Dominick sends us a link to a local Fox news station’s article about an unidentified student who was suspended from school because he wrestled a loaded .22 caliber revolver away from a 15-year-old who threatened to shoot another student and brandished the handgun; The student says he wrestled the .22 caliber RG-14 Revolver away from […] Read the rest @ This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here » Blog Archive » Student suspended for wrestling gun away from shooter

He did co-operate with the investigation, and that is why he was suspended, not because he wrestled the gun away.

No, he did NOT. & that - according to the IP - is why he was suspended.

That's "he did NOT cooperate with the investigation....."

From reading the article, it could be this is a school with a lot of problems with violence, even gangs. What is a student doing in school with a gun? How did he get it in? Why are his friends sitting around with him when he is holding a gun in his lap? Why didn't they go and report the fact he was carrying a gun instead of just sitting there, and, then, when an argument arises and he points the gun at someone, then they do something? The adiministration is probably trying to deal with long term problems relating to violence, gangs and weapons, problems in which all of those students are most likely involved. So, when they didn't cooperate with the adminstration, they were suspended. The administration would like to get at the bottom of these things and try to get rid of these problems, but as long as the kids stick together and don't share what they know, the problems will continue.

Apparently, he was suspended for not cooperating with the investigation, which is still no reason to suspend him. What kind of message does that send? Are they upset that the kid didn’t get to kill four other people so it would count for Mother Jones’ arbitrary statistics?

That is every reason to suspend him. Just another Fox propaganda peice without nailing the facts down. A gun was involved, in the setting of a school. Anyone not cooperating in the investigation should be suspended or even face prosecution.
