Graduating Senior Arrested, Handcuffed at Commencement for Flipping the Bird


FAIL

haha, loser.

Well, what do you expect from an Arab police force?

Srsly, is an arrest really the best way to handle it?

That's A-Rab, Alabama, boy!

SC is no better. They arrested 7 people in the audience of graduation for cheering when the names were called out

I know. Awesome.

Wow - that is seriously impressive. I call fail on everybody involved - the principal, the student and the arresting officers. I mean, what are you going to do when somebody gives a tirade like that, but arresting him in front of everybody and his family is a little far...

Criminal record for "disrupting" a ceremony. sheesh. The guy's obviously a d-bag but that's a retarded response to the situation.

If you manage to get arrested at your high school graduation


You might be a Redneck!

Alot easier than arresting pedophiles or gang banger drug dealers

I'd actually prefer the other kids just beat the **** out of him for being such A d-bag. That way he learns a lesson and nothing serious comes of it.

He looks like he might have had his ass kicked before...

The restrictions on graduating ceremonies have gotten a bit ridiculous in the last few years. (Maybe it's always been that way, but I graduated in a class of 12, so we were allowed to toss our caps and have people clap). I would think that as a student you should be allowed some form of expression after spending the last 13 years in school, and as a parent/friend you shouldn't be sent to jail because you are proud of someone.

He needs to get the hell out of that po-dunk little town and get on with his life. Compared to the opportunities and challenges he'll face as an adult what happens in High School is insignificant. I just hope this little episode doesn't create a paper-trail that holds him back.
