fresh prince lockdown

adults these days…

AMBRIDGE, Pa. (AP) — Now this is a story all about how a high school student’s life got turned upside down. But it was all just a bad rap.

The teen’s voicemail greeting trigged a lockdown at his Pennsylvania school after a receptionist misheard his rendition of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme song.

While trying to confirm an appointment with 19-year-old Travis Clawson the receptionist thought the message said “shooting people outside of the school.” The line is actually “shooting some b-ball,” a reference to basketball.

The receptionist called 911 and Economy police arrested Clawson a short time later at Ambridge Area High School, but released him once he explained the message.

Acting police Chief James Mann says police acted “appropriately” out of concern for students’ welfare.

Clawson’s family has contacted an attorney.

Receptionist should go to jail.

X…

classic misunderstanding

This is what fear mongering gets you. This and gun control, NDAA, Patriot Act, War on Terror, War on Drugs, TSA…

I can totally see this happening.

At least it wasn’t LA, the police would have shot him on sight.

more guns in school could have prevented this?

Fixed.

Time to ban 80’s hip-hop. Enough is enough. The time to act is BEFORE anything happens.

Why is a 19 year old still in HS?

If it saves just one life…

Because nobody needs to know long division man…

We should ban receptionists. They make horrible dicisions and the job should be outlawed immediately.

How do the cops arrest the kid BEFORE they even review ANY evidence?

Because doughnut?

Seriously though, in a situation like this that is how the police react and will always justify the arrest with protecting our children. They probably tasered and tackled the kid just to be safe.

yes this happened not too far from me…the police in south western PA do at least 2 or 3 funny things each week.

my favorite is still a few years ago they had the SWAT team trying to extract a guy with a gun from a house…they spent a few hours trying to contact him, then fired tear gas into the house…waited a while longer…no response…then the guy walked out the front door of the house across the street…awesome.

Lol

Ban the socialist.

armed guards in schools bro. it’s a no brainer considering the consistent budget surpluses… just take it out of teacher compensation.

:tup:

only if there are less than 7 songs per album.

Damn hoodlums and that rap music…it ain’t nuthin’ but talking and won’t last!
