Principal: Kids trashed school
PCHS principal Mike Maddox reported Friday that 50 to 75 students trashed the school overnight Wednesday in a senior prank gone off the chain.
I offer a proposal- instead of another prank for which you will be negatively remembered - show Pike County and the world the "stuff" of which you are truly made. As a class gift, as a legacy for which this class can be remembered raise the money to not only repair the current auditorium, but demolish it and build a new and better auditorium in its place. Let this tasteless prank that obviously got out of control fade into the dim recesses of forgotten memories where it rightly belongs and do something positive. This class is made of winners, leaders, role-models who CAN make a difference. It is time to step up and SHOW all who would say otherwise what 2012 is truly made of.
2012.....THE YEAR AMERICA AND PIKE TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
back in your day, did the graduating class trash the school as a prank?
It wasn't breaking and entering, because the door was unlocked.
And we all were told that if we stay to clean up and write our names down, we won't be punished. So if we get punished any farther thats messed up, it's called sticking to your word.
Nothing was left over the next day, it looked like new.
So I think all of ya'll need to;
1.Get a sence of humor and realise it's what seniors do, because my daddy said they did, or maybe you're not from Pike in which case you can go back to where ya'll came from because we don't wont you here.
or 2.Stop saying stuff that you know nothing about.
Never, never do that! Get it in writing first!
*sense
*realize
Jesus you sound stupid. And you're supposed to be a senior?! That's pathetic.
"cheif".
Before opening mouth and inserting foot you should probably understand what the situation is. The school system while inside the city limits of Zebulon is under the jurisdictional venue of the Pike County Sheriff's Department. This is by no means any attempt to redirect blame in the law enforcement community, however present that night were several Pike County Deputies including an investigator, myself a City of Zebulon Police officer, the Assistant Principal of the high school, the principal of the high school, the Pike County School system Superintendent, and several parents. Every year the Senior class attempts to out do the previous Senior class in the scope of its Senior pranks. This year went well beyond what could be considered a prank. However, no one was injured, no permanent damage was done to the building, and school opened on time on Thursday morning. Some of those responsible spent the early morning hours cleaning the school so that school would not be interrupted. The reason the school was able to be cleaned by the students prior to the opening of the school day was because of the quick actions of a Pike County Deputy who caught the students in the act and called the city(myself) as back-up. Any decisions to press criminal charges which would follow these students for the rest of their adult lives or the option of taking in house administrative actions against them is solely the choice of the Pike County School System and the law enforcement community. While I understand your frustration in this, blindly striking out with out knowing all the facts and in this case striking out at those you perceive to of wronged the citizens of this county is irresponsible. To be honest if one of your children had been involved in a "Senior Prank" and had been criminally charged I am sure that you would probably have some thing to say about that too. Please understand that these students are being held responsible for their actions and that charges can still be filed at a later date if necessary. Once again this will be the decision of the Pike County School system and the Sheriff's Department.By the way Chief Ledbetter is doing a excellent job for the City of Zebulon.
I don't think making statements like that shows any lessons have been learned, or the only reason they didn't go to jail was because there was too many of them and the jail would not hold us all anyway.
Why is there a need to have a senior prank anyway, and why are the kids on school grounds when school is not in session?
"YOU LIE!"
Quoting Mayhem:
"Because I hate cops."
MAYHEM, YOU LIE! You don't hate cops and meekly kiss their a**!
Somebody forged Mayhem's name.
But you may be right Phil. I might not really hate cops. I have to run by the courthouse and pay my daughters speeding ticket. When I get home I am going to go out in my gazebo, smoke me a blunt with a laced with a little something special, and think about my love for cops. I presently have a Sheriff deputy as a neighbor. You think if I invite him over while I am out there he will make me like cops more?
"Comments like yours demonstrate why Zebulon does'nt need a police force."
I'm really not sure where you are going with this.......you apparently have an issue concerning my department.
