I mean. It is a knife in school lol. What he expect. How would someone know it’s a religious thing?

Who the fuck cares what it’s for it’s a knife on a school campus kids a jackass for thinking it would fly then acting like he’s not in the wrong smh

in colleges and schools people should not carry religious things and later start justifying. You should to go the schools as others are going , it’s simply flaunting and nothing else .... after schools he can carry it if he wants to, this put bad impact on others students too

No knives (whatsoever the purpose) in schools and educational institutions. PERIOD ?

He's stupid with all the murders in schools why are you openly wearing a knife. Leave it home

In this country it's a weapon and that school is a private business and does not allow weapons.

Weapons aren’t allowed on school campus. Pretty sure you signed your name somewhere saying you understood

Just an show off.... Bringing kitchen weapon to school... Ooo look I'm being persecuted

Regardless of Sikh , hindu or muslim (religion)and their beliefs no body should bring any kind of weapons into the school / colleges ... ?... Bz it's not guaranteed that it would be not misused by the person who brings/ by the person who knows there is a weapon and take advantage of it ,thankyou .My self hindu . I have many beliefs but I don't carry anything inside school premises.

A foot long knife isnt for school ...... Nice try though

You’re not allowed to bring a knife to school, even in India. This guy thinks he’s special

“It’s not a knife it’s a Kirpan” …… that’s not a gun it’s a back scratcher……Don’t bring that shit to school and play victim

You don't need that knife these days .... also even if you wear one on religious grounds you can try to keep it discreet or concealed ....he's brandishing it like it's a sarkari school in a small Punjab pind ... also let me add.... he's politely complying because he knows it's an American police officer arresting him and those guys shoot first ask questions later....had it been India he and his other whackjob buddies would have attacked the police with edged weapons .... one officer had his hand decapitated by one of the nihangs in India thankfully doctors of PGIMER Chandigarh were able to attach it succesfully through surgery .

I understand everyone has their own religion and what not but how in the hell would you think it's okay to bring a knife to school

Why would anyone bring something like that to a public place or school. Your religion and culture is yours personal, but the security rules are for everyone.

I live in india and i havent seen any of my sikh friends in schools, colleges and even in my work place carrying a kirpan or knife, i have seen only nihangs or sikh priest carrying them. I think when you move to a foreign land you tend to show your identity aggressively to be different, even muslims in western countries are more radical than here.

good. am glad.\nsuch stupidity must stop.\nboth Americans and this turban guy needs to stop carrying weapons.\nreligion is no excuse..\nIf religion was acceptable reason then someone will start a religion where its OK to carry machine guns and gun down school kids.

If want to follow culture go to religious college or school. I will start my own religion where we can take bazooka ?

Honestly it looks like a knife and with all the killing happening in schools anything looking that suspicious shouldn't be brought on to a school compound!

Uhmmm it's still a knife in a school

Now this is what you let people do will come back to you and slap on your face! No one speaks when hijab was banned from schools, didn't allow them to practice their religion and if that was okay you have no right to fuss on this too just relax ?

In India hardly seen any sikh carrying knife in school and colleges.

There's forsure a middle ground that can be reached if the school just worked with him, he could just weld the knife to the scabbard so it can't be used as a weapon and then prove its not dangerous to the school or something. There's alot of ways this could be dealt with hopefully he finds compromise.

Shouldn’t have brought a knife into a school, Moron

School me le jane ki kya jaroorat hai ??why to take something like this to school…mujhe samjh nahi aata .. koi vaheguru ji ne gussa to hona nahi is baat ke liye ..

Great move by police. Why you roam around a school with knife ??

No religious rules applied on school or university..

