AUDIO: GIRL BRINGS KNIFE TO SCHOOL IN CASE OF CLOWNS
Police in Athens, Georgia, say an 11-year-old girl who took a knife to school told officers she needed the weapon to fend off clowns. The girl was arrested Friday at Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School amid reports and social media posts about clowns frightening children in Georgia and other states. The girl said she needed the knife to protect her and her family because she had heard the stories about clowns jumping out of the woods and attacking children. Police say they released the girl to her mother on a charge of possession of a weapon on school grounds. Police have investigated dozens of reported clown sightings, and so far have not found any evidence of actual clowns.
* No evidence at all? Not even suspicious balloon animals?
* The entire state is on Red-nose Alert.
* The kid was given an A for the day – an A for anxiety.
* These must be difficult days for Ronald McDonald.
* Ronald McDonald’s not dangerous – but his food is.
* It sounds like when it comes to protecting her family, this girl is not clowning around.
* A knife doesn’t seem like the right weapon against a clown. How about a pepper spray can loaded with makeup remover?
* So who is the biggest threat we face right now: ISIS or the clowns?
* Speaking of clown sightings, how’s the presidential campaign going?
