Girl Attacks Classmate With Medieval Weapon
Apr 20, 2007 4:55 pm US/Central
Another Girl Who Intervened Was Hit By Weapon, Called Flail
(CBS) GARY, Ind. A fight at an Indiana high school turned into a
medieval attack when a freshman girl hit another student and tried to
hit a teacher with an uncommon weapon.
As CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot reports, Gary police say the girl still has
not said how she got the medieval weapon, which weighs about six pounds.
The freshman, who has been charged with battery, told police she brought
the weapon to school because she was tired of being picked on.
"She was aiming for my face, said Shanique Ballard, the target of the
attack.
Ballard said she bumped into one of the freshman's friends in the
hallway at Lew Wallace High School, and an argument started. Ballard
said that's when the young girl pulled out a flail a sharp, spiked
metal ball attached to a handle by a chain or short stick and started
swinging.
"She swung it quick but I just jumped back real quick, 'cause it was
long and I had to keep runnin' back, Ballard said. I was running back
as she was comin' to me."
Ballard said her friend's hand got cut when she tried to get between her
and the freshman. She added that the girl also swung the metal club at a
teacher.
Its heavy, and its metal, and its sharp, Detective Sgt. Darlene
Breitenstein said after delivering the girl to the Lake County (Ind.)
Juvenile Justice Center, where she is being held on battery charges.
I took the weapon to the detention center for the judge to see, said
Breitenstein.
"That type of weapon would surprise anyone, said Lt. Samuel Roberts of
the Gary Police Department. It's not the typical weapon that you may
find at a school."
School officials told police a fight broke out in a hallway as students
changed classes at third hour. The freshman told Breitenstein she took
the flail to school because she needed protection.
Charmella Greer of the Gary Community School Corp. said disciplinary
action will be taken.
In a statement, the school's superintendent said the teen entered Lew
Wallace using an unauthorized side door to avoid the main entrance where
metal detectors and cameras are located. The statement does not say why
a security officer is not stationed at that door. The superintendent
also said a teacher was never attacked, she just tried to intervene.
One parent CBS 2 spoke to Friday afternoon said he was surprised too. He
said he was never notified by phone or letter about the attack. He also
says he's concerned the heavy object made it past metal detectors inside
the school.
"Any time something like that happens, you know, I believe all parents
should be contacted, so something needs to be done about it,
definitely, said parent Raymond Spencer.
CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot and the Post Tribune's Lori Caldwell
contributed to this report.

I don't understand how those medieval warriors fought. Not only did they
have to swing those heavy broadswords, axes, maces, lances, etc. around,
but they often did it in a suit of armor. They must have been in great
condition, because I think that after about five minutes of that, I
would be to tired to move.

Girl Attacks Classmate With Medieval Weapon
Denix Morning Star Mace - Double Ball
Even plate armor was unable to withstand the crushing power of the
double Morning Star, whose spiked balls were able to achieve a very
high velocity in a relatively compact weapon. This replica by Denix
is
intended for display or costume wear only, and on no account should
any
attempt be made to use it in the manner of a weapon.
KEY FEATURES:
Authentic styling
Metal and wood construction
For decoration only
MEASUREMENTS:
BLADE LENGTH: 13 1/4"
HANDLE LENGTH: 29 1/2"
WEIGHT: 1lb 15oz
COST: $25
http://www.medievalswordsnmore.com/medieval-display-weapons.shtml
Nasty looking weapon, but a cool site.
A mere toy.
I have seen the "real thing" at Warwick Castle.
They wouldn't let me try it out, though! :(
As have I at Warwick ...before it became a tourist gimmick with those
stupid mannequins. I did manage to pick up a jousting lance ... well,
I "tried" to lift it. lol
I don't understand how those medieval warriors fought. Not only did they
have to swing those heavy broadswords, axes, maces, lances, etc. around,
but they often did it in a suit of armor. They must have been in great
condition, because I think that after about five minutes of that, I
would be to tired to move.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a true documentary on how they
fought.
You mean that they had to carry a couple of coconut shells around with
them as well as all that other stuff?
Sheesh!
Well, we could build this wooden badger.................. ;)

Girl Attacks Classmate With Medieval Weapon
Denix Morning Star Mace - Double Ball
Even plate armor was unable to withstand the crushing power of
the
double Morning Star, whose spiked balls were able to achieve a
very
high velocity in a relatively compact weapon. This replica by
Denix
is
intended for display or costume wear only, and on no account
should
any
attempt be made to use it in the manner of a weapon.
KEY FEATURES:
Authentic styling
Metal and wood construction
For decoration only
MEASUREMENTS:
BLADE LENGTH: 13 1/4"
HANDLE LENGTH: 29 1/2"
WEIGHT: 1lb 15oz
COST: $25
http://www.medievalswordsnmore.com/medieval-display-weapons.shtml
Nasty looking weapon, but a cool site.
A mere toy.
I have seen the "real thing" at Warwick Castle.
They wouldn't let me try it out, though! :(
As have I at Warwick ...before it became a tourist gimmick with
those
stupid mannequins. I did manage to pick up a jousting lance ...
well,
I "tried" to lift it. lol
I don't understand how those medieval warriors fought. Not only did
they
have to swing those heavy broadswords, axes, maces, lances, etc.
around,
but they often did it in a suit of armor. They must have been in
great
condition, because I think that after about five minutes of that, I
would be to tired to move.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a true documentary on how they
fought.
You mean that they had to carry a couple of coconut shells around with
them
as well as all that other stuff?
Sheesh!
Yes.
A lot of so-called medieval scholars are ignorant on that very point.
And using cows as trebuchet ammo was a common occurence.
Isn't that the origin of fast food?
Yes, and the origin of MacDonalds drive-thru service.
Do you want flies with that order?
Wasn't it kind of me to leave you that straight-line?
Very, thanks.
Don't have a cow, man!
You can steak your life on that.

Here is another scholar who shares the opinion.
As well as flinging bovine corpses, they ditched ex-humans, whos
non-existent souls had recently gone to their non-existent loving god
as a result of him lovingly providing them with the very real and
lovely plague.

They say they're "dedicated to the art of hurling".
Don't know about you, but if I've gotta hurl, I've gotta hurl.
There ain't no art to it.
And here's something for your people across the way.
"Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned."

There ain't no art to it.
OK, I will.
And here's something for your people across the way.
"Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned."
"Robert Zimmerman ... Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 & 35"
Hey, you're talking to one of the original Dylan fans. When I was going
to college in New York, I caught him live a few times at clubs in the
Village.
