Nailed
An unnamed 11-year-old boy at Rawlinson Road Middle School in Rock Hill, S.C., was stopped by Assistant Principal Dianne McCray, who asked what was jingling in his pocket. He handed over ten 3.5” nails, left over from a Boy Scout trip. The administrator turned the boy over to the school police officer, who arrested the boy for possession of “weapons” at school. “Is a pencil a weapon?” demanded the boy’s father. Apparently so: state law says anything “that can be construed or used as a weapon on school grounds can be classified as unlawful,” says a police spokesman. (Rock Hill Herald) ...”Can” doesn’t mean a rational person would do so, sir.
