Prom Chaperones Sprayed Lysol On Dirty Dancers

Two parent chaperones at a Colorado high school prom sprayed Lysol on students engaged in “dirty dancing” and called several teenage girls “sluts and whores” for making it appear “they were advertising butt sex,” according to cops......

Officer Scott Stone, who was working a security detail at the prom, told investigators that he had spoken with Farmer and Rockey after arriving at the dance around 8 PM. He recalled that the chaperones--who were dressed in combat boots, military fatigues, and military undershirt--noted that “some of the kids were becoming disruptive and were being explicit while dancing.”


As detailed by police, several teenagers told officers that the chaperones subsequently deployed the Lysol, which got into the eyes and mouths of some dancers (some of whom had to leave the prom). A female student reported the spraying to police, saying that Farmer and Rockey said that some dancers “were advertising butt sex.” The chaperones, the girl told cops, referred to her and her friends as “sluts and whores” and “dirty.”


As for the spraying, the teenager reported that “Hannah Rockey then proceeded to spray Lysol at them, which got on their clothing, mouth, and eyes. The spray caused the students to cough and leave the area.” After hearing the girl’s account, a cop “obtained several witness statements” supporting the allegations against Farmer and Rockey.

I hope these women get some jail time for this. Could you imagine being the children of these two cretins?

But boys will be boys. I can't imagine a school where the chaperones are allowed to come dressed in quasi military fatigues,you would think that would be their first clue that "this may not end well".

There's no explanation for why they were not charged with first-degree assault---spraying a chemical on someone should merit that charge.

Edited to add--apparently one of them is a kindergarten teacher.....and one is a former school board member.

How does one "advertise" butt sex?

Is it like a hot dog vendor at a ball game? "BUTTSEX! GETCHA BUTTSEX RIGHT HERE! HOT FRESH BUTTSEX!"

...but those were students, not nutcase parents.

I do hope someone presses charges. And not that it matters in the face of this kitchen-grade chemical attack, but I wonder just how "dirty" the dancing actually was. I'm not inclined to trust the judgment of these two, since it seems they're all about the judging.

How can anybody be bad at sex? I mean, really. They make an art form of bad sex. Since they know so damn much about what everybody else is doing, what was the matter? They ran out of time to take notes?

Fear is a powerfully pervasive emotion. Studies of various kinds of brain damage or injury often show that of all of the brain's functions fear is the absolute last one to go, which suggests that it is the widest and most hard-wired, so if fearful types aren't actually impotent, their fear can very likely affect other functions, many, many of which can have a lot to do with the quantity and quality of sex.

This is typical right wing talk, they are focused on that one area of the body, really. Why the think their gutter language is appropriate in any venue, I can't imagine. The kindergarten teacher's class needs to be interviewed to see what the hell is going on there with young kids. No way I'd want my kid exposed to these potty mouths.

Chaperones dressed in military garb with combat boots? That's a scream!

If the "dancing" was like some of the video I've seen, it's pretty slutty. I actually laughed when I saw it (thinking I probably would have done the same thing if it had been tolerated when I was a teenager), but my wife yelled at me saying it was disgusting.

The lysol was wrong because someone could have gotten hurt, but I do think the chaperones should have done something - perhaps a good, swift kick in the ass.

Excuse me? You don't like how someone is dancing? Well, look away biotch!

What gives these freaks the right to spray someone with Lysol?! How arrogant
can human beings be?

I really hope that these women are sued in civil court. The parents would win. There
is no way to justify or explain what they have done. You can't just go around spraying
people with chemicals, when you don't like what they are doing.

As far as I'm concerned, these women are worthless weeds. Does that mean I can
douse them in Glyphosate?

Sue them...sue them big time. Let these idiots know that just because they disapprove
of something, that doesn't mean that their precious opinions are special enough to
allow them to hurt people. Idiots!!
