Yup, two guys hopped the boarder carrying guns today.
So, as is natural, all schools in the area went into lockdown, as if that would protect us from the EVIL Mexicans.
Naturaly I immidiatly leapt to the conclusion that Mexico had declared war on the United States and had sent its entire army to take over the University of Arizona in order to gain the use of its massive astronomy facilities.
On a serious note...
The bit about the two guys is the truth.
Although I have to say, our school is rather stupid in regards to their procedure, apparently some genius came up with the idea that they can lift the lockdown for a few minutes every time the bell rings, as if that will keep everybody calm in the time between classess.
Then, of course, after third period when everybody was going to advisor base they wait until the bell rings and then say 'All students are to report back to their third period class.', when most of them are now in their advisor bases (Homerooms).
The funny thing is, exactly one week ago two 'African American teenagers' jumped the fence of our school, one apparently had a handgun. When the realized they had been seen they immidiatly rejumped in the opposite direction.
Welcome to Tucson, where every wednesday is exciting!
