Drunk mom allegedly runs through school with sword
Wonder how long before all the teachers in this school are fired?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Police said the mother of an elementary school student drank a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor before brandishing a sword in her child's school. The woman, 32, apparently intended to confront the parents of another child who had been in a spitting match with her child the previous day.

According to court records, an employee at Riverview Elementary School in Memphis reported a drunk woman armed with a sword was running through the halls of the school and had threatened to cut her.

Officers who arrived on the scene retrieved a black cane that concealed the blade.

The woman charged with aggravated assault and having a weapon on school property.

6. Its obvious that all of the teachers in the school must be fired.
How can a child LEARN in THAT environment?

A REAL teacher would have FALLEN on that sword!


Do I really need this:

:sarcasm:

9. whatever is wrong with that woman, I'm pretty sure it's more than just a 40oz'er

Unless she's allergic to alcohol. Which is possible I guess in this case.

ETA: It's not an allergy in a true sense of the word, but some people cannot metabolize alcohol normally, and this means that even small amounts of the stuff can cause wild behavior like this.

11. interesting....
my college art instructor told us about a mock sword fight during a lecture hall presentation. the professor looked up from his notes,watched for a few seconds and then continued...


drinking a 40 and carrying a cane sword is`t a good way to settle a dispute....
