Eight juveniles arrested, remainder of event at Britton Middle School canceled.

MORGAN HILL — A carnival at a middle school descended into violent anarchy Friday night when officers tried to arrest a boy who had allegedly given a knife to another attendee, police said.

Shortly before 6 p.m., Britton Middle School officials told two uniformed Morgan Hill police officers assigned to the Home and School Club Carnival that a boy at the event had a knife.

Officers arrested the boy without the incident. They then identified the boy who had given him the knife and learned he had been involved in a disturbance at the school earlier in the day and was asked to leave, police said.

When officers approached him, he allegedly got into a fighting stance and threatened to hurt the officers.

The officers called for backup. Police said the officers were attacked by the boy and two other juveniles when they went to arrest him. The officers were not seriously injured.

This has to be coming from home, although living pod is a better description. No respect, no enjoyment of simple fun things without thugging it up, wanting to fight cops????? This world is insane!

Are these regular middle schoolers (as in ages 11-13) or hoodlum middle schoolers (as in ages 12-18)?

These kids would fall under the general description of ‘teens’.

That term tells us everything we need to know about them, everything the Press wants to hide from us.

This has to be coming from home


Girl at a middle school I sub at: refuses to say pledge, says there is no justice or freedom in America, insists on being called ‘African’ rather than ‘African-American’ and claims she’s bisexual, but she’s only 12 years old. Teachers say it is all coming from home and her bitter dad.

These are possibly Democrat “Dreamers” from Salinas to the south. You can take a kid out of Central America but can’t take the Central America out of the kid.

A quibble: In Morgan Hill, these “teens” are more likely to be South of the Border. Dunno if him having a knife instead of a gun here is supporting evidence of that.

Some people in the comments section referred to them as gangbangers, so I guess could go either way depending on that area.

Poisoned at 12. Utterly sad. Luckily I don’t see that crap at the primary school where I teach. But there are other issues........

At the school I subbed at, a middle schooler told me “My momma says I don’t have to listen to you because you’re white”.

I said “Have fun being a loser the rest of your life”, and moved on.
