I’ll admit it here and now. I, too, threw a pencil or two when I was a kid. Got away with it, too. And look at what kind of person I turned out to be because they didn’t do the right thing and lock me away. After all, as they say, the pen(cil) is mightier than the sword!

13-year-old arrested on a battery charge after he threw a pencil in class

Police arrested a 13-year-old boy on a battery charge after he threw a broken pencil in class that hit another boy in the back of the head, according to a report released Thursday.

The 12-year-old victim, a seventh grade student, on Tuesday came in Oak Hammock Middle School’s school resource officer office and said the suspect threw a piece of a broken pencil that hit him in the head.

Two witnesses in class said the suspect, also a seventh grade student, threw the pencil piece.

The suspect said he was throwing pencils, crayons and marker caps at one of the witnesses and another student because “they were calling him names.”

When he threw the pencil at one of the witnesses, the witness ducked and the pencil hit the victim.

    … does anyone know anyone who has ever lost an eye in school, as a result of someone throwing something? Surely someone, somewhere, out there must have actually lost an eye…. I mean, they wouldn’t lie about something like that would they?

    Yes, character actor Jack Elam.

    From wikipedia:
    … as a Boy Scout, he lost the sight in his left eye after another Scout threw a pencil at him at a troop meeting.

    Oh, _Florida_!?

    There has GOT to be something in the water there! How else to explain the widespread insanity? I mean Carl Hiassen and Dave Barry (and who knows how many others) have made decent livings writing about the crazy goings-on there. Can any other state (other than California) say the same?

    What I don’t understand is WHY the hell the police are actually responding to these types of calls!!!….I will go you one further….the teacher or principle who made the call should be arrested for making/filing a false police call/report, whatever the hell it’s called.
