More fights break out at Tara High School
News Report
It's one thing to read about stuff like that, its a whole different world when you are caught in the middle of it. One thing the article doesn't say is that there was a rumor that one of the students had a gun in the commons before the fights broke out. At least 5 minutes before the fights, rumors were going around that someone brought a gun to school. While I never saw it, others claimed to have seen it. I think people were overreacting from yesterday, because no one ever found it after the fight. A bunch of people left though because of that. The fights started to break out right when the bell was ringing, so I hurried to class. My first period class has a very expasive view of the commons so I was staring out the door as there was this mass of people clustered together. The police officers were already in the school, so they went in. As I was watching, the crowd all of a sudden started to scatter, quickly. My first thought was that the gun had been brought out, but it really the police officer taking out his mace and knocking a girl to the ground. At that point my teacher made me come in and shut the door (before the whole class had even arrived). A few seconds later, there was a thud on the wall, like someone had been thrown against it. After that, order had started to retore, then another fight broke out in the commons area. After all of that, we went into lockdown and stayed in first hour for forever. The rest of the day was uneventful (not surprising because there were about 15 police officers around the school).
However, even after all of that, the football game went on. We were beaten by Catholic 55-0, which is pretty good compared to how I thought we would lose. Then on the way to the school (we had a police escort) two members of the band (who I never suspected of having conflict) started to get serious, to the point of fighting. As if it wasn't enought about the fighting for two days at school, but our own band members.
On a lighter note lets examine the line in this article...
"'How do you charge a victim with battery?' she said."
I'm sorry... but I had to laugh when I read that.
