8TH GRADER SUSPENDED, ARRESTED OVER NRA T-SHIRT NOW FACES $500 FINE AND A YEAR IN JAIL

The West Virginia eight-grader arrested and suspended over his National Rifle Association T-shirt with an image of a firearm is now facing a $500 fine and a year in jail.

A judge is allowing prosecutors to move forward with charging Jared Marcum, 14, with obstructing an officer, WOWK-TV reported.

Marcum got into an argument with a teacher over his “Protect Your Rights” NRA shirt at Logan Middle School in April. He was arrested for disturbing the education process and for obstructing an officer — the latter, according to court documents obtained by WOWK, because Marcum refused to stop talking, thus hindering the arresting officer from doing his job.

I'm 67 years young and I will wear my NRA t-shirt anywhere I damn please. And 11:59 Muslims probably own more guns than we do. And now Obama is giving them more.

The people that are pursuing action against this kid should be targeted by the community. It's exactly what THEY do. Hound them out of town.

Funny as heck when there is a shortage of jail space and they're threatening to incarcerate an 8th grader.The best way to resolve this issue is to let them go ahead with it full steam.They'll be like the kid who threatens to run away and keeps looking back,hoping someone will try to stop him.Leno and Letterman should have a field day with this one,but they probably aren't smart enough to pick up on the oversight.
