Batman Sighting Puts Schools on Lockdown
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- To an Arizona middle school, Batman! Three schools in the north Phoenix suburb of Cave Creek were on lockdown for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning after a student at Desert Arroyo Middle School reported seeing a person dressed as Batman run across campus, jump a fence and disappear into the desert, Scottsdale police Sgt. Mark Clark said.
The student described the person as 6 feet 3 inches tall and possibly male.
"We're assuming it was male, although they did have a mask on," Clark said.
Officers combed the desert around the middle school. A nearby elementary school and high school also were on lockdown as officers sought the caped crusader.
The result - no Batman.
"It's just one of those interesting little stories that we looked into but we couldn't find anyone," Clark said.
Nedda Shafir, a spokeswoman for the Cave Creek Unified School District, said putting all the schools on lockdown was a precautionary measure.
"We didn't want to take any chances," Shafir said. "We just don't want to put anyone at risk."

Big deal! While I was riding home from work on the New York City subway, Batman got on the train, sat down, crossed his legs and started reading the NY Times. Not one passenger even blinked!

Kraft!
Maybe he was one of those fathers that was looking to see his kid because of a divorce. There are some that dress up like super heroes and run around to protest and draw attention to their cause.

Mingo & Kiara -
Plus, get serious, Mingo & Kiara. If I put my American thinking cap on (supplied by the Bush party), my guess is he's an illegal flag-burning Arab Muslim pedophile selling Korean nuclear secrets and Afghanistan heroin to school kids. It's so obvious... geez!

You have to fogive Bear. In his senile state he isn't able to watch TV and see that straight people like himself (Bear says he is straight) can pray on young children. If Bear wants to live in fantasy world that only gay people are pedophiles, let him. I am sure the voices that tell him this have also spoken to him in CANADIAN.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.
---------------------------------- The duty of a patriot in this time and place is to ask questions, to demand answers, to understand where our nation is headed and why. If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'
