Have public schools lost their rabid-assed minds? I'm gonna have to say yes to that one.
A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers on rooftops, close nearby streets and lock down the school. All over a giant burrito.

Someone called authorities Thursday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High.

The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
In their defense, it did have jalapeƱos, which could possibly prove quite dangerous to someone with digestive problems.
"I didn't know whether to laugh or cry," school Principal Diana Russell said.
I've got an even better plan "C": How 'bout we stop extorting money from property owners to fund a defunct system of public education that doesn't have enough sense to realize you don't need snipers on the roofs to deal with Mexican food? Remember when the general public has an iota of common sense?

Yeah, me neither.
