Best line in the article:

When asked if the young man said anything to him, Santana said: “He said he couldn’t breathe -- which was too bad for him I guess.”

When it is finally revealed that the student was only trying to fend off the zombie attack, you’ll all feel very foolish won’t you?

See I told you all that not all public school teachers are libtards. I feel like I am in good company with this guy!

Bogus headline - how can you do a massacre with just some lead pipes and a sword?

“I put him in a bear hug and then I decided to flip him and put him on the ground,” he said. “That’s when the thinking came in -- I thought -- ’If I'm wrong, I’ll apologize to his parents later and if I’m right I’m going to hold this kid down.’”

If I'm wrong, I'll apologize to his parents later...

Bet the teacher gets required to take mandatory aggression control training because of poor impulse control as evidenced by his willingness to resort to violence before attempting to use reason and persuasion.

How does a kid walk around with a sword and chainsaw and not create a fire-storm of attention?

I'm not sure but somehow the Teacher's Union must be to blame.

LOL - I love it. Thank God for brave people like this that take charge.
