DECEMBER 22--A 13-year-old boy was arrested Friday for using a permanent marker while in class at his Oklahoma City middle school, a violation of an obscure city ordinance.
According to an Oklahoma City Police Department report, the boy was spotted “in possession of a permanent marker†by Roosevelt Middle School teacher DeLynn Woodside. The 50-year-old educator told cop Miguel Campos that the student was “writing on a piece of paper, which caused it to bleed over onto the desk.â€
Woodside, pictured at right, reported that the child, whose name was redacted by police from the report, attempted to hide the marker when she asked him for it.
Campos reported that he allowed Woodside, a seventh grade math teacher, to “sign a citation†against the boy, who was then transported to the Community Intervention Center, a juvenile holding facility. A police sergeant subsequently “booked the marker into the property room.â€
A police spokesman referred to the student’s bust as a “citizen’s arrest†effectuated by Woodside.
The marker ban--which apparently is aimed at curbing graffiti--stems from a city ordinance making it illegal to possess spray paint or a permanent marker on private property (without the owner’s permission). (2 pages)...
Put the marker down and back away from the notebook (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/boy-13-busted-illegal-marker-possession)

The law says private property. Aren't public schools considered public for the purposes of the law?

I'd like to feel bad for him but he broke the law and should be punished appropriately. The is no different then braking any other law and iggnorance is no excuse.

You are an idiot.

I'm surpised they didn't charge him with possession of a controlled substance and sniffing it.

There's got to be more to this story. That, or the teacher is the most over-reactionary ridiculous fool in the entire school system. What's her DU name?

Nope. He broke the law. Apparently it's against the law in many places for minors to have spray paint or wide felt tipped pens. http://www.knowgangs.com/gang_resources/laws/ganglaws_019.htm

I read that, but I'm dumbfounded that the teacher felt the need to enforce it by calling the police. These brainless zero-tolerance laws are being enforced by equally brainless authority figures and this is the result.

Oh, horseshit. Appropriate punishment? Take the damn thing away for the rest of the day. Arrest him? More zero-tolerance lazy idiots who can't be bothered to think for themselves.
This is the result of YOUR side of the aisle and their knee-jerk reactionary bullshit.

Why are you trying to write like an ignorant ass? You have succeeded, so knock it off k?

He broke the law and his punishment should be whatever someone would get for this. I imagine it would be a fine and nothing more. Either way, he broke the law and has to suffer the consequences.
Id don't think they should have reacted this way but they did sooooo.......

So ridicule the stupid ****ers and next time use a little DISCRETION.
What's next, comp? 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread? No, wait--lob off his hand like they do in Saudi. Yeah, that's it--that's the ticket!
How about the concept of, "Let the punishment fit the crime?" Nah, can't use discretion or common sense, now can we? Kind of like why a guy up here in NH is sitting in prison for the next 3-6 YEARS for having a gun out on his property against a trespasser when some ditzy bitch who KILLED a woman while boating drunk got 3 months and a couple years of probation?
People like you remind me why I've been told by my doctor to consider blood pressure medication.
Yeah, I know Hitler said it, but I think he had you and your ilk in mind when he said, "What luck for the rulers that men do not think."

Another teenager engaged in illicit black marker activities, tsk tsk.

:yeahthat:
Zero tolerance = zero intelligence.
This mentality of overkill punishment, over the stupidest of things, has gotten way out of hand.

Lets imagine for a moment that criticism of the president and any other government official was outlawed. Would you still be so blindly obedient?

Just saw a picture of the teacher.....big, ugly liberal looking thing ...300 pounds at least.

You display your ignorance here in everything you post. What's your excuse?

It's my unbridled opinion that he's deliberately making inflammatory statements because of the attention that he garners. In short, he's a troll.
Where the hell is that smiley that says "Don't feed the troll!"?

Beautiful logic there, Javert Jr.
Now, why don't you go jump into a river, too?
