Teens terrorize elementary-school students
Philadelphia Daily News ^ | 05/01/2010 | VALERIE RUSS

No elementary-school lunch recess on a warm sunny afternoon is supposed to turn out like this:

About 50 boys, all fourth- and fifth-graders, were outside, some shooting baskets, others playfully roughhousing, at the Julia Ward Howe Academic Plus Elementary School in Fern Rock.

But suddenly, seven to eight high-school students stormed into the yard swinging aluminum baseball bats at the children, said school district spokesman Fer-nando Gallard.

They hit and injured at least 10 boys, according to a note sent to parents from Howe Principal Doaquin R. Jessup.

"We don't understand what happened," Gallard said. "This is one of those unexplainable, outrageous incidents that just makes you shake your head."

Police said at least three of the Martin Luther King Jr. High students, whose names and ages were not provided, were arrested yesterday.

“We don’t understand what happened,” Gallard said. “This is one of those unexplainable, outrageous incidents that just makes you shake your head.”

What’s not to understand? You took God out of the classroom and now you’re just reaping what you sow. What’s so hard to understand about that?

Something must have caused this to happen....Oppression? Racism? Tea Party? Republicans? Conservatism? Police-ism? Must be one of these....

Public education at its best. Maybe those teenagers just hadn't had enough self-esteem boosting? Stupid liberals. Thank God they haven't been able to outlaw parochial schools yet.



No Liberal Tools, medium

"We don't understand what happened," Gallard said.

It's a (relatively) new phenomenon called "wilding" -- marauding in bands of inner city "youths" terroize anything their their paths. I've read about several such incidents in the past few months on FR. ...but none have involved targeting little kids (as in this case).

We visited Philadelphia, to see the Liberty Bell and other historical sites. Gad, what a dump! OK, maybe outside the city it’s nice, but it was disgusting — dirty, filled with sodomites partying, decrepit and decaying.

In fact, I was thinking it would be nice to take the historical sites over and protect them. The City of Philadelphia does not seem to be making that a priority; should it be left to them to protect OUR legacy?

oh, but I digress .... When I saw that this was in Philadelphia, then it made sense. Not logical sense, mind you.

Someone must have heard about the incidents in China and decided to copy.

Maybe they were just protesting AZ's new illegal immigration law.

“It’s black thing, you wouldn’t understand’’ So I guess then we need more ‘’diversity training’’ in MLK public schools? Racism, this is a hate crime, pure and simple.

I find myself doing that all the time. It’s catchy, and a knee jerk to seeing propaganda in it’s raw form. Sick.
