Chandler district spokesman Terry Locke said the crude sketch was "absolutely considered a threat," and that threatening words or pictures are punishable.

This is total B.S. from a complete and total moron at the school.

To me, it looks like the kid has merely seen the Sylvester Stallone movie, Judge Dredd. It's a very cool and very funny movie. The drawing looks a lot like the LawGiver2 guns they use in the movie. They are very awesome, but very fictional, weapons.

When I was a kid, I drew movie scenes all the time in school. I drew fighter jet combat scenes from Iron Eagle on the backs of my worksheets, but I never stole an F-16 and went shooting. Those school officials need to get their facts straight!

Imagine that the boy's father was serving in Iraq with a firearm. If the boy brought a picture or drawing of his Dad to school, would he be suspended?
