They arrested a whole middle school? That seems a bit extreme...[ROFL1]

The authorities don't like it when you defend yourself. Hopefully we won't get another left wing liberal in the White House after this one is gone. I also hope the kid sues the school and wins a large settlement. Todays society is out of whack when they punish those who should be receiving a medal...

That is another part of society that is out of whack.
In this day and age they would probably expel Jacob Ryker : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Kin...chool_shooting
When Kinkel's rifle ran out of ammunition and he began to reload, wounded student Jacob Ryker tackled him, assisted by several other students. Kinkel drew the Glock and fired one shot before he was disarmed, injuring Ryker again as well as another student. The students restrained Kinkel until the police arrived and arrested him.[5] A total of seven students were involved in subduing and disarming Kinkel.[6]
Nickolauson died at the scene; Walker died after being transported to the hospital and kept on life support until his parents arrived. The other students, including Ryker, were also taken to the hospital with a variety of wounds. Ryker had a perforated lung, but he made a full recovery.
The kid did a great thing, no question about it at all. Is the school in the wrong?.. Absolutely.
Being really enthusiastic about a huge cash settlement over it all? Disappointing.
It's because he didn't use a school-approved ball point pen, or throw his backpack at the guy. Physical violence isn't cool... might hurt the shooter's self esteem.
I will continue to say this until it is no longer true:
The world is upside down.
Which is why 9/11 happened. The passengers did as they were instructed by the gov't and complied. The only building not hit was because the plane went down. Yet 75% complied and as a result over 3500 people were killed. No, the gov't doesn't want sheep.... /sarcasm
