I'd like to be notified in advance if I was on the list. Seems like a step backwards.

The hard part is we've backed ourselves into a corner. When a school shooting happens we "didn't do what we could have to stop it," but then when something seemingly harmless (I don't know the full context, I use that phrase sparingly) like this happens, suddenly everyone is over reacting. Literally a lose, lose situation. Just kinda shitty all the way around, but I'm personally on the "this is nothing a stern talk couldn't have fixed" bandwagon.
I got in a fight in the 5th grade and said "I swear I'm going to kill you" because obviously I was worked up. Principle explained that was serious and sent me home for the day and that was that after speaking with my mother. To think lol, in this day in age I'd probably be a 5th grader in a holding cell.

Jesus, I did finger guns all the time in school. Sad world we live in.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The more behavior the left can get us to believe to be real threats, the more of us they can disarm and otherwise control.
Jeez, would I get the death sentence for finger-banging my teacher?
Yes common sense is no longer common.
I just want God to press the big red reset button and be done with it.

I guess fisting is out then......
While I feel the felony charge is an overreaction, I also feel the title of the article is an oversimplification. It’s not like she just pointed a finger gun and everyone lost their mind. She was asked “If she could kill 5 kids at school, who would they be?” and she singled out specific kids with her finger gun.
Concerning? Yes.
Felonious? No.

Unless you are trying to destroy the evidence.
Ah, the good ol' hand grenade.
I draw the line at kids. Mentally deficient adults are fair game though.
"According to the Kansas City Star, the girl was having a discussion with a classmate who asked if she could kill five people in the room, who would they be. The girl responded by allegedly making a finger gun and pointing it at four students and then pointing it at herself, the outlet reported."
The child asking such a question should be thoroughly evaluated and I'd be curious to know if anything was addressed.
"A spokesperson for the Johnson County District Attorney's Office said after reviewing the evidence the girl was charged with criminal threat, which is a felony offense."
A criminal threat? Society has turned into a giant mass of brainless goo. A criminal threat for "making a finger gun?" Needing to know absolutely nothing else, the Johnson County D.A. sounds like a jackass. Uh oh. Will that get me in trouble?