"Cops who defend the guilty and then suggest that It's none of the public's concern don't need a job in law enforement."
please re-read post... in no way did I defend the actions of members of the senior class. in fact I stated:
"This year went well beyond what could be considered a prank."
I did however state in my post that there was no-one injured and members of the senior class were made to clean up the aforementioned mess prior to the start of the school day primarily to prevent someone getting injured by slipping on the greasy floors. This was in no way a dismissal of the actions of the members of the class.
"You don't seem to know who you work for and believe me it can change at any time."
I am proud to work for the citizens of Zebulon....As I did with Mr Alcars below, Molena Resident, I invite you to actually post your name here rather than hiding behind a Nom De Plume.
"All I have to say is it wasn't vandalism, because nothing was permanent."
So, if your car is unlocked and I come and borrow it for a period of time, I did not steal your car? Bless you. Many people would have called that theft or vandalism. It would not be breaking and entering because you left the door unlocked for me. You are a kind kid.
I will bring the gas level back to its original amount before I return your car and leave it clean. OK?
I fully intend on bragging about taking your car, especially in the paper, because there is nothing wrong with it. If your Dad complains, just tell him I am a senior..he will understand.
Now for all you stupid people please go and get the earlybird special drink your prune juice and get to bed cause the suns going down.. No taxpayer money was or will be spent and you probably did not even know anything about this til someone told the next day..
This is the work of the Gifted and Honor students. If you are an indication of "the cream of the crop" we have a famine on the way, Honey.
I guess our education system is as pathetic as the corrected scores indicate in Georgia.
is your nickname ben "holier than thou" tact?
yes there are more important things to worry about in the world today. and had these fine students not created such a whirlwind by breaking the law and not being punished, we could move on to the more important things.
You just couldn't resist poking at Sheila to get her riled up and coming after you.
Fools never learn learn. It seemed she had slacked off a bit with her comments. Now you will wake her up. I'll try to deflect some of her forthcoming shots across your brows.
Defend the trashers if you must, make excuses if you must,act stupid if you must. But, suffer in silence and let sleeping tigresses lie. She is always two steps ahead sneaks.
Your question: Were you not once the same age?
That simple query may leave you wide open for one of her acerbic retorts. Shucks, that's an easy question to answer since we were old school mates since grammar school. I'm sure that sweet lady will inform you that she may have at one time been chronologically the same age as those unrepentent preening pranksters, but, psychologically speaking, she was never a braindead teenager bent on trashing her school. Sweet-Sixteen Sheila was super intelligent at that young age and so mentally advanced as a high schooler, she could have applied for Social Security if the only qualifier had been based on knowledge and mental maturity instead of age. Heck, Sheila would probably been eligible for Medicare as far back as 1966 if it had not been part of Social Security.
I hope this helps you in your mission as an antagonist.

Let me put this out there for you in the new modern language of our modern day kids. KMA,DA. If you are not one of the parents of these delinquents, then you are just another member of the "they did nothing wrong...let it slide" group." No, my moral compass will not lead me to the promised land, nor will it win me any public elections.BECAUSE we (basically) have no morals in America anymore.
Because of low class thinkers such as yourself. LOOK AT YOURSELF.........on a blog in which juvenile delinquents brag about trashing their tax-paid high school....in which some of the parents publicly condone the act...and your DA is worried about my moral compass. No, Benji Baby..I did not trash other people's possessions except on one occasion of Halloween and believe me....I never done it again. Even at my young age I was ashamed after the fact, not bragging about it.
You are a huge part of the problem. I have often wondered what happened to cause irresponsible attitude in the kids of today besides having idiot parents, thanks for bringing your stupid self into the spotlight.
This forum is not a tool to teach, you dummy. This forum is a compilation of opinions. The tool to teach is the tax paid school. Can you say "school?" It is that building and teachers for which I involuntary contribute many tax dollars so that children, both delinquent and deserving, can attend.
