    I am a bit confused, the teenager in another thread was arrested for making a sarcastic online threat: http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.p...quot-on-FB-huh.

    Why aren't the multiple people making specific threats against Mr. Zimmerman also being arrested in the same fashion?

    Because it's different. Didn't you get the memo from the Attorney General of the United States?

This was one of the better school districts in the state and we completely eliminated it. It's not on the FCAT standardized test, therefore irrelevant.

    That being said, I can't remember the last time I even wrote in cursive.

    We gotta get someone from Canada to make a complaint then US law enforcement will take notice.

    Thanks for the info.
    I'm right there with ya, mostly write in a mishmash of printing and cursive, but also can't remember the last time I actually wrote more than a sentence or two.

    In NJ, all of the 18 year olds I know have learned cursive.

    Back on topic, it will be interesting to see how they try and nail Zimmerman, because they'll have to nail the police for releasing a murderer as well. They'll have to show that the police were biased, stupid, sloppy, and weren't able to tell if the shot fired went up or down.
