The West Virginia eighth-grader who was suspended and arrested in late April after he refused to remove a t-shirt supporting the National Rifle Association appeared in court this week and was formally charged with obstructing an officer. As CBS affiliate WTRF reports, 14-year-old Jared Marcum now faces a $500 fine and a maximum of one year in prison. The boy�s father, Allen Lardieri, is not pleased. �Me, I�m more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we�re going to get through this,� Lardieri told WTRF. �I don�t think it should have ever gotten this far.� �Every aspect of this is just totally wrong,� Lardieri added. �He has no background of anything criminal up until now and it just seems like nobody wants to admit they�re wrong.� Officials at Logan Middle School in Logan County, West Va. maintain that Marcum, who has since completed eighth grade, was suspended for one day because he caused a disruption after a teacher asked him to remove a shirt emblazoned with a hunting rifle and the statement �protect your right.� �She said, �Are you supposed to wear that in school?�� Marcum had previously explained in an interview with local station, WOWK-TV. �I said, �I don�t see why I shouldn�t.�� In a move The Daily Caller can only characterize as courageous, Marcum returned to school after his suspension wearing exactly the same shirt. Students across the rural county showed their support for Marcum by wearing similar shirts on that day as well. (RELATED: Eighth-grader arrested over NRA shirt returns to school in same shirt) There are no accounts of any additional arrests or suspensions when Marcum returned to school. Lardieri has claimed that police in Logan City (pop. 1,779) threatened to charge Marcum with making terroristic threats during the incident that led to his arrest. In legal documents obtained by the CBS station, the arresting officer, James Adkins, reportedly fails to inform the court about any terrorist threats or any violent action. Instead, Adkins asserts that the 14-year-old boy did not follow his orders to stop talking. This verbosity somehow prevented Adkins from performing his police duties. �In my view of the facts, Jared didn�t do anything wrong,� Ben White, Marcum�s attorney, opined, according to WTRF. �I think Officer Adkins could have done something differently.� White has previously asserted that his client was exercising his free speech rights by wearing the shirt. The school district�s policy doesn�t prohibit shirts promoting Second Amendment rights. Logan police and the prosecuting attorney, Michael White, declined to answer questions.

This is going to be a fun trial. I hope the NRA has the graciousness to throw in a little money toward the kid's legal costs.

Nah, cops won't enforce ridiculous gun laws.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

I hope the school and officer pay through the nose for this and the kid gets enough to pay for at least his college tuition.
Too many people wanting to force their view of the world on everyone else.

When they win, they need to sue the school and the dickhead cop into [bleep] oblivion! This stuff makes my blood boil.

Seems that they are confusing the "right to remain silent" with "You must remain silent". miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

It's been tried in courts that students do not surrender their right to free speech on a public school campus. That does not apply to us school employees but, it does to students. I've seen students wearing Che Guevara tee shirts in school with no repercussions. However I've seen students asked to remove certain sports team shirts because of gang affiliations. I reported one kid for wearing a "F*ck Y**" tee shirt and his parents had to bring him a different shirt. I believe the kid in this situation will get off. /OT - I always wanted to wear one of these to work to p*ss off the liberal teachers...

Which is odd as nobody here would even look twice at the visage of Mr Reagan...it would not even raise a mention.
But a kid out of uniform at one of the local schools would very likely get their arse kicked (figuratively) by the school staff and the parents.

They are playing hardball just so they can drop charges in return no lawsuit.
The guberment seduced the pooch on this one and are looking for a way out. Pretty pathetic.
I am 100% against waterboarding. Splatter their brains out the back of their heads.

Jared Marcum Picked a good fight, My hat is off to the boy!
James Adkins and Michael White should be asamed of themselves and will hopefully suffer the Consequences of violating the boys rights....We shall see.
West Virginians in that area need to get their schit together and get this kinda crap stopped.
