What the Hell were these people thinking?
Now, look, I’m all cool with preparedness and whatnot but gimme a break:
Staff members of an elementary school staged a fictitious gun attack on students during a class trip, telling them it was not a drill as the children cried and hid under tables.
The mock attack Thursday night was intended as a learning experience and lasted five minutes during the weeklong trip to a state park, said Scales Elementary School Assistant Principal Don Bartch, who led the trip.
Say some good citizen with a handgun carry permit wandered by? And, of course, the parents are pretty upset.
Update: I should finish my morning reading before posting. Insty says almost exactly the same thing.

Did you actually think you would get anything better from the Compulsory Indoctrination System?

Tennessee needs to abolish marriage between first cousins. Seriously, these teachers committed several serious crimes. Aggravated assault and false imprisonment at first glance. They should be fired and go to jail.

If my kid had been on this trip, and had I not known this was gonna happen, I’d be on the phone to my lawyer. First, to sue the school, second, to get me out of jail after horsewhipping everyone involved.
Lucky for the “attacker” no one can legally carry a firearm in state parks yet.