You are a pitiful excuse for children to witness as an example of taking responsibility.
Now.......off you go........and stay there.
Webster's definition and the Official Code of Georgia's definition are often different.
Maybe you should do some reading before you accuse others of ignorance.
Using Websters and OCGA 16-7-21, brings me to a conclusion that the jackass 2012 Seniors are VANDALS who TRESPASSED with CRIMINAL intent and performed UNLAWFUL acts to the detriment of people and property without any consequences.
Not that I'm that technical of a person and I don't really care what people call it. However, people shouldn't be so quick to blast another person, especially when they really don't know what they're talking about.
The saddest part of this entire episode is reading the comments posted by seniors.
I hope they speak better than they write. There is no valedictorian material in this group. In fact, most should be repeating their senior year. Perhaps they saved a little vaseline and baby oil.
what the heck were you sleep walking or you accidentally thrashed the school? your statement makes no sense. mature? yeah right. not with a stupid statement like that. if yall didn't get caught the mess would have been the schools burden to clean up. just because you were stupid enough to get caught and forced to clean up the mess you want to put a whole new spin on what happened. anyone with half a brain including the prosecutor needs to figure how things would have played out if you all got away with it. if pike county is stupid enough to let this slide at least you will learn a valuable lesson. don't get caught on your next prank and the tax payers will clean up the mess you left behind.
seriously? you should be studying for your g.e.d
BTW: Animal House was a lame movie just like your response.
What we did was miniscule compared to the adults of this community
I offer a proposal - instead of another prank for which you will be negatively remembered - show Pike County and the world the "stuff" of which you are truly made. As a class gift, as a legacy for which this class can be remembered raise the money to not only repair the current auditorium, but demolish it and build a new and better auditorium in its place.

And a couple words of advice to you kids:
1. Just because a door is not locked, that is not an invitation for you to enter that building. Criminal trespass is a crime, even if the door is standing wide open if you have not been invited to go through it.
2. Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense in court. More than one of you posted here that you were not aware that your actions were illegal. That is a childish excuse that won't stand once you all turn 18 years old in the next year.
That being said..I don't see why the school couldn't give the janitor a week off and let those kids clean the school. Let them see how it is to be punished beyond just cleaning up what they intentionally messed up.
The trashing of a school is shameful! Did these idiots learn this behavior at home?
They have no respect for their classmates, teachers, parents, themselves or the community!
I have a solution to curb their egregious behavior. I suggest a thug swap be initiated with Crim High School in the Atlanta area. That fine inner city institution has a firm hold on the position of being 397 out of 399 in the worst High School rankings in Georgia. The Crim students and faculty are toiling extremely hard to reach the lofty number one ranking as the worst school. That magic 399 is in their sights. Crim High has an abundance of real thugs available to come down and enlighten the wannabe thugs at rural PCHS. The students who trashed PCHS can be be swapped for an equal number of "plain ordinary" Crim High students for a period of three months. This way the disadvantaged Crim High students can teach the remaining rural clod-hoppers at PCHS how to really act up in the future.
As a result, the PCHS "trashers" will be attending a school where real street thuggery degrees are earned with on the job training to benefit them in their future criminal endeavors.
A side note FYI:
Former principal Andre Lescot Williams is out of jail now and is possibly available as a texting tutor to the rookies from PCHS. Look 'em up!~

Fox News is reporting homegrown terrorist cells are silently being formed in our rural communities and in our over crowded prisons. Small criminal acts lead to larger criminal acts. You know, it's like little kids who tortue small animals grow up to be adult murderers. Seemingly innocent terroristic acts perpetrated on rural high school facilities can possibly lead to acts against government buildings and society in general if the initial thrill seeking threshold wasn't reached with a school trashing. One thing leads to another!
