Magic Hobbit Ring Leads to 9-Year-Old's Suspension

A 9-year-old Texas boy was suspended from school after pretending to have the magic Hobbit ring from "The Lord of the Rings" and its prequel, telling a schoolmate that he would make him "disappear."
Texas. 'nuff said. :troll:
Aiden Steward had recently watched “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies” with his family when he took his imagination to school in Kermit, Texas, his father, Jason Steward, told the New York Daily News.

When he heard that his son was suspended for making terroristic threats — saying he’d make someone disappear — Steward told the Daily News it was "unbelievable."
to be fair, it doesn't help that 'make disappear' is a common euphamism for 'kill'
"Kids act out movies that they see. When I watched Superman as a kid, I went outside and tried to fly," he said.

"I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend’s existence," Steward wrote in an email about his son’s claim that he could put a magic Hobbit ring on a boy’s head and make him invisible, the Daily News said.

MAGIC HOBBIT RINGS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!

not to mention that invisibility doesn't threaten existance. the mention of invisibility should've cleared that up right there-- oh right, Texas. :lol:
"If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back."
anyone could simply by removing the ring-- oh wait, the FICTIONAL ring wouldn't be on his finger, so the invisibility wouldn't have taken effect in the first place
The Odessa American said the school refused to comment on confidential matters.

The Daily News reported that Aidan had previous in-school suspensions for referring to another child in the school as “black” and also for bringing "The Big Book of Knowledge" to school, according to his father.
searching Wikipedia for "The Big Book of Knowledge" brings up the school district as the first result :D
“He loves that book. They were studying the solar system and he took it to school. He thought his teacher would be impressed,” Steward told the Daily News. But the book contained a section on pregnancy, including a picture of a pregnant woman in an illustration. That apparently got the boy in trouble.

The Internet was in an uproar over the school punishing a child’s imagination.
according to the edit history of said Wikipedia article: "Added a recent fact happened in which the school adopted a ridiculous policy regarding suspension. I think whoever is contemplating sending a child to this school should know about this." it should be pointed out that the next edit by another user did NOT revert this

If I had gone to that elementary school as a kid then my overactive imagination would've gotten me expelled in less than a week.
 
You know what guys? You can tell whatever you want - you can tell that all cops in this country are dirty, that they are all corrupt... Police brutality and shit... But I can tell you one thing - I had like 5 encounters where I had to deal with cops in the US and every single time they proved that they really serve and protect.

Fucking bite me. Or, better yet, pack your shit and go to Russia (for example) and see how cops handle shit over there. Then, at least, you'll have something to compare with.

And meanwhile in Russia, 81 yo lady, who survived Leningrad's blockade during World War II got arrested for shoplifting and died of a heart attack. I mean, what kind of a beast you should be to call the police on 81 yo woman who survived one of the worst episodes of WWII for Russia instead of helping her out?

PS. Our generation fucking sucks. It is heartless and senseless.

yeah, not all cops are bad - there's always bad apples but stuff like this happens more often than people might think, even around where I live

The problem is - people tend to see bad stuff and pay no attention to good moments.

My personal experience: as long as you're law-respectful citizen - cops are gonna tear their asses apart for you. And I live in Michigan. 20 fucking miles away from Detroit. You know what I'm saying?

Sadly these are not the cops we hear about in the news. Ever. The world will always have a small handful of awesome nice people. Drowned out by assholes.
