For some reason biker bars, sporting events and rap concerts always get a bad wrap for being hotbeds of tension ready to boil over into fistfights until police are called and order is restored. Hey, if that guy at the Yankee game didn't want to get drop kicked in the throat he shouldn't have worn a Marlins hat.
...But back to the point, too long we've neglected the real culprit for unnecessary raging violence - children. Yep, you read that right, our hope for the future are the seeds of destruction that are causing full grown adults to pummel each other like neanderthals. Chuck E. Cheese, T-ball games, amusement parks, pretty much anywhere you can find children you'll find adults watching over their young, ready to pounce on anyone who skips little Timmy in line at the pizza buffet. We can now add to that list of dangerous places we should all stay away from, kindergartens.
The Associated Press reported yesterday that an all out brawl erupted at a kindergarten graduation in Victorville, California between several women. The entire school was placed on lockdown Wednesday morning after two women got into an argument and went all mother grizzly bear on each other. I guess a couple of the men tried to break it up, somebody shoved someone, then a grab that resulted in a "get your hands off me, ho" followed by a "you don't call my wife a ho..." and next thing you know 20 people are involved in the fight. I'm picturing a scene out of the movie Roadhouse only with finger paints splattered everywhere and much smaller chairs being broken over peoples backs. Please, tell me somebody got the incident on a their cell phone camera.
Sheriffs from the San Bernadino County sheriff's department arrested two mothers at the scene with a school district official saying there could be more arrests.
And what was the root cause of this classroom explosion of whoop-ass? Children. They always have to be causing trouble and making adults do stupid things like punch each other in the face or buy a minivan. I think what we can all learn from this story is to stay away from anyplace where there are lots of kids. Because, where you find kids you find parents -unstable, irrational parents who could go blind with rage at any second should their child strike out in little league. I'm gonna stay in my dark dive bar where it's safe.
