Outta Control

Remember the girl who was caught vandalizing the building?
Well, today I walked out of my room to see NINE police officers walking down the hallway. I could hear the police helicopter outside and hear sirens. I walked down the hallway, the front office door was closed. Inside, that girl was on the ground kicking and screaming, being held down by the principal, two police officers, and a random mother who had been in the office.
I don't know the whole story, but apparently the girl was being arrested and she totally flipped out. Then her mother showed up at the school and also flipped out--so much so that she attacked the principal AND two police officers. When she knocked one of the police officers over, the other one called for back-up, and the entire city showed up. My next period class showed up--they had been in gym (OUTSIDE) when this whole thing started. Can you imagine being 11 years old, playing outside and 5 police cars with sirens on and a helicopter show up. The cops jump out of the car with guns drawn, and you're expected to go calmly throughout the rest of the day?
"I know you just saw a woman assault a police officer and a girl your age that you know get arrested, but who wants to learn about Ancient Mesopotamia?!"
