A 7th-grade student in Virginia Beach, Va., suspended from school for shooting an airsoft gun in his front yard will find out on Monday if he is expelled for the rest of the year, a local television station reported.

Khalid Caraballo, 13, and some friends were playing with airsoft guns on his front lawn as they waited for the bus one morning, WAVY first reported. Airsoft guns are non-lethal replica firearms that fire plastic pellets by way of spring-driven pistons.

A concerned neighbor called 911 to report the incident.

"He is pointing the gun, and it looks like there's a target in a tree in his front yard," she told the dispatcher. "This is not a real one, but it makes people uncomfortable. I know that it makes me [uncomfortable], as a mom, to see a boy pointing a gun."
Ironically, the caller's son was playing with Khalid and Aidan in the Caraballo front yard.

Whatever happened to mothers instructing their sons to return either carrying their shield or on it? There are some things young men should know how to do if called upon.

Scared of what they know are not real. "Mom" can probably recite the entire collection of "Lord of the Rings" by memory though.

Lord of the Rings is all about honor, dedication and service to the tribe. These morons consider "Honey Boo Boo" to be a good role model.

Just sad.

Trashy race-to-the-bottom entertainment is a sad marker of our time.

I was told very earnestly that "Honey Boo Boo" was about a family who saves all their daughters earnings for her college tuition, and that they're down to earth people living a clean lifestyle. I suppose the next thing you'll tell me is that "Leave it to Beaver" wasn't real either.