If Janet Napolitano @ DHS isn't going to be notified, all the vandalizing students names should be released to Akins Feed and other area farm supply outlets along with all gas stations. This act is necessary so any order for the sale of large quantities of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and diesel fuel can be monitored. Think about it! BOOM!
Everyone needs to remain vigilant for terrorists like like I watched for Japanese and German saboteurs in the early days of WWII. While shopping at Freshway on Friday, I noticed some really shady characters disguised as local po' folks along with some youngsters pretending to be students. I don't think they were students because they didn't have cell phones, spiked hair and spoke intelligently without using a single "you know" and "like" and "ya got that right" in their conversations. They talked a lot about someone named Fas Buk.
After Freshway, I stopped at the Zeb Chevron station to fuel my old Pinto station wagon.
I really kept my eyes on three obviously PCHS BMOC students in a beat up old Chevy pickup. I was ready to call 911 if they had pumped diesel fuel into that bent up 55 gal steel drum rolling around in the truck bed. They only bought chewing tabacky and $5.00 worth of regular and I presumed they would get the diesel fuel later. That $5.00 purchase was enough to get them a mile or so to the parking lots at Ruth's or the school where they could use their Oklahoma Credit Card to secure more gasoline for their ratty jealopy. Watch out for them!
FYI: Just for voting NO on raising the $14.7 T Debt Limit, my honest Tea Party elected politicians were branded TERRORISTS by the oBUMa henchmen. Are these PCHS vandals also terrorists? Do they deserve any less? Any more?

I pray that your momma was spaded after your introduction into the world.
Perhaps you misspoke and instead meant to direct harsh words at ha-ha indicating that you desired his Ma-Ma not to be able to bear any future siblings. That is understandable in hokey ha-ha's case. Maybe if you prayed for ha-ha's Ma-Ma to receive a complete ovariohysterectomy, that would be comparative to a dog being SPAYED thus prohibiting any more litters from a canine Ma-Ma.
If one wants to misspell SPAYED, it would be SPADED. I hope you don't raise your cane at your favorite lil' man, because you always told me to call a SPADE a SPADE.

Lil' Moses
Did I tell you about last Thanksgiving? Moses was talking so ugly, dam this and dam that, he just refused to stop. I threw him in the freezer for about 10 minutes. I took him out and he said, "It wasn't so bad, my dam feathers kept me warm." I pulled out about half the feathers on his head and threw him back in for 10 more minutes. Upon removal, he said, "Dam, it is a little chilly, but nothing Moses can't handle." So, I pulled out his feathers until he was completely bald and tossed him in the freezer again. I opened the freezer again. He slowly raised his old featherless head as I asked, "Do you have any comments to make now?" He looked over toward my Thanksgiving turkey and said, "No Ma'am, but I do have a question. What did that dam turkey say?"
That is when I gave Moses to you. How is my sweet bird doing?
BTW: it's spelt damn. You are just as bad as the seniors you claim can't spell.
now he is a registered farm offender. terrible.
It's done, punishment has been given, NOW GET OVER IT you can't change it.
Ignorance breeds ignorance. Congratulations.
~ Reply to Zebulon Police Officer Keith Rader ~
Officer Rader, you have served upon the readers of this fine newspaper a large and chewy chunk of tripe to swallow! It is rather difficult to ruminate your comment and at the same time digest its true meaning without suffering severe gastrointestinal disturbance.
Your responsibility as a responding police officer who is not in charge of the scene is to observe and make an incident report. Are you the Public Information Officer for the Zebulon Police Department publishing an official position on the dastardly deeds of the miscreant school trashers? If you are not the PIO, your observations as an officer on the scene should have been kept in your written report and not carried over to this comment section where you display favoritism toward your pals and their children. From your own stated count, there were at least a dozen adults present including the PCS Superintendent, PCHS Principal, police officers and several parents. Were some of the student trashers related to the school officials and police or YOU? Is this a cover up? Your comment and lack of real action by school administrators by sweeping the incident under the rug smacks of the Pike County "good old boys network". Chastising local citizen Donna while you continue to act under the guise of authority is w-a-a-aay out of line. Who put whose foot in their mouth? I vote YOU!
