    • ufia, on 12/14/2007, -23/+6I don't know about her, but the students singing Guns N' Roses songs are.
      • Lyavain, on 12/14/2007, -1/+18The song "Welcome to the Jungle" is one of the songs on Guitar Hero III. That's probably where they heard it from.
        • Cid420, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5Lets hope that was the case. If it was from San Andres they would be searching his house for guns...
    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3***** imagine if Drowning Pool - Bodies played over the PA she might have called the Army
  • Rich711, on 12/14/2007, -4/+113I think I saw this movie. Teacher stays late grading papers. Cleans chalkboard. Hears a door slam. Footsteps, checks the hall, sees no one. Goes to get her bag. Over the loudspeaker "Welcome to the Jungle, you're gonna die!" Music kicks in. Camera spins around room. She runs down hallway. Lockerdoor opens. Machete swings. Head rolls down the hall. Thud of body hitting floor. The End.

    Hilarious.
  • codemonkeysteve, on 12/14/2007, -34/+12What, no taser? Anyone caught singing Guns N' Roses deserves a good tasering ...
    • capiCrimm, on 12/14/2007, -8/+3you mean anyone listening. I'm sure Axl Rose has enough money to not be tazed.
    • drgmdp, on 12/14/2007, -2/+16wtf, i've already read 2 negative comments about guns n roses
      dude, that band used to kick ass massively
      • howilearned, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2Operative words in that sentence are: "used to".

        Just kidding. G 'n R kicks ass.
    • futebollounge, on 12/14/2007, -4/+1but seriously. if your a music lover you wold know that "used to" strongly speaks the truth. theres just too many good bands these days.
  • joshlewis, on 12/14/2007, -3/+66Welcome to the jungle, baby!
  • Jessica36, on 12/14/2007, -8/+2This is awesome! haha
  • Error601, on 12/14/2007, -5/+66I think Karaoke in general should be considered a mortal threat.
  • TrogdorSmash24, on 12/14/2007, -12/+76Fire her if she is that jumpy she has no business teaching, I would have to question her mental state she sounds like someone who is one step away from going bat ***** crazy.
    • cliffzdude, on 12/14/2007, -11/+5'Cause what we read from a local CBS affiliate can tell us everything we need to know about a teacher's mental state, and thusly if she ought to be employed or not. Prejudge much?
    • xkorbin, on 12/14/2007, -2/+10Dugg for using the term "bat ***** crazy"
    • haterofps3, on 12/14/2007, -3/+7Wrong

      Just because she has never heard a Guns & Roses album is no reason to fire someone, her reaction to the situation was rather wise. She heard someone say into the intercom "Welcome to the Jungle, Your gonna die", She locked her door and called the police.

      She said afterwards that it would have been way scarier if it hadn't been a prank. Meaning that she understood the humor in what had happened and was able to see past being scared to death.

      Not everyone is still in "Terrorist Shock" most of us have moved on maybe you should to!
      • dreimanis, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1dude you won me. i actually tried to click on your avatar.
    • cheekdog, on 12/14/2007, -1/+5i teach elementary school and work a lot after hours also (pretty much can't do the job otherwise). schools are creepy at night, especially if the janitor turns off some of the lights. your room is your own little world and the pa can scare the crap out of you.
  • MasterThief117, on 12/14/2007, -4/+48Surprised they were not tased.
  • KickinitLegit, on 12/14/2007, -2/+30You know where you aaaarrrreeeee?????
  • whatthefu, on 12/14/2007, -3/+87"The teenagers were cuffed on the ground for about 15 minutes..."These things happen," Van Ness said. "Luckily it was humorous. You kind of have a gut feeling. As soon as we got there, we spoke to the three kids. They understood."" YES OFFICER I AM SURE THE TEENAGERS ALSO FOUND BEING HANDCUFFED AND ON THE GROUND TO BE side-splitting.
    • skatastrophy, on 12/14/2007, -0/+34Either you had spell check intervene with "side-splitting" or you're paying on a per-letter basis for caps lock :p
    • fasda, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5well in retrospect it could seem funny.
    • AAK15, on 12/14/2007, -2/+11haha officer i love abuse!
      • blup3ace, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7*taze* *taze*
        • haterofps3, on 12/14/2007, -6/+1It isn't abuse, They were on school property after hours and using school equipment (ie the intercomm) to cause mischif. There was what three teenagers and the officer had to investigate to make sure no one else was in the school should he take the ***** disturbers with him?
        • funkyjunk3, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1ahhhh, thank you. A good tasing feels goooood....

          /sarcasm
    • briguymaine, on 12/14/2007, -6/+11sometimes kids need a good cuffing by the cops.
    • barius, on 12/14/2007, -2/+5What, no tasers?
    • mranime, on 12/14/2007, -5/+4The teenagers were temporarily detained (not arrested, detained) for questioning while the police tried to figure out exactly what happened. The officer in question wasn't referring to cuffing the teenagers as "humorous", but to the whole situation. It was a misunderstanding. The kids thought they were alone, the teacher thought she was alone. Oops.

