Wow. Why is this thread still alive?!

I'm pretty anti-gov/ police/ military, but seriously OP what should they have done? Nothing? And then when your kid brother comes home missing an eye and his pecker, you'd say they didn't do enough.

this whole thread is stupid, quit fucking bitching. There was a reason for it, it wasn't spur of the moment.

Does your screen name refer to the way you put thoughts together?

No one is talking about changing the Constitution.

Infringing is just as bad as changing it. If the kids said "No, I don't want to be searched" do you think that constitutionally backed right would have been upheld? I think not... You say you're having a discussion and not just trolling/stirring up shit but your one line responses prove otherwise. If you want to make a point, do it.

I am more anti-government/police/armed forces than anybody I know but realistically, I don't see a problem with this situation.

If there actually was a bomb, you'd all be complaining they didn't do enough.

No on both occasions.

Sleeve, I get it now.


Troll away

You confuse trolling with actual discussion. Sleeve confuses platitudes with discussion.

Sorry you don't know how to explain your point.

What's the very basis of this entire thread? Security vs personal rights. Answer me this, what is the constition?

Actually, the thread was supposed to be about the kid thinking the cops coming in heavy was cool.

Anyway, constitutional rights were not violated. What am I'm missing?

Your argument proves that it already has.

Where does it do that? We're talking about securing a school after a bomb threat - no one brought up anything regarding the 4th Amendment.

Of course it was a fear in 1776, why do you think this country was founded? The Constitution was written to keep that sort of thing from happening again...so far it has worked, but when you have certain "progressive" movements that are constantly trying to chip away at that sacred document to further their own agendas under the guise of "for the greater good", it's hard to intelligently argue mrsleeve's point. A typical less than 30 character response is nothing more than offensive.

That's a fearful point of view that has been at play since the 18th century.
