11-Year-Old Arrested For Threatening His Own Bullies | Gay Blog Unicorn Booty: Gay Friendly Beyond

["He said he -wished- he had a gun, so he could get rid of other students who he said had been bullying him."]

Any statement invoking the word "wish" before "gun" is not a threat...it's a fantasy.

The police give as much of a shit about justice as the opposing team does about yours winning the ballgame. That's why they chose a job that came with absolute discretion and almost no accountability! :-D

The fact that both the bullies and the bullied were punished here--with the victim receiving the higher penalty--is proof that the biggest crime the government sees here is that someone didn't use them to settle a personal dispute.

Name-calling? Shame on you. Defending yourself? Go to jail.

On another note...I hope that kid grows up to be a rock star.

Power to the people.

hey i was bullied once, i told the guy i would gouge out his eyeballs and skull fuck him.
Dont judge it worked!

When will we be ALLOWED to stand up for ourselves?

Yep, common sense isn't very common anymore - certainly not regarding this kerfluffle.

There is no justice, the evil win and the virtuous lose, the world is unfair.

Where is the justice?

The school is responsible for allowing the bullying to continue.

Ah if only the lad were Sicilian. The bully(s) would just so happen to have an accident befall them. Problem solved.

p.s. thanks to all of my uncles.

Fire the incompetent school administrators.

He shouldn't talk to them, he should just kick their asses. Nothing shuts up a bully faster than a fist sandwich.

Since when is it illegal to say "I wish I had a gun"? That's some bullshit.

well he learned a valubale lesson that day (Cops and authorty can't be trusted)

The schools actions are reprehensible. If authorities do nothing then they should not complain about what this child says. On another note, I do not see where any crime has been committed by our 11 year old victim. "Threatening" should not be a crime. Words are not a crime, only actions. This is bs.

What ever happened to the "look of death"? You can't get arrested for something your eye's say.

I think some bullies dad's need a good ol'fashion ass whoopin' for not doing what needed done a longtime ago.

added to "Fight Room".

Next time just say you're going to lop off their limbs with the family claymore.

Interesting question,....can you just threaten to have the family "muscle" beat them into a "near" coma ? How "threat" can you be in your dialogue,.....and at what point is it "self defense" ?

I'd feel better, if this were a little better established.

If your kid is an 11 year old "black belt- something or other",....and May,....or May NOT,....be able to make good on a threat to "break all your arms",...can he in legal safety ! How about if hes only a brown belt ? How bout NO belt,....but "biggish" ?

What a thug, I bet the girlies are flocking.

Unfortunately the kid said one of the magic words, "gun." But something should have been done before it got to this level. The tap dancing by the school official is exactly like the tap dancing going on at South Hadley (MA) High School. Except the stakes are higher. The bullying victim hung herself. Nine students have been charged with statutory rape, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment and disturbing school assmblies. The school is being investigated for ignoring complaints by the victim and her family. Apparently there were situations where teachers witnessed bullying and walked away.

we are living in a narcissistic l society and those who cannot keep up with it gets the brunt of this narcissism.

if you guys want to help "future victims" and at the same time help "future bullies"...try to be promote a more responsible lifestyle, so kids could learn how to be more sensitive and do what is right ..instead of growing up to the charlie sheen and the lady gagas that the we seem to gawk

Alright this kinda stuff needs to stop. We do not need to give citations to children whether they are the bully or the kid who said he wish's he had a gun. When I was that age I was bullied and I'm sure I said things like I wish I had a gun all the time. I wouldn't want any of my bullies to go to jail for it, thats just asinine. THIS KIND OF THINKING THAT WE NEED TO LEGALLY PUNISH CHILDREN FOR THINGS THEY SAY OR DO NEEDS TO STOP. Parents need to be the ones to punish children. Schools need to address these problems with detention and saturday school we do not need the law in it! When I was in high school 10 years ago we were allowed to have hunting rifles in our vehicles during hunting season, of course I went to a country hick school but none the less the cops do not need to be called for this CHILD saying this!

Further proof that people who go after gay people only do so because it's the only thing that proves their masculinity. I hope the bullies get shit for acting like such pussies towards a "fag".

The family should be suing the shit out of the school, the cops and the bullies!! Hope they get a good lawyer!!

This school did nothing to help this 11 year old boy. The school should be held responsible. But when their negligence is pointed out, they blame the 11 year old.
