What a moron...

http://www.timesnews.net/article/9045481/police-kingsport-man-arrested-for-lining-up-his-students-firing-blank-shots-from-gun

From the link: (purportedly, how he dealt with somehat rowdy students, so I am told)

"An investigation reportedly discovered Dillow "gathered" the attention of the 12 students in his welding class and lined them up near a garage door in the shop.

"He then pulled a 'blank firing handgun,' black in color, from the back waistband of his pants and discharged the weapon between four and ten shots in the direction of the line of the students," states a Wednesday afternoon press release. "The 'report' of the firearm was similar to that of a firearm that fires a projectile, thus placing the students in fear, according to statements. No students were physically injured as a result of the incident."

Pretending to execute his students...I think this dude is gonna be in a little bit of trouble

In my limited experience shop teachers and band directors tended to be unusually grumpy and subject to outbursts of temper. Most likely having nothing to do with the behavior of the students, who were always perfect little angels.

I remember some pretty good pranks in the band room. Shop class was always doing stuff, also.

We lost our band director due to a nervous breakdown. We may have given it to him.

That Dillow guy will have a hefty fine, but I bet he doesn't get any time.

We lost a Spanish teacher due to a nervous breakdown. To be honest, if you cry in front of a bunch of high school kids, and run outside while calling them all a "bunch of big jerks" any expectation of respect is just unrealistic at that point.
