.

But they didn't fire her for no reason at all, they fired her for having a concealed carry permit. It did not violate the law or company policy. It would have been better to fire her for no reason at all than for an idiotic reason as this. In a sense, this was workplace prejudice.

Do they have the right to fire someone for any reason or no reason? Probably. Is it justified to fire someone for a stated reason that does not violate law or policy? Legally, yes. Logically and ethically, no.

Even if we assume that Virginia is an "at will employment" state, do you think they had a valid reason to fire her? I know they have the legal right to do so but from a practical standpoint, is it a valid reason?

You obviously dont know what threatening means.

   • LAW
     (of behavior) showing an intention to cause bodily harm.
   • (of a person or situation) causing someone to feel vulnerable or at risk.
     "she was a type he found threatening"

Yes a child drawing a gun could be considered threatening.

So you're telling me that an elementary school kid with a crayon drawing of a gun would make you feel threatened, vulnerable or at risk?

I didnt say they fired her for no reason. I just said they could. The fact that they picked that reason doesnt change they could have done it with no reason.

I understand that they could have fired her for no reason and I already acknowledged that. But they fired her for a specific reason that did not violate any law or policy.
Firing someone for no reason does not discriminate and lays no blame or fault with the person being fired. However, firing someone for a stated reason that violates no law or policy discriminates and specifically lays the blame or fault with the person being fired.

Would you feel the same way if they fired someone for wearing a Black Lives Matter pin on their shirt as opposed to no reason at all?

Yes I think they had a valid reason to fire her. My guess is she was well aware of their policy about firearms in the work place and decided to ignore it.

I already told you she never brought the gun on the work premises. So again, do you think it was a valid reason?

I'm telling you that your opinion doesnt dictate what makes something threatening and it certainly didnt work on the person that reported the stupid kid.

Youre right. This is on the idiot parents. I never allowed my children to play with toy guns. I didnt want them to get the idea that guns were toys. When they got old enough I took them to range and showed them exactly how serious it is.

Isn't it funny you guys get to parade around with your guns but a black american would get shot for doing the same thing? Talk about a great example of how they are treated like second class citizens.

And the problem with your group is that too many of you don't want to be found out. In the past it was ok to wear your hood but you lost your testicular fortitude and courage. You guys voting for Trump is about the best thing you've done since your last KKK rally.

2. Was the woman talking crazy? I'd like to see the story of someone being fired for having a CCW.

Have you ever heard about how parents are called into school because the pictures the kid drew are troubling?





You don't think you'd be concerned if your kid drew this?

Do they have the right to fire someone for any reason or no reason? Probably. Is it justified to fire someone for a stated reason that does not violate law or policy? Legally, yes. Logically and ethically, no.

Even if we assume that Virginia is an "at will employment" state, do you think they had a valid reason to fire her? I know they have the legal right to do so but from a practical standpoint, is it a valid reason?

You obviously dont know what threatening means.

threat·en·ing
ˈTHretniNG/
adjective

1. having a hostile or deliberately frightening quality or manner.
   "her mother had received a threatening letter"
   synonyms: menacing, intimidating, bullying, frightening, hostile;
   formalminatory
   "a threatening letter"
   • LAW
     (of behavior) showing an intention to cause bodily harm.
   • (of a person or situation) causing someone to feel vulnerable or at risk.
     "she was a type he found threatening"

Yes a child drawing a gun could be considered threatening.

So you're telling me that an elementary school kid with a crayon drawing of a gun would make you feel threatened, vulnerable or at risk?

I didnt say they fired her for no reason. I just said they could. The fact that they picked that reason doesnt change they could have done it with no reason.

I understand that they could have fired her for no reason and I already acknowledged that. But they fired her for a specific reason that did not violate any law or policy.
Firing someone for no reason does not discriminate and lays no blame or fault with the person being fired. However, firing someone for a stated reason that violates no law or policy discriminates and specifically lays the blame or fault with the person being fired.

Would you feel the same way if they fired someone for wearing a Black Lives Matter pin on their shirt as opposed to no reason at all?

Yes I think they had a valid reason to fire her. My guess is she was well aware of their policy about firearms in the work place and decided to ignore it.

I already told you she never brought the gun on the work premises. So again, do you think it was a valid reason?

I'm telling you that your opinion doesnt dictate what makes something threatening and it certainly didnt work on the person that reported the stupid kid.

Yeah, you told me that already. But you didn't answer any of my questions.

1.) Are you telling me that an elementary school kid with a crayon drawing of a gun would make you feel threatened, vulnerable or at risk?

2.) In the case of the woman who was fired for having a CCW permit; Would you feel the same way if they fired someone for wearing a Black Lives Matter pin on their shirt as opposed to no reason at all?

3.) Also regarding the case of the woman who was fired for having a CCW permit, she never brought the gun on the work premises. So again, do you think it was a valid reason?

1. Was the kid telling my son and all the other kids how he's going to one day shoot up the school?

In this case, no.

2. Was the woman talking crazy? I'd like to see the story of someone being fired for having a CCW.

Here you go.

Have you ever heard about how parents are called into school because the pictures the kid drew are troubling?





You don't think you'd be concerned if your kid drew this?

These pictures here are inherently disturbing as they depict images of bloody violence. The case I'm speaking of was simply a crayon drawing of a gun. There is nothing inherently disturbing about a picture of a gun unless you're a craven pansy.

Can they detain me downtown for up to 72 hours or something like that? Without technically being arrested or charged with a crime?

They dont even have to do that. They can just plant some drugs on you and arrest you.

It may take a few victims before the judges and DA's realize a lot of people arrested by this one particular cop always seem to have the same story. He planted drugs on me, he was abusive, he raped me. These guys need to have body cams on at all times. I don't worship the cops. They work for us and the power has gone to their heads.

What made me sick was when Trump said cops should rough up the people they arrest.

Trump and his supporters really are deplorable.

Drumpf is speaking to his base. The white boys that marched down south with the bon fires and pitchforks.

The problem isn't that white boys marched with bon fires and pitchforks. The problem is, they stopped.

Poor drunk cat lady - Either you've gotten even sicker while I was a way or you've finally come out from under your rock.

I know you hate it but this is still the US and slime like you simply do not belong in a free society.

Hell, for that matter, you don't belong on a decent planet.

This planet and this country is made up of many colors, creeds, religions, yaada yaada and the US was built on the principle of inclusion.

Back to the topic, you would be in favor of shooting this little boy if he were Black or Brown.

If I don't belong on his planet, you just do something about it.

The child got a toy gun. He should have a toy gun to prepare him for being comfortable in handling a real gun at around 11 years old. Teach him to hunt. Teach him to protect himself. In this world, with these democrats, those are skills he will need.
