11 year old faces felony charges after pointing a "rubber band gun" at people

[CyberPitz]

OCOEE, Fla. -- An 11-year-old Ocoee boy was arrested for playing with a toy gun. Police said the arrest was necessary, because it was a safety issue.

The boy was using a rubber band gun and his father said the kid did nothing wrong, but police said they take it as a serious threat and the 11-year-old is facing felony charges.

The crime isn't very common, but Ocoee police said it is serious. It centers on an 11-year0old boy and his toy short-barreled shotgun.


"With that type of behavior, it's hard to tell if it's a real gun or not, especially in their car," said Sgt. Randy Conyers, Ocoee Police Department.

But, according to the charging affidavit, the 11-year-old's dad said nothing was wrong with what his son had done and that he used to do it as a kid. The boy even told police he was pretending to be a cop and thought the victims were laughing with him.

The gun itself only fires rubber bands and was checked into evidence. Police didn't comment on the weapon's color or release any images. Still, the victims said they were frightened and, police said, toy or no toy, the charges are justified.

Eyewitness News spoke to the father of the suspect on the phone. He said his son is out of juvenile detention and that a judge told him the case would be dropped. He also confirmed that the gun was black, but that it looked more like a stick than a gun.

Because we all know rubber bands poke out eyes! Lets take one of the "victims" children into custody for something retarded like that, and say they will face felony charges. Lets see how that works.

Ridiculous. They sell those stupid things with kids like that in mind, but dont understand why he might actually point it at someone or something. "OH NO, its a tiny band made of rubber, that could leave a red mark!!!"

This is why I'm leaning towards being a sociopath. Shit like this is utterly ridiculous and the people that called it in should be thrown in jail for a misuse of 911.

Justice is served. Burn the evidence.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Hey wait I used to do that when I was younger. Quick, someone hide me from the popo!

'Oh man we're gonna die! A little kid is playing with a gun, like I used to in the past, except mine was a toy... oh god help us! this man and his son are MURDERERS! i mean, that kid can handle a shotgun!'

****ing priceless.

Typical. A couple decades ago, the cops would've laughed.

Chickenshit pussies.

So a kid faces felony charges because he pointed a toy gun at someone?

^ Do any of those look dangerous to you?

Next thing you know the cops will have you for "looking at someone funny".

 

[Stigmata]

The first one, only because I have low-moderate red-deficiency colorblindness so the barrel looks pure black on first glance.

My grandpa made me one of those, except it doesn't have the trigger/fancy spinny thing. It had a close clipper thingy on the back of it to put the rubber band on, then stretch it to the front barrel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-fellatio

Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one's own penis as a form of masturbation. Most men do not possess sufficient penis length and/or flexibility to perform the necessary frontbend. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some. There is a risk of developing stretch marks on the lower back due to the extreme frontbend, especially if one has not trained at this and spends a lot of time in any position without rest. American biologist Alfred Kinsey reported that fewer than 1% of men can successfully suck or lick their own penises. Autofellatio used to be treated by behavioristic science as a problem rather than as a variety in sexual practice.[1]

AHAHAHAA. they make it sound all scientific.

aw man. they even have a detailed picture of a man sucking his own dick on there, in case it wasn't clear enough when they said, "suck or lick their own penis".

Cool, next time I'm mad at you I'll just say

"Go suck your own dick!"

How did we move onto auto-felattio again?

 

[Rapstah]

I want a rubber band grav gun.

EDIT: I had a rubber band MP5, now that I think of it.

/is suspicious.

 

[Muffin Man]

I had a dream about auto-fellatio last night, coincidentally. I just thought you should all know, because I found it a bit odd.

 

[-Psy-]

I did a while a go...**** knows why. 0_0

 

[Beerdude26]

Why's willie banned?

EDIT: Nevermind. Wow, that's a really shitty thing to do.

 

[Taboo]

Wow. That is stupid. I could maybe see the people who called the police thinking it was a potential danger because they thought a kid was playing with a gun and might hurt himself but for the police to file charges? That shits just crazy.

Heh, I remember I found a store in the US that manufactured these kinda guns. In the display case, they actually had a wooden AA gun that fired these massive rubber bands, it was pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. A couple of years ago my friends and I made a giant mosquito launcher out of a Bunsen burner hose that launched either mosquitoes made of several sheets of graph paper or heavy sheet metal.

Ah, the stupid things I did.
