It's so much easier when we use thought before action.

PHILADELPHIA - A 10-year-old girl was placed in handcuffs and taken to a police station because she took a pair of scissors to her elementary school.

School district officials said the fourth-grade student did not threaten anyone with the 8-inch shears, but violated a rule that considers scissors to be potential weapons.

Scissors.. My God, they still allow those over there?!

 

[freako104]

apparently not. this is stupid. used to be a requirement for kids to have a pair in elementary school

Certainly not 8 inch shears though. The kind usually allowed in schools wouldn't cut butter.
