It's people this stupid that leads the liberals to believing they're right about knowing whats better for us than we know for ourselves.

Poor kid. What kind of a parent uses their child's backpack to transport firearms?... Obviously a very careless one

What the fuck was the teacher doing snooping through the kids backpack?!

that's it, invasion of privacy. :)

Hell, I built a .44 cal Navy black powder revolver in shop class. We test fired it on the practice football field. Times sure have changed.

Still, that poor kid's parents are dumbasses!

That was probably about the same time we used to Shoot Rabbits and Prairie rats out in the field Behind Rangeview.

Granted, it was a dumb mistake.

But I don't see how they're going to make a charge of child abuse stick.

Child endangerment would not be a problem to make stick, as the child had unguarded access to the weapon. I am only assuming it was loaded.

LIVE REPORTING FROM THE SCENE! (I'll feed you live shots of the live news crew)

Fortunately, I have to go to work today, vacation is over. This time, that is a good thing so I don't have to look at this crap today.

I should turn the sprinkler system on, it over sprays that corner where they are standing...

They had our driveway blocked with their 31 News jeep. Told my wife to be a jerk and make them move it. They were in the middle of their report and the wife had to wave them over to move the jeep. Tee hee... 2nd time 31 news has blocked my driveway, jerks.

She said on the news, "We'll talk to some parents and see what they have to say..." Hopefully she knows spanish.

Hmm, so I guess at their house:

Snack, Check
Crayons, Check
Color book, Check
Pistol, Check.

OK see ya.

Kindergarten is hardcore these days guys. I'm just glad to hear that some poor kid didn't get hurt because of this parent's negligence.

Forum member? I'd never admit to it . . .

Ditto. I'm a young guy but I remember in history classes in middle school our teacher would take us out to the football feild and we'd be able to fire bean guns, and throw spears, and stuff while we learned about certain battles, etc....

Did ya major or minor in spear catching???LOL

We hunted quail and doves with our coach and our principle.

I majored, HAHA. I remember I was able to get that stupid thing about 40 yards and stick too. That was supposedly very good for a kid my time. Then the teacher threw it and he covered the full 100 yards.

Can you imagine standing in an army hundreds of years ago and having thousands of spears and arrows coming down on you from a 100 yards away and all you're carrying is a 3 foot sword... Man, some of those guys had balls and beliefs.

Men were Men and the enemy were Men too.

Hell my freshman year at Heritage in Littleton I built a copy of the Modena Rifle. Now you have a kindergarten kid that was suspended last year for bringing a Lego kit pistol.
Common sense is sorely lacking in the education system.
But this moron parent needs to have their ass removed for leaving a firearm where a child has unsupervised access.


OT- is that the reporter in the dress in the pic? Gurl gots da junk in da trunk!

We did that too. During Classics lessons our teacher took us all outside and we learned about the Battle of Thermopylae by defending the cricket field from Big School by using the tunnel as a choke point :D

BPT

That would be Shaul "look at me, let me give my opinion, I'm special, gimme a donut" Turner

No seriously, why was the teacher digging around in the kid's backpack?

NAZI school.

It's their "right" since the student is in "their" classroom. There is no right of expected privacy once you're on school grounds. A Teacher has every "right" to go through your locker if they want too... "If you don't like it, take your kid to a different school." Which I would do, but all (99.99%)schools operate the same way.

Funny how everything now a days is a "right" isn't it?

Or... they were just trying to figure out who the backpack belonged to by looking at the contents for a name...

LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- Lakewood police, the Mayor, 95% of the CO Democratic party (aka Socialist party), Denver Mayor John Lickmypooper and Dear Leader Oba'Mao shrieked with joy, applauded and then proceeded to heap great praise on the parent of a Colorado kindergartner Wednesday after the child brought a pack of rubbers to school. Our Dear Leader was overheard in a phone call to Speaker 'Wretch' Pelosi stating; "Alas, our party's vision for sexual freedom for the children of America has taken root. We won with first-graders in MA earlier this year and now; under the leadership of our great Comrade Bennett we have a foot-hold in Colorado as well!" Wretch was believed to have responded with; "Oh Mao', I'm so pleased, the only thing that would have been more satisfying would have been the discovery of a gay porn magazine accompanying that pack of rubbers!"

Fortunately, a teacher was violating the child's right to privacy by leveraging the "because we can policy" and discovered the revered "ticklers" in a backpack at Molholm Elementary School on West 9th Avenue in Lakewood. One of the child's parents told police the parent had inadvertently left the rubbers in the child’s backpack. "Well, your absent-mindedness was a stroke of luck, eh!" chimed-in Lickmypooper with a broad smile.

Plans were underway to award the parent with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, given to those who make an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors, but Mao' quickly intervened and said; "Nah...fuck that...give that parent the Medal of Honor. I'm tired of that award being reserved for such a small segment of our population anyway!"

* Satire, not trivializing the magnitude of the real story here.

before I left for work, a very irate parent was yelling at the reporter Shaul Turner (i think) and was very pissed that the school hadn't notified of the dangerous situation. They will use the notification system for school meetings, homework reminders etc, but not for when there is a dangerous situation. (idiot) obviously. Wish I could have gotten a picture of this lady, scary.

I talked with the principles this morning, some parents I guess are keeping their kids home and asking if the school is "Safe". Well, yes, it is safe. Situation was delt with and is over. Move along people.

Ask why the teacher was in the backpack. I want to know if it was a legit reason. People keeping their kids home from school must be ill informed about what happened.

Good Grief-talk about mindlock !!!

I know right?

I realize we're talking kindergartners here, who can hardly even wipe their own ass. If people wouldn't forget to ask important questions every time a gun was involved, we'd probably have a lot less stupid gun laws.

Which important questions are you referring to? The why the teacher was in the pack? Not really important. From 9News: "Police say the teacher was cleaning up at the end of the day and found the gun." Putting stuff in the backpack for the 4-YEAR OLD CHILD to take home?

Seriously, does this idiot have so many guns that he can't keep track of them? He says he had put it in the book bag temporarily, but then forgot to remove it.

We are required to get a license for everything: driving, marriage, employment (depending upon job), home improvement, CCW, etc. etc., but the one very important aspect of our lives, the most important one I believe, we don't require a DAMN license to reproduce. We allow any and all idiots to reproduce at will, to influence the next generation positively or negatively and we wonder why our society is becoming so f'ed up.[Rant2]

Speak for yourself. I was wiping and whipping my siblings' butts when I was 5 [Coffee]

look at his mugshot. looks like a banger. hopefully his lifestyle catches up with him. problem solved.

I've put my gun into our baby bag a time or two. I was damn certain to take it out though. I guess it's easier to keep track of all your gats when you only have one though....

My grandchildren always pack.

people have been trained to fear guns.

A loaded gun in a backpack is not a dangerous situation. It's not going to jump out and start shooting.

A dangerous situation is what happens if the kid showing the gun off, or starts playing with it and pointing it at people.

If child endangerment is illegal then every single parent everywhere should be prosecuted every time they drive anywhere with their kids in the car.
