SHOULD THIS HERO BE SUSPENDED?

I still can't seem to shake the idea of kids bringing guns to school and shooting fellow students. I mean, even today, kids are getting suspended for even pretending they have a gun in their hand, and rightly so. The other day, I read a story about a kid who prevented yet another school shooting from happening, but instead of being heralded a hero, he was suspended. Does that even make any sense?

It turns out; a 16-year-old Florida high school student, from Cypress Lake High School in Fort Myers, wrestled a loaded gun away from a football player threatening to shoot a teammate was punished for his part in disarming the football player on the school bus ride home. The student was suspended from school for three days. Now, why would you suspend a student, or a hero rather, who just probably saved the lives of many students on a school bus? Witnesses on the bus said the suspect was aiming a .22 caliber revolver "point blank" at a student and saying he was going to shoot. So, instead of rewarding the heroic teen who put his own life at risk, school authorities suspended him, they say, "For his role in an incident where a weapon was present." WHAT? His role during the incident was "hero"! One kid was going to shoot another kid until this heroic student jumped in. He saved a life! They should be throwing a party for this kid!

 The boy, who has not been publicly identified, said that there was 'no doubt' that he saved the target's life with his actions and that the suspension was dumb because he can't believe he's being suspended for doing the right thing. The boy's mother added that if her son hadn't acted vigilantly, there would've been a lot of fatalities including her son. The suspect has been charged with possession of a firearm on school property and assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill. A school district spokesperson refused to comment on the incident, obviously, but he did say, "Florida law allows the principal to suspend a student immediately pending a hearing." Um, okay! How is this particular student supposed to get those three days of education back? This is so unfair and this principal is a moron! Back in the day, if you saved lives like this, you were a hero and the whole town would be praising you. Today, if you save lives, you get suspended from school? What the hell is happening to our society? I can see if the kid wrestled the gun away and then picked it up and pointed it at other students, maybe you suspend him, but if that didn't happen, then there is no reason to suspend the hero in this story. What do you guys think?
