Can he be rehabilitated?

Well can he?

He's a hardened criminal. At 6

I'm not sure... I think lethal injection might be the only course of action. We need to dispose of them early before we have to pay too much for the constant rehabilitation. In and out of jail is not rehabilitation...Too much stress on the tax payers.

I think that is a bunch of crap. I too did something similar when I joined the boy scouts and wanted to feel all grown up. Luckily it was during a time when that sort of behavior was actually expected (Because thats how kids ARE!) and in a place that was tolerant of childrens habits. What has happened to the world?????

When I was in High School many moons ago, I remember that the class president showed up to a football game drunk (he fell down the bleachers). All that happened was the principal gave him a ride home and a firm talking to. It didn't happen again.

It shows that some people have their brain where chickens have their eggs. Maybe all the kids at school should be sentenced to jail since you can stab somebody with a pencil.

And to think that at one time, a teacher would just confiscate the offending object. Do these idiots know that a sharpened pencil can poke a person's eye out?

Confiscate?

When I was in grade school, everyone I knew was in Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts and we all had our "official Scout pocket knife" or swiss army knife hanging on our belt... at school. Wasn't anything odd or strange about that.

Society has gone completely CRAZY...

Well, the definition of offensive object has changed. I took a Bowie knife to school for show and tell one time.
The teacher hand delivered it back to my father.
But yes, as a society we seem to be getting loonier by the day.

Just another example of how we have ruined America, or allowed it to be ruined. This is not a conservative or liberal thing, this is an "American thing". We fight in Afghanistan, but we don't deny that the enemy is in Pakistan. We spend billions to bail out the richest among us so they won't miss their huge bonuses...and we can't even get it right for a poor little six year old boy. Lord have mercy on us, we are total failures, and we keep asking "what's wrong". Look in the mirror, we are what is wrong. Have suggestions for our problems...I'm listening!

You can carry exposed firearms to a political rally or presidential speech and is no big deal, but if you take a boyscout utensil to school, you can be expelled.

Just another day.

Well, it appears somebody has some common sense but it raises another question. When I went to school they provided eating utensils including forks and knives in the cafateria. Is a kid using his scout kit carrying a weapon and kids using school utensils not? Or do kids nowadays just eat out of a dog dish?

Yeah I sort of knew yesterday they would. Thing is it should never have gone this far. This should be a non story. Some semblance of common sense should have prevailed. That of course assumes common sense exists in their minds at all.

And I know what you are all saying: At least it's not a political thread by graphicgr8s!

But I actually have put some pictures in the PYP section. You guys are getting boring.

Unfortunately the "kids" of today are getting loonier as well - can't take any chances.

It's to be expected living in a generally immoral society hell bent on creating a "godless" society.
