Jim Anderson (a CHS teacher) over at decrobilia has all the details:

Students came into class, breathless with excitement.

"A guy in a dress was in front of the school, waving a Taser around," one said.

"He was wearing a trench coat," another chimed in, "with purple gloves and pink shoes."

"They were red boots," said another.

"No, pink rubber boots," a fourth said.

"He was casting some kind of magic spell over us," said another.

The police eventually caught up with the guy, who apparently gave up pretty quickly, but this incident is giving me trouble because of the assailant's posts (now unpublished) here at Olyblog and a couple other places.

According to this blog post, from what I can tell, on the guy's blog, he was pissed off at any number of things, including Capitol students.

Apparently, this is the same guy that left several threatening posts here last night. Another docent took the posts down soon after they went up, but the contents are pretty troubling given the incident this morning. For the curious, they're still available over on the guy's other blog.

Just a couple of thoughts:

1. This morning at CHS could have been much worse.

2. I let a few people know what I saw on the unpublished posts and at the other two blogs, one of whom is a police officer, but I feel now I could have done more. Even though I didn't notice the posts until well after the incident, I was still reacting too slowly. The posts indicated imminent violence, and I was slow.
