We start them young in the US

Nine-year-olds at a school in the U.S. state of Georgia brought a broken steak knife, handcuffs and electrical tape to school in a plot to injure their teacher, authorities said on Tuesday.

Teachers at Center Elementary School in Waycross, Georgia, uncovered the plot on Friday when a pupil reported that a child in the third grade had brought a weapon into the school.

"The plan was to handcuff the teacher, put tape over her mouth and hit her over the head with the paperweight and possibly cut her," said Lt. Duane Caswell of Waycross police, adding that some students said the knife was simply there to cut the tape.

"It was a rather elaborate scheme for children of that age," he said.

The students spent a week planning the attack and planned to carry it out on the day they were caught, Caswell said.

Nine pupils in the grade, most of whom were 9 years old, have been disciplined and some were given long-term suspensions, said Theresa Martin, spokeswoman for the Ware County school district in the southeastern part of the state.

Caswell said police were also planning to charge three of the children in the juvenile court system with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on a school property.

In northern Uganda, any self-respecting 9 year old has already graduated from machete massacres to AK-47s.

If you did, they might not get their arses kicked so badly when they invade Iran.

Yeah. They got caught.
If I had taught them how
to sneak weapons into school,
they woulda gotten away with it.

Man, I'm glad I live in Canada. Holy shit.


Well I did grow up in Surrey a municipality close to Vancouver where there is a shit load of crime.
In Richmond (another place close to Vancouver) my social worker who worked at a Richmond school told me that a boy in 5th grader taped a bunch of tacs to his
hand and smacked 4th grader in the back and made him bleed.   :-\
