I can't hearrrr yooooou!
The stupid is enough to make your eyes bleed.
Oh, good God...
Yet another sign of a formerly great country having been reduced to a pathetic, quivering mass of panicked fear of its own shadow.
Man up, America.. you’re embarrassing your sad self.
And these are the people educating the children!
FOUR schools?????
Did they spot the Queen Anne on the sound or something???
Next will come the lawsuits because some precious flower will be suffering from PTSD and the school district/teacher will be blamed.
“””“I didn’t know what was going on … we were all huddled up in a corner.””””””
Do they have an official name for plastic sword-a-phobia yet?
I can't hearrrr yooooou!
Fire any "worker" who can't tell the difference between a plastic sword and a gun.
Who want’s to take bets the reporting hysterical individual was a female?
I think a 6th grader could have written a better article than this idiot reporter.
Still, the school staffer is an even larger idiot and should be given a couple of weeks “time out’ without pay because of all the trouble she caused and the cost to the community.
I mean no offense to any FR teachers, but my public school teachers in the ‘40s-’50s weren’t such wimps as the teachers of today. I have lost all respect for public school teachers, in general, although I know there are still some good ones out there.
We’ll lock down a school because of a plastic sword, but we won’t restrict the travel of those coming from ebola-ridden countries.
The cafeteria employee also often mistakes Moochelle's entrees for real food.
My how we’ve fallen. I had a history professor back in college who dressed up in full period civil war Union and Confederat uniforms for his lectures about the civil war. Complete with a fully functional musket and bayonet. No one went screaming about nor was the school locked down. My home is in the country and no one thinks twice when someone is packing or walking through the store with a rifle.
Yargh ! Avast there , ye land lubber ! Keelhauling the idiot that caused this snafu would be well within reason.
My boys were In one of the schools affected by this lockdown. Two of the schools are basically on the same campus, and the other two are right next to each other, but a couple blocks away from the first two schools. The original story was that a gunman dressed in camo pants was running around the campus. That caused the lockdown. To this day I don’t know if that part of the story was ever true and many variations of that story came out within the hours after the lockdown.
I wasn’t worried about it at the time and figured there was a misunderstanding, but a lot of parents were freaking out. First and foremost, this is a military town. The town those schools are in have a huge hunting crowd. You are bound to see camo on someone. Half the kids in the high school wearing hunting camo as their regular daily clothes.
I still don’t know the whole story, but I do know some idiot staff member had a knee jerk reaction and caused a lot of panic. Stupid.
Hoplophobes on parade, terrorizing our children.
Maybe someone thought a Islamic was going to behead some people.
