OK, this is f'in ridiculous...

Check out the alert on the top of the page. I went here to see why the bomb squad and television cameras were on my campus (the University of New Mexico) but I only found this stupid alert.

In case you miss it:
"Clovis High on lockdown
The school says a student was seen with a baseball bat on campus. Stay with KOB.com for updates."

:eyes:

[gaspee]

1. Isn't baseball season starting?

Around here it is, anyway.

Pssst, watch out for kids with tennis rackets!

[MadBadger]

5. Its also tennis season and Golf Season

So send the rest of the baseball team, as well as the tennis and Golf team after this kid.

2. Hm. Baseball cap on campus. Now, that's a rare sight.

[Bluebear]

12. ...

3. OMG! A baseball bat! What ever will jocks on a campus think of

next? :eyes: That IS f'in ridiculous, but I did pause to chuckle at how ludicrous it is. :-)

4. Boston shut down a school last week because of suspicious bookbags

in the playground.

8. Yikes, A Bookbag At School?

Too funny!

[PA Democrat]

16. Don't laugh. A local school has temporarily banned backpacks

due to a threat.

[lligrd]

17. Lockers Were Banned In Ours Until

parents became outraged at the weight of the bookbags our kids were forced to carry. Personally, I liked our Junior Highs solution, duplicate sets of books, one for home, one for school. Worked great.

6. Oh No - Not A Kid With A Baseball Bat

Too stupid. I got a call today from my schools supeintendent saying they had stationed police at his school because of a threat at a school in a neighboring town. That school was closed. Hmmm, kids get a day off if a threat is made. Wonder if the kids have caught on?

[-..__...]

7. Did it look like this one?

[lligrd]

9. Does That One Belong To 007 Or Ted Nugent?

:rofl:

[phusion]

10. LOL! An update...

"Clovis High lockdown lifted. Police say the student with a baseball bat was going to baseball practice."

[lligrd]

15. Too Much!

I wish Right Wingers would just stay home and hide under their beds.

11. Indeed ...

Whenever I hear someone say that VT should have been locked down immediately (perhaps so), I can't help but think that our society will be paralyzed if that thinking is applied everywhere.

We had 3 local High School incidents this week. One involved 2 students who were threatening some kind of carnage on their MySpace pages (including suicide). They have been arrested (I think).
Another incident involved Janitor who found 3 bullets in a bathroom garbage can.
These sound like they type of situations that DO need to be addressed.

Sorry, but someone with a baseball bat is harmless. Sure they can get in 1 good surprise attack, but after that they are harmless.

13. Now You Know What the TAIRRISTS Are Gonna Do If We Leave Iraq

Come over here in droves and frighten us with those scary-looking baseball bats.

Pwease, pwease pwotect us, Mr. Pwesident Bush!!

14. What we're seeing is a nation-wide alergic reaction

Our immune system is over-reacting.

[gratuitous]

18. What's with all the sarcasm, folks?

Gosh, there was a time when the mass media said "boo" and you'd all wet your pants and look to Dubya to save you, like good little patriotic Americans. The Bush administration remembers that time wistfully as the good old days, when they could even launch a war on dubious pretexts, and every major media outlet would be right there, cheering them on as modern day colossi, striding the earth and putting things to right.

Now you're all analytical and stuff, and even the massacre of 33 people on Monday doesn't keep you good and scared and obedient like it used to. It is to weep for the forces of fascism and repression.

19. The Only Thing That Scares Me Anymore

is our current government.

[StarryNite]

20. HA!

I guess the schools are going to have to switch to Nerf balls and bats.

[lpbk2713]

21. Damn, I hope they don't have ROTC at that school.

They'd call in a B-52 strike at the first sign of someone in camos carrying an automatic rifle.


"TAIRISTS!!! TAIRISTS!!!"

[damntexdem]

22. Think of the panic if they sight a ...

hockey mask!
