Unplanned LEO "school shooting"

Maybe in between their diversity and self esteem classes they never heard the tale about the boy who cried wolf . . .

They still tell that tale, but the ending is happy.  Also I caught a retelling of "The Ant and the Grasshopper" where in the end the ant shared and everyone was happy. This was on "Sprout" tv.

>.<

I prefer the modern version of the Little Red Hen, where after she tells everyone no, the other animals get the government to force her to share her bread. She, of course, never makes bread again.

The one I'm thinking of was a church. (But, IIRC, it was a Sunday school class that they pretended to kidnap.)

There was a staged kidnapping at a church youth group (I say staged rather than mock because they *did* kidnap the yoots), and a mock school shooting at... I think it was ETSU (East Tennessee State?) a couple of years ago.  I may still have a link on my other computer.

Of course no charges were filed; one of the kidnappers was a retired cop so that makes it OK :cuss:

Did anyone notice this part?

“I’ll tell you, the whole situation was horrible,” Morgan Gover told the paper. “I got a couple in the front and a couple in the back.”

What the heck is she talking about? Was she actually struck by flying projectiles?  Wadding from blanks?  Simunitions?  Elsewhere in the article they mention "blanks" were used.  If the subjects of this demonstration were actually being struck by something, it seems that would be a massive liability, unless they were wearing protective equipment.

Too bad one of the teachers didn't have a Pop-tart.  He could have bitten it into the shape of a gun and saved them all.

Can you imagine if someone in the room had the sense of mind to full-body-overhead-fling a chair at the intruders, and follow up with a charge and a beating?

Plenty of classrooms had signed baseball bats when I was in HS.  I'm pretty sure I could still hit a home run to the face of someone threatening my kids, and really take full advantage of the fact that a baseball bat never runs out of ammo.

Close, it was ECSU (N. Carolina) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1978067/posts

While trying to find this, I found about a half a dozen similar incidents. including one in January of this year, (gee, what was still on everybody's mind in January?)
