Nimesh Patel, 17, was taking a nap after finishing his final when he heard screaming and saw his teacher trying to fend off her assailant. Nimesh Patel definitely woke up...

Local Atlanta radio talker Kimmer said this afternoon that most of the kids ran out of the room screaming, but thank goodness these kids and some others didn't panic.
We never know how we would react in a similiar situation, but these teenagers found out early in their lives, they're made of "the right stuff".

The was horribly dangerous and reckless of them. They should have called 911 and waited until the police arrived. I mean, he could stabbed them! Weren't they thinking about only themselves like they should have been? They are rejecting our public school culture, maybe they should have to spend time with counselors to drive those false impulses of bravery and self-sacrifice from their twisted minds.

ping the bravo...great pic on your homepage of the veteran standing...agree too about the women in combat...Susan Kay was my 60 gunner (standing in the back of a pickup truck-talk about exposed to fire) on all my trips up and down 21 October Road in Mogadishu ...no fear in her, for sure- she could hold her own against anyone, and I did trust her with my life...congrats on your family, past, present and future...

The teacher said she is in the final stages of divorce after seven years and had a restraining order against her husband. Lotta good THAT did. But I have to tell you........ where were the hall monitors? At our kids' high school, the hall monitors are at every corner asking for passes, etc. And if this guy wasn't listed on the "banned from the premises" list, then that's the teacher's own fault, sorry to say.
But good for the kids, in any event. Yes, they are heroes!!!

Nimesh Patel, a fine traditional Southern name. I wonder if his friends call him Bubba?
