Time To Ramp Up Production
Hillerich & Bradsby, the company behind the Louisville Slugger brand of baseball bats, turns out about 1 million bats per year. If they turned production over tomorrow and made nothing but ClueBats, they’d never be able to make enough. Case in point ... here we go again ...
No, not guns that shoot fingers. He stuck out his thumb and index finger and went “pow pow pow”. Like every little boy on earth does. And got thrown out of school for it.
A seven-year-old child was suspended from his elementary school after making a seemingly harmless gesture many see everyday. Meet the little boy and see exactly what he did.
Patrick Riley was simply trying to distract himself during an assembly at his school. The first grade student formed a gun with his hand and pretended to shoot the wall with a fellow student. That’s when he was asked to go home.‘Him and a little girl were just getting bored at an assembly and doing some target practice at the wall,’ Lydia Fox, Patrick’s mother, explained.
The school disagreed with Fox’s interpretation and issued a statement regarding Patrick’s misbehavior.
‘A student has repeatedly used his hands to simulate a gun and act as if is shooting fellow students,’ Parkview Elementary clarified.
Fox says the principal told her the boy would be placed in in-school suspension for the rest of that day and threatened a longer suspension if it happened again.
Midwest City-Del City Schools spokeswoman Stacey Boyer confirmed the incident and says the district’s policy is to “address the disruption of the learning environment.” Boyer says Fox’s son “has repeatedly used his hands to simulate a gun.”
Fox said her son, Patrick Riley, who is in first grade at Parkview Elementary, was asked to go home after he formed a gun with his hand and started to pretend he was shooting at a wall.
School leaders said Riley was misbehaving during the assembly. Fox said she was outraged at the reason why her son was suspended.
“One of the things I’ve always been able to brag about Oklahoma is that common sense still rules here. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can say that anymore,” Fox said.
...
Parkview Elementary said Riley was not suspended anymore.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
