A kindergarten riot in Cleveland means 8 arrests.

You would think that a kindergarten graduation would be a cause for celebration.  After all, it’s a promotion from kindergarten to elementary school, it’s a milestone in a child’s life, and it’s the last gasp of babyhood for a young child.  However, for some people, apparently a kindergarten graduation is a great way to get your beating on.  Eight people were arrested after a kindergarten graduation turned into a riot.

The graduation was at Michael R. White Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio.  The feud started between two teenage girls and then spread out, bringing in various relatives and family members until it was a full-fledged donnybrook, like the last of the peanuts were gone.    The eight people were arrested and charged with aggravated rioting, which sounds like the most awesome charge ever.  This wouldn’t have happened if there were a designated fight club room at the school, but here we are.

“It’s an absolute shame,” said Cleveland Police Commander Wayne Drummond, one of the first officers on the scene.  “That something as good as a graduation ceremony, a promotion ceremony, is marred by the actions of a few.”  He added that the school was promptly locked down to “make sure the kids were OK.”

The good news?  No guns were involved and no kids were injured.  The only confiscated weapons were a hammer and a stick.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
