Talk Shit Get Hit
24 Nov
The following the installment in moments from the dean’s office took place on Friday after I had been alerted that a seventh grade student had flashed a shiny object wrapped around his fingers at another student between first and second periods.
CajunVegan: Do you have anything in your possession that you are not supposed to have at school?
Kiss My Brass: (As he reaches for his pocket) Do you mean the weapon?
CV: Put your hands on the desk NOW!
KMB: Oh, Meese, but it’s not a gun or a knife. I put that on mi abuela.
CV: What do you have?
KMB: Brass knuckles
CV: Okay, go ahead and take them out and hand them over to me.
KMB: (Complies) You gonna call 5-0?
CV: Yes. I have to. It’s …
KMB: … on the expulsion poster. I’m fucked, huh?
CV: You might say that. Why do you have them at school? Is there anything I need to know?
KMB: I’m gonna get jumped after school by XYZ Gang.
CV: Why? Are you getting jumped in?
KMB: No, Meese. I ain’t in no gang, but my homies are. You know, talk shit get hit. Cholo called my mom a puta.
CV: Si, it makes complete sense now.
On a side note, it is a three-day work week. Have a great Monday and don’t forget to visit the blogs mentioned yesterday and leave comment love for the holilday contest:
Good God. ::sigh::
Seriously, you HAVE to move away from there.
Come back to the South where the worst problem is catching kids with beer or chewing tobacco in the school parking lot.
Unfortunately you can’t move away from that crap, it is spreading everywhere
Seeing same stuff here in SW Florida and it’s rampant in SE Florida.
My dad was a principal of an inner city school in Mississippi. It was happening then in 1969. Sad, that schools cannot be the safe havens they should be.
Your place of employment is never dull, is it cv?
That is insane.. truly! At least your job provides great blog fodder. I’m so glad you get a few days off to relax this week!
Oh my… I’m not sure what I’m more shocked by – that he thought it was okay to bring them to school or was stupid enough to think that brass knuckles would protect him against an entire gang.
Either way I’m glad PHB was on the job!
Oy.
Thank God it’s a three day work week! I will have bottles of wine waiting for you on Thursday!
XOXOXO
The gang mentality totally sucks.
Oh boy, glad I’m still in with the 4 and 5 year olds at least it hasn’t hit there yet!
hope dude’s alright.
gangs are sad. one documentary i watched, this like 30ish dude was all takin’ about how bad-ass he was and all the things he’s done and how feared he was… interview ended showing him riding off on his bicycle…
that’s no man.
That’s some serious shit. How sad for the kids. How stressful for you. ((hugs))
Sad
First, that anyone has to deal with that shit.
Second, that he seems like a polite kid, at least, which is better than most nowadays.
Third that he needed to protect himself from a jumping.
Fourth that it was over something STUPID.
Jeezman.
My Word, woman! Do you go to work in body armor?
I’m glad I don’t have your job.
That’s the just way it is today.
Last year, we had five drive-by shootings in my neighborhood–two fatalities. Some local gangbangers were released from prison and decided to settle a few scores. It was the typical black on brown crap that has been going on around here for as long as anybody can remember. The crazy thing is that my current locale is SAFER than the burg I lived in before I moved. At least I can go to the 7/11 around here without arming myself.
I feel sorry for the kid.
Okay, that just breaks my heart… and even sadder, we have the same shit going on here.
I don’t envy you your job… and have volumes of respect for you in making a difference in those kids lives. You rock!
