Here we go again with the total asinine response of government school officials. The Washington Post reports that a little five-year-old from Dowell Elementary School in Lusby, Maryland was questioned by school officials for over two freakin hours after he showed a friend his cowboy-style cap gun on the way to school. The plastic, orange-tipped cap gun his parents bought him  at Frontier Town, a western-themed adventure park. The little five-year old was so upset he reportedly wet himself. The list of previous incidents of this nature is now so long that it has prompted Maryland Sen. J. B. Jennings to introduce a bill to stop such idiotic over reactions being played out over and over again in schools.

Sounds to me like the idiots at the Dowell Elementary School in Lusby, Maryland need to GROW THE FUCK UP!!! -JRoycroft