You wrote: "Every year the Senior class attempts to out do the previous Senior class in the scope of its Senior pranks. This year went well beyond what could be considered a prank."
BFD! Your benign dismissal of the 2012 Class "pranks" and acceptance of future Senior Class "pranks" leaves me scratching my old bald head. Are we to expect an escalation of the seriousness of future Senior Classes?
Let's see, Class of 2013 can break out all the school windows and pour used motor oil on the gym floor, Class 2014 can rip out the copper wiring, steal the school computers and sell all of it in order to fund a graduating class beer bash. In keeping with the "escalating prank" scenario, the Class of 2015 will really have to perform in order to maintain the Senior Class "prank" tradition. Maybe they can start out with some well fueled "prank fires" and burn down the school in their celebratory exuberance. The Pike Volunteer Firemen doesn't have the training and assets to stop a fire of that magnitude and flames could spread to nearby properties causing a major disaster just because the Senior Class Of 2015 were carrying on an accepted school tradition. Who knows what the Class of 2020 will do!
As highly decorated police officer Barney Fife has eloquently stated so many times at the first sign of youngsters going wrong, "we got to nip it in the bud, nip it, nip it, nip it".That's right!
I agree, I look forward to a statement from the Pike County School Superintendent whereas ALL future Senior Class crimes known as "pranks" are banned under the penalty of immediate expulsion from classes with no graduation. Extreme measure? No way!
As Moochelle oBUMa sez, "the future of our chillren are at steak".
Rader writes: "By the way Chief Ledbetter is doing a excellent job for the City of Zebulon."
Hmmpf! You are not as savvy as Officer Barney Fife. In your attempt to rack up some "brownie points" with Ledbetter, how can you see what kind of job the Chief is doing when your facial anatomical protuberance is so acutely juxtapositioned against the chief's posterior?

Rader is a fine officer who serves Zebulon well. As he spreads his wisdom you would rather spread stupidity. Just from comparing posts it is obvious that you do not even have half the brain as Rader.
Why are you bringing my sweet name into this Hall of Horrors? I have been so polite that I have locked myself out of my own computer. You will be relieved to know that I am back on duty. What in the heck happened? I am gone for a few days and all the honor students that have been promoted due to the "no students left behind" policy are celebrating on line. They are truly pitiful in their 'ritings and ramblins' aren't they? I know of one solid way of shutting up Jeff Foxworthy. Have all these honor seniors, who now have their mopping degree, take the test for Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, he will have NO contestants.
Now you behave, "bad city, bad city."
So I guess that the 1st amendment of our beloved U.S. Constitution no longer applies to me since I pinned on a badge. My comments are mine and not representative of my department. I guess in this day of political correctness I have to ensure that I put a disclaimer on everything I post anywhere. At least I had the guts to put my name on my post....
It seems to me that you need to re-read my post Mr Alcars. In no way did I condone the behavior of the class of 2012. What I DID say was that the decision to prosecute or not to prosecute the offenders lay in the hands of the school board along with the PCSO. As a taxpayer in this county I do not always agree with the decisions of the PC school system but in this instance I do happen to agree with them as long as this behavior will be addressed and prevented in the future, and as long as the offenders have some repercussions for their actions either academically, at home, or both.
By the way Mr Alcars; you are as guilty of supposition as was "Donna". She assumed that the jurisdictional responsibility of the school system lay with the city when in fact it was with the county. You sir assume that
1:I am "pals" with all of the people at the school ...all the students parents, etc.
2:I have children or relatives that were involved in the incident.
3: that there will be no further action on the part of the school system or PCSO in relation to this incident.
You would be wrong on the first two counts and I have no knowledge of the third.
