He got exactly what he deserved. It won't ruin his life but it will make him and others think before they act.

Here in Western Wayne County we had a high school science teacher take a pellet gun into school for a science class demonstration. Someone saw him carrying the long gun into school and called police. There were helicopters, fire engines, rescue squads, police all over the campus in a matter of minutes. The campus has about 5,000 students which had to be secured by a school lock down while the police located the weapon. The school has a zero tolerance policy. I believe the teacher has been let go.

A friend’s son took a Swiss Army pocket knife to high school by accident as it was in his pants pocket from the Sunday before. It was one of those knives that is about 1-3/4 inches long and has a little blade that is about 1-1/4 inch long and a little scissors attached. His son compounded the stupidity by showing the knife to another student. He was expelled. The sad end to this is that several years later while attending a university in Ypsilanti he went to a party and was knifed to death by another person attending the same party. He was just in the way of another argument at the party.

A school administrator said that about 2% of the entire student body is responsible for 100% of the trouble that occurs at the school. Teachers have been attacked and teacher’s cars ruined in the parking lot. They can’t relax the rules for one and enforce the rules on another. It has to be a hard and fast response to any action which could lead to trouble. They have a dedicated security force of approximately 14 guards on site.

The major auto company with which I was employed was very relaxed about what went on in the work place. They had trouble with spouses coming into the plants and shooting their spouse over a lovers quarrel. They also had trouble with disgruntled employees coming into the plants and going on a killing spree. They have really tightened their policies now. My daughter works for the same company now and said that if you swear in a meeting it is grounds for dismissal.

Sit up, take notice, and get accustomed to the stricter policies as these behaviors which were allowed in the past will no longer be tolerated in our society. These policies do not take away freedoms but insure the decent and respectable treatment of others in our society.
