i saw him in the prison
If we had all students carrying guns we would have much safer schools!
The still rulers we carry around in aviation is more dangerous than a bb gun, let aside the hacksaws and air drills.
A bb gun????
PS. Considering the cops shot two bystanders while trying to hit a guy waving a metro card in Times Square last week, this kid is lucky they didn’t turn him into swiss cheese a la Amadou Diallo.
He was gonna shoot up all the planes
Yo, Thug Life son!
They kick little kids out of school for pointing a finger and yelling “bang” in the playground nowadays, or even drawing a picture of a gun. The response to this is surprising in that I’m surprised it was so reasonable.
@Anon – I appreciate the response from FDNY and NYPD. I’m sure the call to them wasn’t “HS student with BB gun”.
anon.an.on seems like you just don’t get it or really are ignorant…….just tell me how the police knew it was “only a bb gun”??? a bb gun can do serious damage if a person is shot for example in the face I guess you haven’t heard of any shootings in schools across the country??
I saw this happen. There were atleast 4 police vans and 4 or 5 squad cars, lots of police running around. Seems a bit over the top for a BB gun.