You have accused me of feeding the readers of the Journal Reporter tripe. Please read your post which is full of the future exploits of classes yet to be. Perhaps you should change your moniker to "The Ghost of PCHS Future" since you seem to know everything that will transpire in the years to come.
My dear Mr Alcars, Anyone that knows me knows that I will remain loyal to my employer as long as they earn that loyalty... and I will criticize them when they are in the wrong. This includes my chain of command and in no way should be construed as "brown nosing". I will defend my fellow officers against unwarranted accusations regardless of rank. I stand by my statement sir. The chief is doing an excellent job and should not be attacked with baseless allegations.
I am not the PIO for my department nor do I consider this a press release. This is a blog, a forum if you will, for the comments of the citizens of this county. I am a citizen of Pike sir, and as such have every right to post here. You applauded Mr Geiger for his courage at the opening of your post sir. How about lets pull oneself up by the bootstraps and put a name with your post. I did.
Finally sir, I may not agree with your comments, but I shall respect your right to have and share them.
Sincerely,
Keith Rader
The ticket cost me only $8.00 since the fat a$$ cop only estimated my speed.
We didn't have electronic speed detecting devices like RADAR back in the day.
RADAR!...RADER!..hmmm...OMG! 'Rader on Radar'! I'm toast. He has so many hiding places in town to nab speeders. Maybe if I have the beautiful blue paint job on my Pinto changed to a subtle day- glow orange or bright canary yellow, he won't notice me and I will be able to creep through Zeb without 'Rader on Radar' even noticing me.
I've never had a driver's license or car registration, so at least he doesn't have my physical description. There isn't any tag info on file because I've used the same 30 day car dealer tag for the past 16 years. Eagle eyed Officer Larry Campbell stopped me a couple of years ago, but, I lucked out as that fine officer received an emergency call as he slowly waddled up to my car. He told me to go and he roared away burning rubber with his cruiser lights flashing and the siren wailing. I was lucky that day because Campbell is a smart cop and would have "run me in".
This unfortunate incident with our local constabulary started because I commented using satirical musings coupled with futuristic hypotheticals regarding the school vandals. An exception was taken by Officer Rader and I believe he is bent on tracking me down.
I'm skeered! Really skeered! I'm too old to be looking over my shoulder anticipating a bust by Officer Rader. I promise to taper off on my local comments and stay off the roads for two days...no, make that two weeks if Rader will lay off me. OK? OK? Deal?
Oh, Keith, can I call you Keith since you are writing as a plain United States Constitution loving citizen like me? Anyway, Keith, I use my real name. I know, I know, you are trying to "run" me through all your LE databases with no hits. I suppose it's because I have no official documents or property records to prove I am really Call N. Alcars. You will have to be satisfied with my name, Call. Give Google a try and you might read some of my older satirical commentaries and sniff me out. I do use a pseudonym when I comment on HuffPo and NYT.

Oh! can I use Sheila Tolley as a reference? Everyone knows that local shining star and she always speaks very highly of me and my very lovely wife Sueme.
It has been good chatting with you Keith, but, I have to go and start sanding down the Pinto to prep it for primer and paint even though I may avoid Zebulon altogether. As they say on one of the old TV Land shows, "wagons ho". Wait! Wait! I got that wrong, that was Major Adams out on the prairie somewhere in Nebraska. I believe it was the program where ugly old Sgt. Phil Esterhaus told his police squad, "Let's be careful out there."

I told you all this cocky bastard is larger than life. He just declared the city of Zebulon his. He can have his fair city. It's just a small part of my unfair world.
Sure people, post your real name so Rader knows who you are when he is deciding if he should take you to jail for something you MIGHT have done in a drunken stupor. Or some other confusion you might have had about how free America really is.
Zebulon P.D. is a trip. I used to have an officer of the Z.P.D. living across the road from me. It made me paranoid until I found out he smoked more weed than I did. He is no longer on the force or across the street.
