Boy arrested for posting a gun picture.

Yes I read the whole article.

We live in a hypersensitive time these days. I see nothing wrong with what he posted in the caption. I remember bringing bb guns to school and being "ready to go to school" with them. Even had them for show and tell a few times.

I would encourage every kid to post a picture of an AR-15 on their social networking accounts. We need to desensitize everyone from panicking every time they see one.

you seem to forget he lives in CT. They are kind of sensitive about anyone making remarks about schools and pictures of guns.

There is a fine line between common sense and stupidity. He falls in to the latter

Really? Perhaps with the caption "Going to the movies!"?

Why not? Aren't there lots of AR-15s/M16s in the movies these days?

Interesting that the Liberal media/Hollywood gets a pass on violent imagery but a kid doesn't, isn't it? I mean, it's not like they glorify mass murder and moral subjectivity or anything, right?

In other news, Obama's sons continue to post pics of illegal guns (prohibited persons) and drug operations on Facebook all day long and LE does jack squat.

So you are defining the limit of free speech to "poor taste?" There are many people who post stupid things on the Internet. Talking about violence is not the same as committing violence. Posting a pic of an AR on FB with the caption, "going to the movies" is not the same as showing up at the theater with a loaded rifle and pointing it at people.

Freedom involves risks.

Somehow the ghetto kids who post a pic of them holding guns with caption "George Zimmerman we are comming for you" gets a pass?
