Change Of Veiws

Students let free after 3 hours of wait

Recently in our local community there was a incident with a boy in grade 10 bringing a fake gun to school. Now this school has had history in the past for many different stores that all revolve around crime. It was nothing new for police to have to come to that school. The only problem was ,was how many that actually came. They went all out and got the swat team ,negotiators ,and K9 unit and a good 15-20 police cars all lined up along the school . All the boy had on him was a pellet gun. But then again a weapon is a weapon and it was very wrong that he brought it with him. What i don't understand is why such a huge thing was started over this. On the news it said he was holding a student hostage and that there was a stabbing and all that. Nothing even close to that happened. The boy had his gun in the gym bag the whole time and had been spotted.  While i was watching it live the police finally revealed what had happened and that it was a pellet gun he was holding and that none of those events had even occurred. I don't understand why it took so long for the police to reply to the media to let us know whats going on. People had gotten worried for no reason. Many parents were probably shaken by the whole story that the news had given us which was a lie. Weird enough i was on my black berry going on twitter when i heard the incident. I even read something a friend of mine said which was about how he is in the portable that the police are surrounding and nothing is going on inside. Why did it take so long for the police to go in and get him. They had the school in lock down for 3 hours and were doing nothing. It just makes the Durham regional police squad look like a joke. The story of someone being murdered was never solved and justice was never served. But a student brings a pellet gun to school and doesn't even bring it out ,and the whole police academy comes to be the hero. What  A Joke!
