Stupid Shit in the News

Kids are wound too tight. Remember when food fights were silly goofy things that lead to students mopping floors?


BINGHAMTON -- Students arrested during brawls outside the high school Thursday have been suspended pending superintendent's hearings that could lead to their expulsion from school.

District and high school officials are still investigating the details of the students' actions during the melee that escalated from a food fight in the cafeteria to brawls and confrontations between students, police and administrators outside the high school, Principal Albert Penna said.

Four adults -- two police officers and two assistant principals -- were injured. The most seriously injured was Associate Principal Martin Klein who was hit the face with a cell phone by a female student.

Must have been an old-school cell phone.

I'm wondering if it was used like a roll of quarters in a closed fist rather than thrown?

Do you ever think that "they" are trying to engineer kids into soul-less zombies...perfect citizens in a corporate police state?

Yea, but now days they need to throw the female student in jail for a 30 days to make a point. She needs an education about our laws.

So you're saying they should freely allow group brawls between students?

Interesting sidenote: my high school's administrators once averted a 40-student standoff-soon-to-be-gang-fight in the cafeteria simply by ringing the bell early. Sure enough, the Pavlov response kicked in and everyone just dispersed to go to class.

I know, let's put the girl who threw the cell phone in stocks in the front of the school and people can just come by and randomly stone her.... For a week.

I think it would be better to put her in stocks, put her cell phone just out of reach, and people can come by and randomly text her.

Heads -- in the vagina? Tails -- toss again for another orifice, and then again for left or right?

CNN, Please do not bring that POS back. What a farce that would be.

Right...

CNN announced that DISGRACED former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D) and conservative columnist Kathleen Parker would co-host a show on politics and current events.
Are you f*ckin kidding me? No wonder their ratings suck. Aside from Anderson Cooper, I can barely watch CNN anymore.
