‘Goth’ student John George suspended, Facebook post of big Santa ‘surprise’ seen as threat of violence

As horrific as it was, yes, people may be getting a wee bit carried away with some of the post-Newtown reaction.

A high school student who said that he was planning on dressing up like Santa and giving out candy to his classmates was suspended because of a Facebook post that parents considered threatening.

John George, a sophomore at Crawford County High School in Georgia, posted what he thought was a preview of good things to come.

Others saw it as a violent threat in the wake of the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
