Autistic student in Conroe ISD arrested for playing with 'imaginary rifle"
CONROE, Texas (FOX 26) - Handcuffed and hauled away. It happened Monday to a 5th grade autistic student at Conroe Independent School District's Bozman Intermediate school.

The offense alleged against 12-year-old David Sims is brandishing an "imaginary" rifle at his art teacher, an educator who apparently felt threatened.

"She (CISD Police Officer) just put handcuffs on me and told me I need to go with her," said David Sims.
Amy Sims says she wasn't notified of the classroom incident until after her son was in custody. Like many students challenged with autism, Amy says her son simply didn't understand "make believe" gunplay on campus has become inappropriate behavior.

"Being put in handcuffs, not knowing what he did wrong, I could have had a talk with him and told him look, I know you like to play guns, but you can't do it in school," said Amy Sims.

David spent two hours and eleven minutes at the Juvenile Detention Center. Montgomery County Attorney J.D. Lambright says given his age and disability it's likely criminal charges can be avoided.

"We want to get them turned around and on the right path," said Lambright.

The DA says criminal charges can be avoided. Can someone please tell me what the hell the criminal charge would be?

Just a thought here...Maybe, just maybe, the article title is misleading. Who knows how often, how many times, but this kid has done this before and he made a verbal threat.

"Lambright says the imaginary rifle fire from David Simms was reportedly preceded by a verbal threat and had happened in class before."

This most recent snafu could have been the last straw for a long suffering teacher or admin. Maybe not but I'd bet mommy knew this wasn't his 1st time and should have had her "talk" with him before this.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Teacher sounds like a genius. DA sounds like a bigger genius.

Too bad being an asshole is still legal.

 

[GOPerfect]

The Sim's family tells FOX 26 Conroe ISD has informed them David must attend an alternative disciplinary school for the remainder of the Spring semester.

Absolutely unexceptionable!

 

[GOPerfect]

This is me crying for the fate of these United States!

Doesn't matter, I could walk up to you every day and tell you I am going to punch you in the face but until I do its not assault.

I am start my own country, our laws, rule #1 You can say whatever the fuck you want #2 You can own any weapon you want including tanks, battleships, fighter jets. #3 The only taxes shall be on the import and export of goods. #4 All laws apply equally to everyone. #5 To be a citizen you must be born from the parents which are citizens of this country or you must apply to be a citizen, we have the right to deny anyone from becoming a citizen for any reason.

Maybe not but it's potentially "terroristic threat."

 

[Grimscale]

Remember this famous line from a movie?

"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Now the Dread Pirate Roberts would be arrested on imaginary brandishing and terroristic threats.

Guess no more Cowboy's & Indians, or Cops n Robbers... No more GI Joe...

Indoctrination!

Is all it is... Sacrifice a few, to make examples for the many!

Likely be avoided. He’s not ruling it out.

INTERPRETATION: Continue the indoctrination process!!

In Texas, no less.

We're fucked.

This is what happens when a bunch of liberal fucks from california migrate to other states!!

Guess no more Cowboy's & Indians, or Cops n Robbers... No more GI Joe...

Indoctrination!

I've said this numerous times, the gun grabbing socialists are fine with these school shootings. They help them to push their agenda, which is obvious by what has taken place just since the Florida shooting.

I am wondering when it will happen but I am expecting that someday in the not too distant future - maybe a year or two from now - I will be arrested along with my grandson being placed in protective custody because someone makes a complaint that they will have seen us playing cops and robbers or cowboys and aliens (or indians - God forbid) with toy guns or because we are having a water gun fight. It is coming believe me - it my not be me and my grandson - but some poor old granddad will be arrested for just that in the current version of Bizarro World in which we live - mark my words! Then again, some kid may get locked up for singing this in school:

There was a time when this country was made of people who would eat a shit sandwich, wash it down with a bucket of warm piss, smile quaintly, and ask for seconds. What a steaming pile of pussies we have all become. It's a miracle half a dozen countries haven't decided to invade us by now. There are days I truly wish for arnageddon just so the whiney little fucks can be erradicated and we don't have to listen to their shit.
