Cry-Baby of the Week

This week: A school that suspended a boy for wearing a purse versus a guy who shot at a woman for cutting in the drive-through line.

It's time, once again, to marvel at some idiots who don't know how to handle the world:

Cry-baby #1: Anderson County Senior-Junior School

KCTV via Raw Story

The incident: A boy wore a purse to school.

The appropriate response: Nothing.

The actual response: The school suspended him.

Last Wednesday, 13-year-old Skylar Davis wore a multicolored Vera Bradley purse to his school in Garnett, Kansas.

After a complaint from a teacher, he was called to the office of the assistant principal, who told him he was not allowed to wear it.

Skylar refused to take the purse off as, he said, girls at his school are all allowed to wear them. “I don’t think everyone should be treated differently,” he said. “Everyone should have the same privileges.”

Since he refused to take it off, he was suspended. His mother, Leslie, was called and told she would have to come pick him up. "I was a little furious and I called the school to reverify the story," she told KCTV, "and yeah, he refused to take off his Vera Bradley bag, nothing more to it."

Also speaking to KCTV, Skylar said that he'd been wearing the purse daily since August and it had never had any issues with it.

Leslie said that she checked the school's official handbook, and there were no rules about purses listed.

The initial suspension was only for a day, but Skylar has said he won't return to school until the issue is resolved, “It expresses myself, and I think everyone else can wear it, so I wear it as well,” he said.

Cry-baby #2 An unidentified Chick-fil-A customer

Via Reddit

The incident: A woman cut the line at a drive-through.

The appropriate response: Giving her the finger. Maybe yelling.

The actual response: A guy tried to shoot her.

On Monday morning, a brown Buick Regal stalled in the drive-through line at a Chick-fil-A in Jacksonville, Florida.

As the car wasn't moving, the woman in the car behind drove around and started placing her order.

That's when, police say, the guy in the brown Buick got out of his car and started yelling at the the woman who'd overtaken him.

He then produced a gun and fired a single shot into the car, before getting back into his own car and fleeing.

The (presumably insane) woman who was shot at drove after him, but was unable to catch him.

Police were called to the scene and found a single bullet casing on the ground. They have yet to make an arrest.

Seems incredibly unlikely, but if you happened to witness this incident and know who did it, you can get a $3,000 reward by snitching on the guy to 1-866-845-TIPS.

Which of these fools is the bigger cry-baby? Let us know in this poll right here:

Who is the bigger cry-baby?
