Third Grade Felons...

Why is everyone so shocked that elementary students are coming to school with guns and plottinng on their teachers?
A group of third graders in Georgia came up with a plot to harm their teacher. They came to class with duct tape, handcuffs and a knife! Now, tell me that this doesn't sound like an episode of a cartoon? Kids see this stuff everyday! So why wouldn't they think that they could get away with it? The only reason they didn't is cause some kid saw a knife in one of the students' backpacks and snitched.
You can check out the article here: http://www.news4jax.com/news/15755299/detail.html.

What trips me out is that "authorities" wanna charge these kids with conspiracy! Can you believe that? As if these third graders had malicious intent. They are 8 and 9 years old for goodness sake! Its an episode of Fosters or Ed, Ed, and Eddy! Remember HOME ALONE...the movie? Same idea right? Or any Disney movie or Scooby-Doo episode. The bad guys are always adults...always authority figures. And we may want to ask what this teacher was doing to make the students want to "harm" her/him. Is there something else going on?
Whoooo....
What a stange world we live in...what a strange world.
