14-year-old at the center of "NRA T-Shirt Controversy" now facing possibility of 1 year in jail

This is a horrible injustice to our system and our citizens. I hope that the community stands up with this child's freedom of speech and chides the officers decision to unjustly charge him for disruption.

Charges dropped:

The dismissal, signed by judge Eric O'Briant comes 70 days after, then 8th grader, Jared Marcum's pro-Second Amendment shirt, sparked what many are calling the fight over his First Amendment rights.

I'm sure the district will enjoy their forthcoming lawsuit.

Ha. So, if they couldn't gag order him, they won't expose themselves to ridicule and possibly looking like a troll for the next election round.

The kid's dad ought to hang the school system and the cop out to dry. Given that he absolutely CANNOT charge the kid with obstruction for talking by a Supreme Court decision, looks like false arrest, maybe harassment under color of law. Teach the kid about civil rights suits and how you remove the qualified immunity of a cop for incompetence.

"Jared, here's you a nice bass boat that used to belong to the officer. I'm having 'Courtesy of James Adkins, incompetent LEO' painted on the back for you"
