Va. man arrested for bringing board into Sandy Hook school
STRASBURG, Va. (WTVR) A man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Strasburg, Virginia, carrying a 2 x 4 with the words High Powered Rifle written on it, according to Shenandoah County Sheriffs Office Major Scott Proctor.
Christopher Johnson, 33, was arrested after he was detained by a school resource officer. Proctor said Johnson is being held in jail and was charged with disorderly conduct.
The incident happened at 11:40 this morning. Major Proctor said Johnson was approached by a school employee immediately after he entered the school. He said the school resource officer arrived seconds later.
Proctor said he was not sure why Johnson entered the school, however he said it appeared Johnson wanted to make a point about school security.

It would have been better if it he'd written "High Powered Rifle" on a giant, rubber penis. n/t

Because the death of 20 innocent young ones didn't prove that point already.

And has a security hole.
If he had an infantry weapon instead of cardboard this be national breaking news.
I hope the school revises this.

... with a high powered rifle. I do not condone his method, but the point is made.

That seems a little bit different than just walking through the door.
