For playing with an Airsoft gun at home:
WAVY-TV reports that while waiting for the school bus, the boys were fooling around with an airsoft replica handgun, shooting plastic pellets at a target attached to a tree, with a safety net rigged up to catch any off target pellets.
A neighbor saw them and called in a complaint to police. The caller even acknowledged that the gun wasn’t real, telling the 911 dispatcher “This is not a real one, but it makes people uncomfortable. I know that it makes me (uncomfortable), as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun.”
“it makes me (uncomfortable), as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun.”
Somehow, I bet she’s perfectly comfortable seeing “peace officers” roll down the streets in tanks with SWAT teams in tow to serve a low-risk warrant to a non-violent offender of a victim-less crime.
I give up trying to convince people anymore. It you can’t see it now – you deserve what you get.
I begin to think Alan Moore was right, especially when we poke a little at Rorschach.
“I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret.”
“We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.”
“It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.”
“Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.”
“You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat and I had my hands about it.”
“The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout ‘SAVE US!’…and I’ll look down and whisper ‘No.”
“None of you understand. I’m not locked up in here with YOU. You’re locked up in here with ME.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
Rorschach is the Alpha Clover. Don’t be fooled by his moodring technology. He’s only concerned about others, and has nothing of his own. A total bad-ass with the ability to live a completely authentic and individual life. Yet he chooses not to. It’s bizarre, almost like he’s a cartoon or something. Oh wait…

Parenting tip – appear in your misbehaving kids room when they least expect it, wearing a ghillie suit, or a rorschach mask. Your life-lessons tend to stick longer, at a deeper level, when you reinforce them with a heavy dose of trauma.
Of course, the media requiring sensationalism to sell a story makes it worse. Defamation of character might be in order all around.
Penal code section 10254(a)(1) – Unlawful to attempt or make someone feel emotionally uncomfortable in public.
“it makes me (uncomfortable), as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun.”
So it seems that what makes her comfortable is to see boys acting like girls.
Also, it was kind of disturbing to read the other mom refer to her son as being the schools property once he got on the bus.
I didn’t read that, was it in an article you found?
“My son is my private property.” said Khalid’s mother, Solangel Caraballo. “He does not become the school’s property until he goes to the bus stop, gets on the bus, and goes to school.”

That’s twisted. What’s worse is how the school principal tried to start a rumor that the boys were shooting people with their little toy, probably as a means of justifying her ridiculous charges that the boys had a firearm on school property.
Almost as bad is the author’s mention of “Following last year’s Sandy Hook tragedy”. I call it the Sandy Hook Hoax.
We’re fuckin doomed. DOOMED, I tell you.
Dear DS,
The mother of the child with the toy was more resolute than many would have been in the face of intimidation.
But she really shouldn’t have conceded that her son is EVER “the school’s property.”
I’m assuming that was your point also.
Yes, that was my point.
Property? What the hell?!… This woman is unhinged.
Since the “mom” called armed goons who are very likely to kill the kids with the airsoft pistol, the moms of the boys would be fully justified in stomping a mudhole in the ass of the snitch-mom.
Calling the fuckin cops is as bad as sic’ing your dog on someone. In some ways it’s worse. The mom who called the cops put those kids’ lives in danger. She deserves to be snatched baldheaded by the other moms in that town.
It’s idiots like this who help legitimize thugs with guns and badges. So I guess she’d have a problem with the bb guns we never were without. Where do they come from?
The 911 caller should pay for the cost of the call, it’s not a valid use of 911. The dispatcher who indulged her and sent the authorities should be fired.
