Local student arrested for ‘manufacturing weapons.’ In reality, he printed some PLA shivs that would probably shatter if they hit a piece of parmesan cheese. The police seized the printer like it was a meth lab. 10/10 for the dramatic crime scene photo, though.
(Backstory: a few weeks ago a student in another city/school was stabbed with a (iron) knife and died so now politicians need to show that zero tolerance policies are successful.)
Another murderbot off the streets. Italy is safe.
For now.
They need to ban printer sales
This is fucking dumb. I made a better knife than that on the bench grinder in my high school shop class. The teacher watched me do it (and immediately took it away).
Of course. One can make a better knife, or just take one out of a kitchen drawer.
