Do you remember the Batman movies where the Penguin took control Gotham City using his umbrella gun? The police in a town near Philidelphia must have thought that the Penguin was taking over Upper Dublin High School earlier this week. Apparently a high school student brought an umbrella to school for a science experiement and was walking around the hallway between classes with the umbrella over his shoulder as he was a soldier and the umbrella was a weapon. Administrators saw this and freaked out, calling the police. The principal paniced, announced over the loudspeaker that the school was in lockdown and that police were on their way. Students and parents began freaking out in light of the Newtown Conneticut tragedy. When police arrived at the school and confronted the student they learned that he did not actually have a gun. The boy was not charged or arrested but he was disciplined. Brendan Spaar thinks the police over reacted and does not think the student should face any punishment. In a shocking statement to a local newspaper, Deputy police Chief Lee Benson said it was "poor timing" on the students' behalf to carry out the project in the days after the Newtown tragedy. So high school students everywhere should stop doing their homework and postpone their projects out of respect for the victims because they have control over their due dates afterall. Just tell your teachers that you are following strict police orders.
