Kept all the kids bags to be searched. What have we come t.

https://www.milforddailynews.c...-bullet-casing-found

Hopefully Barney will get prints from the casing and Sheriff Andy will contact the state folks in Mount Pilot. Then we will found out that the case was from Aunt Bea's 22 revolver. Opie will be disciplined for bringing it to school.

I've often wondered the insanity if, in a loud club, someone were to drop a couple spent 9mm cases.

Or, after deer hunting, save an intact heart (freeze it), then when cleaning out the blood in the bed of your truck at a local "wand wash" place, deposit the deer heart in the corner. Hilarity may ensue.

Make sure there's no cameras.

I have a jar in my laundry room specifically for my wife to put the brass that ends up in the washer every week when I miss those two or three casings in a shirt pocket or sleeve cuff.
Can't imagine what a fragile little sally someone would need to be to have to shut down a whole building for something so idiotic.

Man, they really dodged a bullet spent casing there.

Well all the kids know how to get out of school early now if they don't feel like sitting in class.

Looks like a new way to get a day off from school. Want 3 days off, sprinkle a few 10mm casings around..OMG..10mm..

I smell a prank, or intelligence gathering.

And Agent Gibbs to find and dig the bullet out of the wall with a knife.

So, all some student has to do to create mayhem and panic is drop an empty .22LR case in the stairwell in any school in the US.

Jeez, man. Snap the fuck out of it.

I was thinking the same thing.

What country is Milford in?

The stupid is so strong in public schools...

Can we get a grip?

It's a spent shell casing. They are annoying to find in the washer -- but certainly not dangerous!

These are the people "educating" our children

It's in the far wacko country of the Boston metro area, which does explain a lot in this story.

There was routinely a veritable ARSENAL of rifles and shotguns in the parking lot of my California high school on any given day. Lots of hunters/shooters, both students and staff.

Yep, I said "California."

I have a vivid memory of three or four kids gathered around the trunk of a car, senior year, admiring somebody's new HK-91. Along with the students, two teachers (lay faculty and a Christian Brother.) Nobody batted an eye.

This was only around 30 years ago, and we're not talking deep-woods rural. Mix of suburban and farm kids at a Catholic high school.

Don't get me stared on pocket knives, lighters, and other weapons of mass destruction.

Fights involving weapons were basically unheard of, even at the rather rough public school a few blocks away.

Somewhere between the 1980s and today, the educational system lost its collective mind.

I had a similar experience, but it involved the Secret Service, luckily they were cooler.

I was in the Secret Service security line for the Army Navy Game last year (Trump was attending).

It was freezing cold and I was layered up, but still cold. I quickly grabbed another coat I had in the back of the truck to throw on before going into the stadium.

When it was my turn, the secret service guy checked my pockets, and to my Huuuuuuuuuge surprise, he pulled out several spent shot gun and rifle casings. My reaction was absolute terror and shock. This was the jacket I wore hunting the previous weekend and I put the shells from our shooting session in it.

I was wholly expecting to be detained, and interrogated or water boarded, or at the very least, not let into the game. The SS guys just took me to the side and asked me a few questions while my wife rolled her eyes at me from inside the stadium.

I guess my shocked demeanor matched my answers and they let me in. I’m probably on some kind of watch list now.

This all started with a student who first found the shell casing and immediately reported it so obviously the system has been successful in conditioning/ indoctrinating student's responses to such mundane discoveries. I wonder what a school day will look like when plastic straws are banned from school grounds and one is found on the grounds? School lock downs followed by students being sent home so that a proper investigation can be conducted?

I couldn't count the number of times I've tracked empty brass casings home from the range in the cleats of my boots, only to find them later...not to mention the stray shells that landed in shirt pockets or shirt collars.

How do students get any learning done when distracted by such evil things? When students are released from school for something like this what happens to the day of learning? Do they have to make up that day?

I'm not sure if this was meant as an ironic funny response, but on the chance that it is an honest question, Milford appears to be Massachusetts.. Looks like BamaJeepster has this covered.

Hysterical irrational fear.

Are you kidding???? Someone could have slipped on the casing, there could have been other fall hazards in other areas.

If it saves just one twisted ankle...

I do think that the anti-gun crowd likes to overblow these things because it serves their agenda. It allows them to further instill fear in the ignorant and impressionable. Also, they can demonstrate how the mere presence of guns in society is disruptive.