They didn’t apologize they said you cannot have knives on campus and that they would like to have a dialog about safety on campus and education on those beliefs. You will still be unable to wear a knife around your neck on a school campus

@param road rage me bohot bar sikh talwar nikal dete ho. Bhai road rage koi kisiko murder nai karta. Agar hatapayi bhi hota he, to mere dadhi ko hath lagaya, usko religious angel deke talwar nikal dete ho. Hamara adhikar ka kya? Mandiron pe talwar leke hamla karte ho. Agar kuch kand hota he, sikh community uski ninda karti he aur bo real sikh nai tha, ye sab batate ho. Road me tere sath ladai hojaye to, dusra banda ka to dar rahegana ki tere pass weapon he. Tum log bas baki logon se apne aapko superior maan na chate ho, aur log jab intimidate hote he tum logon se, obviously tum logon ko bohot accha lagta hoga. Purane kamane me sab weapon rakhte the apne protection ke liye. Chae wo hindu ho ya muslim. Abhi protection ke liye police aur army he. Protection karna he to police aur army me jao, school, college me wepaon leke mat aao.

Why does he need to wear at University?\nI respect my culture but college ,school , University is not a place to showcase your religion.

United States, a country where a lunatic can carry AR 15, Granade Launcher to school by stating it is his/her Bullshit 2nd Amendment right but when he/she sees a religious man with a symbol of his religion which is knife that too a small one pisses of in his/her pants is beyond ridiculous. \nUnited States of America should fall and be disintegrated forever

I don't want to say any word on this stupidity ? one question ,, school and college are for education there is one specific dress code for all children, and everyone should follow the rules of schl and clg,so why we involve our religion as a hindu I oppose this?pls stop this nonsense, if this is right so why we are against the hijab in indian school and clg ?? If all religions start following their culture and rituals in colleges then from tomorrow a hindu will start wearing dhoti kurta,sari, rudarkhs, mushlim will wear hijab, kurta lungi ??so pls stop this nonsense ???

I know I might seem like an asshole but,\nWith so many school shooting going on, i think this type of reaction with somebody carrying a weapon is normal and should be encouraged. There is a rule prohibiting sharp objects and still this young man brought his kirpan, I think formal permission should have been taken by him. Completely valid response and hope the institution and religion have some sort of agreement and sort this out in a mutually beneficial way.

Sad for Sikh and sad for karnataka school going hijabi girls. Bcoz I'm not a hypocrite

Your religion does not trump the law or school policies.

okk... so no one in the comments actually knows what that knife is for sikhs.... their history is darker and braver than most of the heroes in the world... \nBut he should have taken a smaller one if he is living in a country that doesn't know anything about his faith.... \nmeanwhile guns are allowed in school though

What the heck you guys are doing in USA and Canada come to India. And enjoy your life man. \nLastly I wouldn't support carrying kripan like this to school.

Good don’t need another school stabbing ?

But why to carry such things in school and colleges

He carried a knife to a school.. what did he think was going to happen !!! This has nothing to do with religion or race .. just common sense. Nothing wrong in arresting him.

Until you are white \nYou are threat of peace \nBt if you are white and walk in highschool with guns you are still not threat ? even you're interested shoot whole school kids ?

I don't see an issue here as long as I can carry an ar15 as part of my religion ? but seriously at least he was calm and respectful... Sihks are the warriors yet every one I've ever met were the nicest most centered people you can imagine! I hope this is settled peacefully and responsibly, aka I hope the school doesn't kick him out or over exaggerate the punishment

There should be no apology you brought a weapon to school this is plain and simple

Yes it should not be allowed in public places or school.\nThe way Burqa or any religious symbol is not allowed

Religion or not the guy brought a knife to a school. What did you think was going to happen? I get wanting to display something on you of your religion but you could have thought of something better then a decorative knife.

Nation and national rules are above religion ....tumhare baap ka ghr nhi school hai vo bhi America ka

America: Keep 4 inch religious symbol daggers out of education institutions. \n\nAlso America: It’s business as usual to have 100s/1000s of young children killed in schools with military grade assault weapons.

You can walk with a gun in America, shooting school kids but cant carry a kirpan. ?
