Sigh. I have to go kick a high school boy's ass. Maybe two boys.

A couple of punks were picking on my daughter on the bus yesterday. Now she's scared to get off the bus today, because her stop is where all the fights occur. (I know this because I've seen two fights at this stop).

So, I've got to meet her at the bus stop, and glare menacingly at these two young pukes. Now how is a middle-aged woman supposed to intimidate these kids? They're not smart enough to know that the real threat is not physical violence, it's lawyers! :silly:

And I didn't wear my black hoodie, either. This should be funny...

1. Give 'em the Michelle speech from Tommy Boy:

Listen up, you little spazoids. I know where you live and I've seen where you sleep. I swear to everything holy that your mothers will cry when they see what I've done to you.

2. That's good, real good.

I'll have to try to paraphrase that. I don't want to directly threaten them with harm, cause that could create problems for me.

I thought about getting the ex to go there and wait. But he would probably set up a sniper's nest, and line the perimeter of the bus stop with claymore mines (he was in Nam).

Honestly, kids these days...

3. This is how we deal with it around here on the school bus

The driver of Prince George's County School Bus 263 was fed up with her rowdy passengers. She had stopped once already to break up a fight en route to DuVal High School. Then she had to pull off Annapolis Road in New Carrollton to stop another ruckus.

Out of options, carrying about 40 students who had 15 minutes to get to class, she called for county police help.

Two officers soon arrived, aiming to transport two antagonists, a boy and a girl, to the Lanham school. Then things really got out of hand. After police tried to arrest the girl, a melee erupted that eventually involved six officers and at least as many students, according to accounts yesterday from police and school officials.

Students came "piling off the bus, probably 25," to watch or participate, said Capt. Andrew Ellis.

Officers used pepper spray and a Taser stun gun to end the Tuesday morning brawl and arrested six juveniles on charges of assault, Ellis said. He said the use of the Taser was limited to "a quick touch" to jolt and subdue one student who apparently was threatening to attack with a stick.
