Sweet Home Alabama

The homemade weapons featured here were confiscated from students enrolled in middle and high schools in the Huntsville City School district of Northern Alabama. They were chosen from among a huge collection of weapons kept by the Huntsville Campus Security Supervisor, Jami Holt. Holt calls the collection her “box of goodies.” She said, “I’ve been employed here for 23 years and I am happy to report that we have come a long way to make our schools safer.”

Geez Louise, what were they before, like, riding around in armored tanks that shot flames out of their wheels and had nails poking out of them everywhere and dogs with fangs would suck your blood while you were in the little boys’ room?
