14-year-old at the center of "NRA T-Shirt Controversy" now facin - WTRF 7 News Sports Weather - Wheeling Steubenville

Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.

A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that's the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with it's obstructing an officer charge against him.

He's 14 !!! And the original charge was bogus.

So do you risk a public jury trial to make a point... at this point. I would.

Give it a shot, he's got nothing to lose...what a bunch of horse crap..

What a load of bullshit! I am rapidly losing what little faith I have left in society.

he should sue the school for infringing on his constitutional rights!

 

[kwo51]

He should be a millionaire. Crock of shirt.

 

[armoredman]

Take this one to court, all the way. The judge just gave him a golden opportunity.

In Cali they carry him on their shoulders, but he'd be wearing a gay pride t-shirt...

This whole thing is just nuts....

When I was in High School, I wore a shirt that said and I quote:

To All You Virgins
Thanks for Nothing

Wonder how that would go over today

U would probably get suspended.........

 

[Arckadian]

He is a kid an was just wearing a shirt...... I am not losing my faith in society... I am loosing my faith in people of an "Official Capacity" since they also seemed to have banned common sense and human decency. Notice that the "Arresting Officer" cough moron cough was a policeman not a Sheriff. Funny how that works huh

 

[Cerisecons]

U would probably get suspended.........

That and a finger nail clipper would get him expelled...

I guess if you want to disarm the public and no bills can be passed you start teaching (brain washing) the younger generation that guns are bad. It's a slow but effective process. We need to start teaching our kids firearm safety and the tradition of firearms that this country has if we want them to have firearms in the future!

With 14 year olds now able to get "The morning after pill", are there any virgins out there anymore? Don't they have condom dispensers in elementary school now? Your shirt probably wouldn't get a second look with the way schools almost condone promiscuity.

Kind of sick that they can get the "kill your kid" pill without parents knowledge, but getting an aspirin is verboten, god forbid you give them to your kids to take with them...
And if they talk about you teaching them about safe gun handling, the social workers are at your door...

A police officer unable to do his job because a 14 year old did stop talking WTH?

If that is the kind of police officer we are graduating then we are definitely in trouble. :gayfight:

I am dumbfounded. Glad to see that the educators in his school raised such a ruckus that he was "disturbing the education process" when all they had to do was let him enjoy HIS 1st amendment rights. Where the F*** is the chicken $hit ACLU when this crap is going on??? Oh ya, Only when it suits them. Never mind.
