Boy brings deactivated gun to school following harassment

Our friends north of the border are now plagued by what is seemingly a suburban American export: serial bullying.

In Toronto, a 12-year-old boy took a deactivated gun to school because of serial harassment that the school wouldn't do anything about for years. The youngster was reportedly "at his breaking point" and intended to scare the aggressors.

The barrel of the gun had been welded shut. The gun was no more than a club with a handle.

Outrageously, prosecutors charged the 7th-grader with numerous weapons offenses.

Why were charges filed against him at all? No charges were ever filed against the spoiled brats who harassed him.

That'll teach him never to fight back again. Now school officials will probably drug him and slap themselves on the back for creating another "manageable" zombie.

Meanwhile, the bullies will grow up to be incompetent school principals, right-wing politicians, phony ministers, corrupt businesspeople, inept patronage employees, and crooked lawyers. It's the same story I've seen played out in my area countless times.
