Gangbanging with a Twist
Berkeley High School has a terrible reputation, especially when it comes to crime and safety issues, so I didn't think there would be anything of interest in a Daily Cal newsbrief headlined, "Student Arrested for Loaded Gun in Backpack".

I'm not sure if this is odd or not, but the student in question is a female. I guess all of the equality for women and feminism stuff has made gun-toting females less extraordinary, although the reaction of the school seems a little underwhelming: "Berkeley Unified School District spokesperson Mark Coplan said the student may be expelled." Back when I was in high school, they were suspending kids for taking Tylenol during lunch period, but in Berkeley I guess you can bring a loaded gun to school and not be expelled. Maybe the lack of punishment is because, "Her father had given her the gun for safekeeping."

I almost feel kind of bad for the girl, both for getting in trouble for having the gun at school, and for having a dad who is apparently unrivaled in the parenting department.
