West Virginia teen now facing year in jail over NRA T-shirt
West Virginia teen now facing year in jail over NRA T-shirt
A West Virginia eighth-grader who was suspended from school for refusing to change his National Rifle Association T-shirt faces up to one year in jail and a $500 fine after being formally charged with obstructing an officer. Jared Marcum, 14, appeared before a judge Monday and was hit with formal charges that carry a maximum $500 fine and up to a year in jail. The Logan County Police Department initially claimed that Marcum was arrested April 18 for disturbing the education process and obstructing an officer. His father said that officers even went as far as threatening to charge Jared with making terror threats. "In my view of the facts, Jared didn't do anything wrong," Ben White, Jared's attorney told WTRF. "I think officer Adkins could have done something differently." Arresting officer James Adkins claimed that Marcum’s refusal to talk obstructed his ability to do his job, while White argued that Adkins never made reference to any violent acts or threats in his petition. A petition on Change.org calling for charges against the boy to be dropped had nearly 1,000 signatures by Monday afternoon. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/06/17...#ixzz2WZUWS2nO |

To address the "Pro Choice" question; the shirt I wouldn't care for but as long as it didn't have a gruesome picture of an aborted baby, I'd figure it was my tough shit. If it had an aborted baby on it, I would consider it intentionally inflammatory and then I would want the kid to remove it; disruptive. From what I've seen of the shirt this kid was wearing, there was nothing threatening or inflammatory about it...the gun wasn't pointed at the viewer, didn't say "kill liberals" or anything...just showed the picture of a hunting rifle. Now, if what you said is true, and this kid showed up again wearing the same shirt, the he's definitely trying to be inflammatory and deserves suspension or even expulsion because he's intentionally being a disruptive force in the school. Sound fair?

Does seeing a hunting rifle really evoke the same emotion in you as seeing an aborted "fetus"? You've been able to compartmentalize this issue in your mind to that extent? Your question shows the ocean of difference between our viewpoints; I'm sure I couldn't explain it to you if I typed all night. If it makes you feel any better, a lot more children are being rubbed out by "Pro Choice" than Bushmasters will ever be able to so you've got that stat on your side. You can go to bed tonight with warm fuzzies. |

I could see putting this kid away if he had been wearing a One Direction T-shirt because that would be truly offensive, but who gives a shit about an NRA T-shirt? Were they afraid he was going to rip off his shirt and use it as a weapon? Complete bullshit.

So the obstruction charge comes from talking while the officer was trying to do his job.
because "According the WOWK TV, nowhere in the police report is it said that Marcum made threats or acted in a violent manner." So I am left with...this is a bunch of nonsense perpetuated by the sister ****ers of West Virginia. |
