I think we all realize what “the big problem is” here, so take that self righteous bullshit and stick it up your ass. Someone always has to come into these kind of threads and chastise people for commenting on amusing secondary details, as if we should all just mindlessly be wailing and droning about how outraged we are.

Yeah, when in doubt, always escalate to “stick it up your ass.”

Can we get back to the thing about the cockroaches? I mean… I’ve been around the Internet a few times. Really. But I have yet to run into the “putting cockroaches on people’s faces” fetish.

Well, until now, I guess.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

He blindfolded and gagged kids in a classroom? And put cockroaches on them? And nobody at the school noticed? And not one single kid went home and said, “Mr. X bound and gagged me and put cockroaches on my face! It was cool!”

This has got to be the strangest story in a while.

A longer AP report has somewhat of an explanation:

Miramonte serves a poor, mainly Hispanic neighborhood. More than half of its approximately 1,400 students are still learning English, according to the school’s website.

“They didn’t know they were being violated in that manner. They just thought it was a game,” [Sheriff’s Lt. Carlos] Marquez [of the Special Victims Bureau] said.

Only one girl but this is scary in how similar it is.

Mother notices her child isn’t on the playground at recess, girl says “Oh I was in the classroom with teacher playing the lollipop game” Blindfolded.

Because, as we all know, Spanish has no word for cockroach.

If I had only known that this was the game the song referred to.

[YogSothoth]

What. The. FUCK!?!?!?

[LurkerInNJ]

And not one child asked in the past 30 years mentioned this “game” when asked what they did in school that day?

This whole story is mind boggling.

[Argent_Towers]

I love this detail too, from the story in the OP:

A blue plastic spoon and container found in trash in Berndt’s classroom tested positive for semen, the sheriff’s statement said.

I know I definitely would have wondered what color the plastic spoon was. But wait - were the spoon and the container blue? Or was it just the spoon that was blue? If so, why wasn’t the container’s color specified? I think future revisions of this story really need to include that crucial information.

Because it was before Labor Day, right?

Wait wait wait. He served them cookies and semen, and they are locking him up for it? Society can be so backwards sometimes.

Well, they were oatmeal raisin.

[Boyo_Jim]

Pan fried semen cookies?

Yeah, it’s a thing. There are clearly sexually-oriented videos out there of people eating bugs and the like.

[BrainGlutton]

Jesus, doesn’t anybody just fuck a little kid up the ass any more?!

@BrainGlutton

Jesus, doesn’t anybody just fuck a little kid up the ass any more?!

And I thought what I said was bad! I guess we’ll both be burning in hell together

Yeah, it’s a thing. There are clearly sexually-oriented videos out there of people eating bugs and the like.

And if there happen to be ones of bugs eating people, I don’t really need to know.

[Ludovic]

It’s a fetish planet. It’s a bug planet. Would you like to know more?

@ladyfoxfyre

Yes, this is the game. Being poor and Mexican, all we had to play with was tape, cookies, semen, and the occasional cucaracha grande.

[Inner_Stickler]

Don’t forget the spoon. Spoons are key, otherwise how would you score any points?
