She dropped it, but it made me wonder if my little son could have been suspended for brandishing a paperclip?

Kids have been beaten arrested and expelled for plastic butter knives, burping, or playing tag.

turtledove says

That was pretty stupid all around. Given all that's gone on, why would a kid think a hoax bomb would be received well at a school?

Daddy's idea. Daddy is an Islamic Activist, former candidate for the Sudanese Presidency twice, and a founder and President of a local Islamic Org. He's courted controversy many times, including debating that guy who burned the Koran.

Our Presidents are wimps.

Would you really prefer to live under Putin?

bgamall4 says

They knew it wasn't a bomb. That is why they did this. Do you really think they were incompetent and thought it was a bomb too? Really, Ironman?

They only knew it wasn't a bomb, after they made sure it wasn't a bomb. No other way to know for sure.

Putin hates Zionism more than I do, so Dan, Strategist would not want to live under Putin.

Putin hates Islam. Isn't that a plus on his part.

bgamall4 says

But I think he has some qualities of sovereign leader that American presidents lack

Right on.

bgamall4 says

Thunderlips, I am referring to tolerance for gay people. He is actually quite tolerant of all ethnic groups as far I I can tell.

Putin has punished those who assault gays. His attitude about homosexuality was the same of the West 5 minutes ago.

Meanwhile in Ukraine a few months ago.

Before the march, the far-right organization Right Sector -- which fields a battalion of soldiers to fight against Russia in eastern Ukraine -- called gay people "perverts" who "need to be cured" and promised to "prevent this sodomist gathering."

Isn't it interesting that all these 20-something guys full of anger and energy have avoided 6 draft rounds and haven't volunteered for the Army?

The only interesting thing here is the stupidity of Putin's brides posting stupid shit.

A country of 40-something million has a mobilization potential of roughly 6-7 million males. They have a standing army of less than 250 thousand. So the fact that a 20-something guy is not in the army can't be used as a basis for a conclusion that he "dodged" anything or "didn't volunteer" for something because there is no fucking way everyone is drafted at the same time. Not to mention that the troops are rotated on the front lines every 2 or 3 weeks. There were plenty of 20-something guys walking the streets of USA during WWII for fucks' sake.

PS. It's the second time (at least second) you're putting this shit here. Are you on fucking payroll or you just dreaming to be awarded by Putin's dick in your ass for exemplary troll service and in meantime just volunteering to distribute this shit around?

Funny, because people are paying $1000 to get out of the army.

And bullshit on the WW2 analogy, because the US was fully mobilized except for people with physical defects. In fact, 15-years old lied to get into the military to "Slap the Japs". That's how Hackworth got started (though he only got to Europe too late).

These are the Ultranationalists, the ones who are screaming for the blood of the "Dirty Soviets and Jews" in Donbass. But like most fascists, it's one thing to attack armed Homos with bats and knives, and something else to fight soldiers who fight back.

Like I said, hardcore fascist wimps, hating on Russians and Gays, but won't go into the army - kind of like Neocon Chickenhawks in the USA.

And no, I don't make 5 cubic meters of natural gas to post. However, plenty of people in the Eastern Virginia suburbs are using Sock Puppet Software, documented via Government RFPs:

Blowharder, Straw Man:

Draft Dodging is a major problem in Ukraine, as witnessed by that Putin Loving Rag, that Den of Hippydom, the Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/ukraines-military-mobilization-undermined-by-draft-dodgers/2015/04/25/fc3a5818-d236-11e4-8b1e-274d670aa9c9_story.html

Rank-and-file soldiers can make upwards of $200 a month, with commanders eligible for far more. But those who shirk the call to duty — or go AWOL, as about 13,000 have — risk fines and years of jail time. In one recent case, a journalist speaking out publicly against the draft was charged with treason.

But that isn’t enough to scare many potential draftees from dodging.

“I would rather sit in prison for three years — and be fed and secure — than serve,” said Andrey, 26, a metal plant worker who was drafted in March. “After a whole year of this government, we still have to work for two days to buy a loaf of bread. I don’t want to go fight for that kind of government.”

Andrey is from Slovyansk, an eastern Ukrainian city that came under heavy assault last summer, with troops eventually wresting the city from pro-Russian rebels. But the local population’s sympathies are still divided, and of the approximately 40 people Andrey knows who recently received draft orders, he says only one is actually responding.

