mehavey, in all fairness, I did note that I suspected the problem was the system, vs your training.
After your last post, that suspicion has been reinforced.
But broken systems still don't justify treating every kid as a potential criminal. The problem is that fixing the system is harder than imposing on kids, and that the system has better lawyers than do the kids.
Cheers.
And aarond, I love the sign. I can easily picture my grandfather wrapping that BB gun around the curmudgeon's head, too, in 1954. Actually, either grandfather. But the big Swedish steel-mill-foreman grandfather would have just stormed up and done it on the spot, while the small Sicilian grandfather would have picked time and place with some care.
Either way, a Daisy would have rung a bell.
