I call it "karma"

Friday, 15 May: Room 134, Buttress High School, 4th period.

"Mr. Shirley, do you ever go to Wal-Mart?"

"Well, not that often, Ms. Purcell. Why do you ask?"

"Petey says if he sees you, you better watch out."

"Oh- does he?"

Despronte' "Petey" Blinkey was shot in the leg this weekend at a local Econo Lodge. Another student was not so lucky. He was shot in the head.

So basically, Petey's going to have to hobble up to you, to kick your arse?

And he comes with one fewer of his crew for backup?

Have you ever found yourself *less* intimidated?

And how did Wal*Mart, seedy as it may be, play into this? Petey sweeps floors there or something?

I guess just someplace public I could potentially be seen...

See, this is all because Walmart is run by the Chicoms! You should start a thread about it at THR.

Heh.

Yeah, that's right. :-)

I just read the attached piece.

I take that the economic downturn has caused WRDW to lay off their proofreaders. My 7th grade grammar/comp teacher would have positively covered that article in red ink.

Heh.

Make my above quote "I take it that..."

Just another good reason to have a carry permit...

that's just... wow.

Is this like... common in school now? I don't remember it being so ... feral. I mean, amongst the kids sure.. but threatening the teacher?
