I'm very unhappy.

I think y'all are missing the main point...
The truck should have been impounded and the kid arrested - Sorry!

If you don't think that some kids have never figured out that they can put a gun in one (or more) cars/trucks and ammo in another, figuring that if ONE got caught then all was not lost - Well you aren't thinking things through...
Things aren't like they were in the 50s & 60s anymore! When we disagreed a fist fight ensued = I can't imagine that anyone would have thought to bring a gun - Let alone use one on either their foe, or the student body in general...
I don't know where things went wrong - But, Like It Or Not, they did.

Security guards should take such matters seriously. But some of them are given too much authority and lack the brains and common sense to be reasonable.

Give some people a badge. Back in the day of active patrols,I hated working with security guards. They loved telling me my job. I arrested one once.
We just had an 8 hour lockdown at a local high school, because someone found, their words "A bullet", in a hallway. Turns out it was a spend .22 case. Kid probably was shooting at the range over the weekend and one stuck to the bottom of his shoe. This crap has to stop.
Just my 2 cents.

problem is, you go to jail for fist fights now too. I got "arrested" thrown in handcuffs when i was 17 (until they realized i was 17) for defending myself in school and the school wanted to press charges on me for bodily injury or some crap. the other kid dropped them because he was 18. now, this zero tolerance crap has gotten WAY out of hand, not long ago a youngen got in big trouble because he brought a lego toy to school that had a weapon with him.

This sounds like the story we all probably heard recently where a shopkeeper in England found a single .22 cartridge on the threshold of the door to his shop. This must have frightened him as somehow, the cops were called.

Eight-plus hours later, after closing down the area for blocks around, and searching for who knows what, the officers figured someone probably just dropped it while fishing change or keys out of a pocket.

Good use of the taxpayers' time and money.

These aren't just security guards at california high schools. they are usually from the sheriff's dept. the school my wife teaches at just lost one of their few good students in a shooting. the kid wasn't the intended target, but he is dead none the less. of course, talk of "retribution" began immediately and there were reports of shots fired near the school for the last few days. i can understand zero tolerance at inner city schools that face violence everyday, but admins with visions of Dangerous Minds in their heads while sitting in quaint suburbia need to cool it.

Huh?

Columbine is in "quaint suburbia" and can guarantee they don't tolerate ammo and/or guns on campus. And rightly so.

Be safe.

There's no doubt some, or maybe many, working in the government schools are brain dead. However, I don't think the "violation of constitutional rights" stuff applies. You want to go to the school, you play by it's rules. You exercise your constitutional rights by going elsewhere to get yourself educated if you don't like the rules.

What always makes me wonder is that school administrators have advanced degrees, like PhD's and stuff. How can you be that stupid and get through 16 years of school?

I was a school principal for about eighteen years.

Common sense was always a part of what I did. These clowns that are in charge now need to be strung up.

We are in big trouble folks.
