I don't know if this story has reached the AP wire or not but today the brave defenders of the faith here in Pensacola, FL have done their sworn duty to protect us all by arresting a 5yr old on assault charges (againts one of the Adult staff of the school).
It made it to CNN.
These are the same brave soles who a few months ago when confronted by a man sitting in his car with a gun to his head solved this problem by riddeling his car, surrounding buildings, and a McDonalds playground with over 100 rounds.
As soon as I have some more information on this I will post a full report.
Their story was that the child had a behavioral problem and the parents refused to get counceling when the school requested. She apparently goes on room smashing temper tantrums on a regular basis. The father of the child said it was the most ludicrous thing he had ever heard of, reportedly. Can't say that changes the situation a heck of a lot though... ____________________________________________________________________ | | | When a man assumes a public trust, he should | | consider himself public property. | | | | Thomas Jefferson | | | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
