Even the police laughed at the subject of fear when it was unveiled. Thanks for the giggle, it’s good to have at least one newstory about a scare in a school that ends well, with laughter. 😃 ---

> [@danceswithcats](#): > > They’re Weapons of Ass Destruction. :eek: Snerk! 😃 Ok, this is just cosmic timing, my son’s junior high was locked down for the last hour today. Of course, something like a lockdown would happen when I’m working mandatory OT and can’t pick him up, and regular sitter has an appointment, back-up picker-upper chick was utterly floored. Cops all around, no communication to the hordes of parents (and picker-uppers) in the parking lot, the lockdown was over after a quartet of cops went in the office doors and hustled a student out to a car and sped off. The up side? No one at the school was hurt, or even in any tangible danger. The down side? The student who got hustled was in danger, major drama at her homestead and it was thought that her freaking out bad guy father was going to bust up in the school and kidnap/harm her. I really really hope that family finds some peace, that poor kid. However, being able to read this to my 12 year old, who of course is too cool to admit to being at all freaked by the lockdown and cop invasion, and crack fart jokes for a solid ten minutes? Priceless! 😃 ---

> [@Queen Tonya](#): > > Ok, this is just cosmic timing, my son’s junior high was locked down for the last hour today. Lockdown? Whenever Palmdale High School had a riot, they sent us at Quartz Hill High School home early. Never figured out why. QHHS was the ‘progressive’ school and its students were very unlikely to start trouble. Heck, in those days before mobile phones who would know what’s happening in Palmdale anyway?
