So he was arrested for wearing a shirt which wasnt against the rules and now the police and town cannot be held accountable for their stupidity... I think that about covers it.

And he apologized to the officer who arrested him for standing-up for his 1st and 2nd amendment rights (part of the settlement, no doubt). The officer said he kept interrupting him and was obstructing him...I don't know if that charge would have stuck in the court case. It may have, but the fallout would have been horrendous with nationwide involvement.

...yeup, that just about covers it Chief1297; You Hit Nail On Head!

I would like to have seen a follow-up photo of all those students wearing NRA T-shirts in school on mainstream media.

That is nice but what about the school and teacher who started the entire mess. They also need to be held accountable.

Prisoner training....

They are training the kids to be afraid of the 2nd in every way shape and form, And if it is not countered, They will be voting for gun control.

I don't really consider this a positive ending. I would have rather seen him file a suit against all parties involved. The only way people like that actually learn a lesson is when you take a hefty chuck out of their pocket book.

Sue, Sue, Sue no apology to anyone take it to court.

A suit is justified. Bad decisions made by politicians, bureaucrats, public employees and VOTERS need to carry penalties so that they are not repeated. If it hurts the voters financially perhaps they'll make better choices next time.

A crimminal complaint under USC title 18, 241 & 242 should be filed. When these jerks start faceing crimminal charges they will stop violating individual rights/liberties.

Personally I would have liked it better if the student and his parents had sued. The fact that it was dismissed with prejudice means it can't be refiled and the case is dead. I expect at the time they were so pleased with that, they just wanted it behind them. I can't say I blame them, the stress level for the kid and parents must have been astronomical. We deal with this stuff everyday. The average family of law abiding citizens are never exposed to something like this, unless called for jury duty. Even then their butts are not on the line. They made the right decision for their own welfare.

I do not believe that to be true. Crimminal charge were dismissed with prejudice. That prevents the "Gov't." from refiling the charge. The defendant can file crimminal charge and civil suit as he has been injured under color of law.

Possibly, but according to the story the family has agreed not to.

I guess the only penalty the school teacher gets is that he has to keep his big YAP SHUT while the kids wear similar attire the rest of his life. May it only come to pass.

If it was dismissed unconditionally that would be true, but the agreement was that they would drop the charges if the family agreed not to sue. Once you sign on the dotted line, it's over.
