Student Shot at School Gets Detention

2018-03-30 19:52:49.594111+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

Student shot at school gets detention for taking part in school- shooting protest:

Caffrey, now 16, was one of two students shot and two others injured during the resulting confusion Feb. 29, 2016, when James “Austin” Hancock, now 17, stole a gun from his great-grandmother, brought it to school in his backpack and ultimately used it at lunchtime. The other student shot, Cameron Smith, was hit in the back and unable to walk for weeks, according to his grandmother.

I think his dad has got exactly the correct attitude about it:

“The whole purpose of a walkout is to protest against an establishment,” Marty Caffrey wrote on Facebook. “I do not expect the establishment to support the walkout.”

Exactly! I can support this kid's walk-out but the school can't.
