It's hard to imagine anything being made by 'Totes' as a weapon. Next come the ninja slipper-socks and tactical compact umbrella.
 
I made my first knife trade in 2nd grade recess.Let's see in 1962.I guess things have changed a bit.Sad.
 
"capable of damage and possibly death."
And at that I would pull out a pair of scissors and say but this is much better at causing damage.

then a book,

then an eraser,
then the totes flashlight.

It is really pathetic, if he was really wanting a weapon, do you think he would be carrying that. He is probably smart enough to know that a screwdriver would be better than that thing.
 
You never know, if given a few minutes, he could of sawed thru some skin.

I'm more worried about a kid getting smacked with a bike-chainlock or a skateboard. We should ban them!
 
I live a stones-throw from Grayslake and wasn't aware of this event (until now). Never was impressed by that community and now even less so after seeing what they carry.
