How do you battle a culture like this?
Two rivals faced each other on the football field 2 weeks ago. It was the home team's homecoming and the visitors beat them.
After the game, the visitors went to their locker room - but it was locked. At that point, about 30 of the home team jumped them and started beating up the visitors. At one point a home player had a visitor on the ground, took off his own helmet and started to beat the visitor with it.
The visiting coach jumped in, was set upon and beaten severely with a helmet in the face, breaking many facial bones.
The home team is Hancock County. The visitors are Warren County.
The Hancock County sheriff refused to arrest anyone or turn it over to the GBI - he finally did.
There have been no arrests. There have been no sanctions against the Hancock County football team.
You can read about it here or here or here or here or here or here or here .
Now, none of those stories were on the front page. And the question should be, why isn't this news? Why haven't there been arrests? Why haven't there been sanctions?

Six Word Saturday
There is life outside of school.

And this week - if it accomplished nothing else - reminded me of that.
Some weeks are just meant to be endured - and forgotten.

Slick is schizo
Today being a new day, Slick acts like yesterday didn't happen and apparently he has the thing he lost - and now we have to discuss it to see about moving forward. (No, I am not in trouble - I am still pissed.) (I may be taking over for PO now that she has landed in the catbird seat and is dizzyling happy).
On a different note, one of my ex students made the front page of the paper. And not in a good way.