      Cute how you omitted the part of the article that stated the teenagers were released after the fifteen minutes of questioning and will not face charges.
    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Yeah because there is a lot of difference in being thrown on the ground and being "Detained" and being thrown on the ground and "arrested"
  • andrewcsayer, on 12/14/2007, -6/+4You could be mine, bitch
  • AAK15, on 12/14/2007, -1/+25Im gonna watch you bleed!
  • tkcom, on 12/14/2007, -3/+16It'd be more hilarious if it was "November Rain."
    • RuckusNutz, on 12/14/2007, -7/+3I don't see the irony. Please explain.
      • drgmdp, on 12/14/2007, -1/+13nobody said irony
        • RuckusNutz, on 12/14/2007, -2/+3Then why would it be "more hilarious"? Continue to explain.
          • sabach, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4He means that November Rain is clearly the most mind-numbingly frightening song in the GNR songbook.
          • RuckusNutz, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2I'm still not sold on November Rain being "more hilarious" in this situation. I had November Rain played on piano during the processional at my wedding and no one did any thing crazy or irrational (except me having November Rain played at my wedding). Even at the wedding if I were to have played Welcome to the Jungle, it would have been far more hilarious than my poor attempt at humor and satire with having November Rain played. I just don't see how November rain could be "more hilarious". Maybe I should just drop it, but I probably won't.
    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2It would be most Hilarious if it were "Chocolate Rain"

      "it was so scary he just kept going and going, either he was leaning away from the microphone to breath or he was a MONSTER! I played it safe and called the police"
  • heyiquit, on 12/14/2007, -16/+28Guns N' Roses?... Jesus Christ, I bet those kids still say, "Don't have a cow, man!"
  • DeviateSeptum, on 12/14/2007, -3/+81She should be arrested for not recognizing "Welcome to the Jungle". Geez.
  • ZachTorpy, on 12/14/2007, -2/+23Cue a coked-out Axl Rose to remind her that GnR belongs to him, and she is infact, going to die.
  • daxsymbiont, on 12/14/2007, -24/+3guns and ***** roses.

    those are ancient.

    are they still being considered offensive?

    *****, the 00s really are backwards.

    get back on the ***** course for more vulgarity. this political correctness of the 00s is ***** retarded. ***** off.

    BOB SAGET.
    • macinpcusr, on 12/14/2007, -2/+7Do you confuse the spacebar with the return key every 20 characters or so? Move back to the 90s and quit being such a square man.
      • daxsymbiont, on 12/14/2007, -2/+1"Move back to the 90s and quit being such a square man."

        That's so 90s. Straight out of Pulp Fiction. You loved it didn't you, great movie.
  • ngnboone, on 12/14/2007, -15/+3What are teenagers doing listening to Guns and Roses? (I'm sorry, N Roses)
  • sinrtb, on 12/14/2007, -3/+26Its a good day! no taser deaths for a whole 24 hours...
    • haterofps3, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2While it is a good thing no one has been tasered today what does that have to do with this story! Not all officers are power drunk and lasy, that assumption is dangerous and wrong. Treat your law officials with respect, as for the majority they are doing their best to protect you. Know your rights that way you will know when they are being violated so that you can report it.

      • alperea, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Funny thing is, that was actually in a movie. Someone sang Jamies got a gun at a football field. Then they tackled "Jamie". I can't remember the movie, maybe 'Not Another Teen Movie?'

    did that "teacher" ever think about going to the principals office or wherever the central PA is and tell those kids to stfu and get out of the school after hours.

  • 5xSTUN, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1You'll all be comforted to know that the teenagers in question are all being waterboarded to find out what they know about the US Constitution. So far, they're holding up remarkably well, they keep insisting they don't know anything.

    • haterofps3, on 12/14/2007, -3/+1Your a moron that isn't being a coward that is so he can investigate without the kids making a run for it. They were in government institution making mischif with government paid for equipment. This can almost be seen as breaking and entering, not to mention that they were uttering death threats through the PA system regardless GNR unless he has a mic and a band screaming "YOUR GONNA DIE" is kinda of a serious thing.
      • zunkus, on 12/15/2007, -0/+0I agree with the ***** pussy coward comment, get a life.
  • sidian, on 12/14/2007, -2/+1teachers are scared ***** at the moment..for good reason. public HS is an increasingly bizarre environment. while what she did was obviously an over reaction, I honestly can't believe other teachers didn't freak also. im suprised too that the kids weren't tazed and incarcerated. just to set an example you know, in case some of the other incorrigibles have any ideas about breaking protocol. IF YOU DONT EAT CHUR MEAT YOU CAANT HAVE ANY PUDDING.
