Brawl breaks out at Ohio kindergarten graduation
Source: AP
CLEVELAND (AP) -- A brawl that started over spilled punch at a kindergarten graduation ceremony Friday resulted in the arrest of eight people, authorities said. Police were called when one participant pulled out a pipe and another a hammer.
Two teenage girls apparently started hitting each other at Michael R. White Elementary School, and their families joined in, Cleveland police Cmdr. Wayne Drummond said. The fight involved adults and minors, he said.
"You had adults fighting adults, juvies fighting juvies, and so forth," he said as parents streamed into the building to pick up their children. "You just had a melee here."

Chorus 1:
Church League, Softball, Fist Fight
Gettin washed in the blood on a Tuesday night
What would Jesus do, lord he wouldnt do that
Knock hell outta the preacher with a softball bat
Well the swinging Sheppards from the Sheep of the Savoir
were tied with the sourwood church of Christ
An example of some highly unholy behavior
in a game that had already been protested twice
Something unbiblical must have been said
for them to be aimin heat at the minister's head
Clockin the clergy aint the thing to do
But neithers the high hard one on the 0-2
Chorus 2:
Church League, Softball, Fist Fight
A body layin on the hands neath the left field lights
Knockin out four teeth, gettin a busted lip
Aint exactly my idea of Christian Fellership
Church League, Softball, Fist Fight
Rollin round the pitchers mound it just dont look right
where the nice people from the church and the Sunday school class
To trade a cup of brotherhood for a can of whoop-ass

Never thought it would happen at a kindergarten graduation ceremony.

No. That doesn't have the panoche required. Needs more gun.

I want to see a kindergarten defenestration reality TV series. You know, like John Wayne throwing the bad guy through the Saloon window. It ought to be a regular on TLC, formerly called "The Learning Channel", now only in the most Orwellian sense.

Nobody passes up an excuse to take cute pictures of small children.