“We were fighting for autonomy, for the right to live and work in our own region. When the army came, they just bombarded us for two months in a row,” Andrey said. “And now I’m supposed to go and fight for them? I don’t think so.”

Though penalties for draft dodging are steep, the process is fairly straightforward. Summons are sent to the city where one is registered — normally a birthplace or place of work. But if one has moved or has a job that is not officially registered, it is easy to hide in plain sight, as Andrey and Igor are doing.

The military says it has completed about three-quarters of the planned mobilization, now in its fifth wave, with a sixth already proposed. Response rates vary widely across the country, however: Igor’s home region of Kharkiv, for example, has the most abysmal turnout, with only about 17 percent of those receiving draft orders responding. Meanwhile Lviv, in the far west, reportedly boasts the highest response rate, with near full turnout.

But that's not the only problem, when rotated out of combat, only 15-20% return to their units:

But even with the majority of draftees turning up for medical checks, the military is worried. Rotating soldiers off the battlefield, they expect only 15-20 percent to return voluntarily. New soldiers get only 26 days of general training, plus a week or two to practice their specialization. So without a steady stream of recruits, they worry that the quality of soldiers could drop. Only 1 in 8 troops is a volunteer, not nearly enough to make up the recruitment gap.

When only 15-20% of your soldiers come back after being rotated off the front line, the country has a serious Morale problem.

Now you know why Ukraine is taking every Swastika Tattooed Skinhead that flies into Kiev looking to kill the Russian and the Jew.

Yeah, well, the mayor of the town is a Pam Geller Islamophobe.

You know Gary, you worry me. Not a single acknowledgment or criticism of Islamic terrorism. A constant criticism of Islam's #1 enemy....Zionism.

Yes the sound of Snowden's cry for mercy is deafening isn't it?

I don't know about prefer to live in Russia there is the climate and booze problems to consider. But he is the more reasonable person to get behind in the righteous fight against Towelhead jihadists that wants to destroy everything I believe in.

Shut up Liberal, Putin will protect your right to exist!

We'll see Sunshine we'll see.
Did you notice Merkle has wipped that cheeky condecending Liberal grin off her face, now that shit is getting REAL?

We'll see how well her romp down "Fun with Jihadi Dick and Jihadi Jane" lane goes.

Once again conservative scum demonstrates that falsely accusing people of crimes is an acceptable tactic when promoting racism. Yet, he'll blame anyone saying that racism still exists as race baiting.

Bwhahahaha.

This is actually a dumb move, because now that it's a civil trial, we'll be able to hear the school's side of the story, the employees of which have here-to-fore been stopped from telling their side of the story.

I'm starting to respect those guys from the Right Sector on some level.

... and yet Ukraine managed to deny Putin any kind of meaningful territorial gains. Compare his grandiose plans for "Novorossia from Luhansk to Odessa" with the pathetic sliver of land he's holding onto now (and will have to surrender come Dec 31). Quarter-million army capable of stopping Khuilo's hordes is a fact of life. And they did manage to build it in less than 2 years after 20+ years of silly pacifism and trust in "Budapest Memorandum".

Why is that "thunderlips" guy so butt-hurt about Right Sector? Is he some kind of homo? But he also seems to like Putin who prohibits gay parades in Russia. This does not make any sense...

Buddy, if Putin wanted to, he'd be in Kiev in 72 hours and you know it. If he let the DPR/LPR go crazy, they'd be in Kharkov within a day.

The Gabon of Europe couldn't possibly stop it. Actually, that's an insult to Gabon because their GDP per capita is about 300% more than Ukraine.

Moldavia is richer than Ukraine.

Svidomy! If only your impotent rage could be converted into work energy, Ukraine might be energy-independent.

Ukraine's new name is "Country 404". Some Tatar gangster in the pay of Kolomoisky blew up electric lines, threatened the repair guys who went to fix it, and then they stabbed a Colonel of Interior Ministry who came to sort things out. Then Porky gave into the gangsters!

Kiev is totally powerless, cannot even keep order in the country.

Meanwhile, I hear the 7th Draft Mobilization is on the way.

Patriotic Ukrainians can get out of it for about $1000 in the right hands, as anybody with any money does.
