When I was a kid, we called this “playing.”

The “intent” was there? The undeveloped brains of small children “intend” intensely, including ways to trap Santa Claus. Want to arrest them for attempted kidnapping?

If they had used baking soda instead of cinnamon, this could have been a tragedy.

We subject tiny minds to active shooter drills and then we wonder how they get these ideas…
But, freedom or something.

Give a man a police badge and he’ll see crime everywhere.

Fifth graders, you say?
Excellent!
There were also reports of one group of girls planning to create a terroristic device using sugar and spice and everything nice. Law enforcement decided to focus its resources on the greater threat of snips and snails and puppy-dogs’ tails.

I use that combo for my drain cleaning.

Yes, it’s the ammonia and bleach combo that you want to steer clear of!

Jeez, was the NRA asleep at the switch here? These kids should have been armed to the teeth with real Second Amendment Freedom Weapons to be effective. We can’t let this happen again.

Yes, and since both of those are often used for household cleaning, I believe manufactures usually put a warning label about it on their products (it is legally required I guess?). Then again, not so many people seem to read fine prints or directions…
When you are required to put warnings on everything, none of the warnings have any impact.
And then there are the warnings on LED Christmas lights that made sense way back when we used 7 1/2 watt bulbs that actually did get hot.
It wasn’t anything like “intent,” it was just a mirror of the society surrounding those kids. What words do we expect small children to utter in their otherwise innocuous kids’ playing, when adults around them keep shouting about guns and bombs and “radical Muslim terrorists” 24/7?

A little disconcerting when they identify with the “radical Muslim terrorists”.

Sure; “kids playing”. Perhaps that’s what all child suicide-bombers think they’re doing. What a fucking world.
You link bombing to “radical Muslim terrorists”?
Like radical “Muslim” Timothy McVeigh? Like all those other radical non-Muslim “Muslim” terrorists?

Is that a Draino bomb?
Police investigators later found a “device,” but said the vinegar and cinnamon-filled item was “benign” and not an explosive.
Bad google search, there, eh, kids?

Hope the cops didn’t catch cooties from the girls.
