We were told the president had been assasinated and that's when the children cheered.
Were you one of the children cheering? Explain.
I find it hard to believe the little turds cared about politics. They would have cheered for any presidents death regardless of party because when you're 12, you are anti-authority, rebellious - the president represents authority. Or the little turds cheered because they made the correct inference that they would get to leave early.
We had one kid who told everyone he was killed with a machine gun and then he made the machine gun noises. He had a big grin on his face. We were about 12 at the time. The kid was always a little idiot so he was ignored.
I don't remember anyone else making stupid comments. I do remember one teacher was a little red in the face possibly from crying but I don't remember anything except a lot of silence.
