Oh well guess what everyone.  There is nothing like the e-mail I got from my CEO in Virginia the other day at 6:30am asking me if I knew the kid that arrested at the Arab High School graduation ceremony.  He had seen it on FOXNEWS that morning and just to make it even better a few more co-workers and friends from the DC metro area chimed in as well after seeing it on MSNBC.

So read up and vote or discuss your thoughts here if this grad should have been arrested.  Personally I think what he did was disrespectful to the staff and the community as a whole and if he thinks he can act like that in the Navy (it was reported in one article that he had planned to join later this year) he has another thing coming.

Here are a few links to various reports of the incident in the local and national media.

I was at the graduation and while I did not see the incident.  I did hear several students talking about it. 

They asked him several times to remove the baseball cap from under his graduation hat.  They also said 'he hated Arab HS'.  They were also very upset because they felt it made them all look bad when he flipped the bird to everyone.

He surely had no respect for any one in authority even his parents.  Taking a swing at the principal and cussing his parents and authorities was uncalled for and certainly was disorderly.  It could have erupted into a fight with other students.
