Today's entry is multi-faceted. A group of kids in a local high school has a hit list of people they wanted hit. On that list was Chuck Norris. Now what bothers me most about Chuck Norris is his hairpiece, but I would never put him on a hit list. Apparently these future leaders felt otherwise. They also put some teachers and other kids on the list, which qualifies them for jackass status, but I mean, come on.
Next up are the school officials, who blinded by fear, have instituted a zero-tolerance policy on all hit lists - even those that contain Chuck Norris. I guess every school official in the country qualifies.
But the real jackass in this story is the jackass who got the story to the local news outlet. Seriously? This is news worthy? Or is it fear-mongering to the maximum?
So today's nomination is every news person who pretends a story like this is important while what they're really doing is hoping they'll be lucky enough to have a tragedy like Columbine happen in their own backyard.