I choose myself to remain anonymous. I don't know if its your car modified to transport people you decide should be in a cage, that you carry a gun, or that you stand about 6 foot 5. But I definitely would not want to have any confrontation with you. I know Sheila Tolley is holding back with her smart ass comments because she knows she is "over the limit" quite often when she sails through Zebulon.
As a resident of Zebulon I have been honored to have you in my living room and have also had the pleasure of some small talk on the side of the road. Heck now that I think about it I have had the honor of you drawing your gun on me! True sh@t. Hey if society ever changes its mind and lets me carry a firearm I will start using my real name. This way I can be a tough guy too. Until then you can just go on with your cocky self.
So in your mind if Rader comes after you you are automaticaly guilty. Funny. Most would ask for an investigation and a trial to determine that. If your uncle is as bright as you I can see why he is in the big house.
Go back to shooting holes in paper.

As a parent of a recent graduate "Class of 2011" I am appalled by the sheer stupidity of the students. Also, I am disgusted by the comments and actions of the parents, BOE, superintendant, and principal(s). Actually, last year I told my son not to participate in any type of prank regardless, just for this reason. I applaud any senior that didn't participate in this act of foolishness and hope it doesn't have any negative impact on your senior year.
The actions or lack of by the BOE is no different that the APS cheating scandal. That is, failing to act accordingly when a problem exist. This will come back to haunt you all somewhere-sometime.

One thing the kids should know. If you are with a friend and he pulls out a gun and shoots someone, you to can be charged in the shooting. The same for bank robbery. All you have to do is be there when the crime is commited. Think about that.

To Mr. Mayhem:
My apologies to you sir! I had previously discounted your numerous postings as being non-sensical and grossly incoherent because of substance abuse related to your unfortunate accident. I now see you in a different light! You seemed to have made a full recovery and elevated yourself to an intelligent kindred spirit as indicated by your well written #47.2.4 comment. You have always recognized my satirical posts as being borderline amusing and have not taken them to task as Ossifer Rader. Your descriptive accounts pertaining to your interactions with the Zeb PD was awesome! It was like I had witnessed the roustings in person. Was that you on that old episode of COPS last week sitting in the cage of a ZPD cruiser screaming, "what I do"? ..."what I do"? ...oops! sorry Mayhem, I lost my place for a moment. Anyway, your comment was very clear, concise and truthful regarding Officer Rader. I believe you could pass the cop psych test if 'cocky you know who' passed it. As far as you needing a firearm, I can loan you an old cap and ball revolver from the War OF Northern Aggression. You may have to work on it a bit since the firing pin and cylinder have rusted together. It's a start.
Keep up the good work Mayhem and remain anonymous while confusing the locals! Bye!
Seniors @ PCHS:
Your continuation of a long "tradition" of pranks needs to stop for many reasons. Besides the acts of vandalism being juvenile and disruptive, they have cast a bad light upon the elderly in this community. Just this morning, I walked up to Ken's Pharmacy to pick up my Centrum Silver and overheard some youngsters complaining about the Seniors wreaking havoc at the high school. "Seniors will be Seniors and that is to be expected", chimed an obese Oprah look-alike. I was quick to defend the Medicare crowd! "Not all Seniors are that way. Heck, most Seniors my age are in wheel chairs or nursing homes", I bellowed. The crowd looked at me like I was crazy or drunk. I slowly ambled out in a hurry because I had a Greyhound bus to catch. I hope the Seniors straighten themselves out. (meaning the high school seniors.)
Officer Rader:
I will be flying below the Rader Radar for an extended absence until you forget about me. One can only surmise that future comments from you will be proffered as Anonymous or some quasi-macho name since you probably have drawn attention to the Zeb PD and will be urged to cease and desist by "Senior" officers. I hope an audit of the LE databases by the Chief doesn't reveal any searches for Calvin Nathan Alcars, Aka: Call N Alcars
Chief Ledbetter:
You are doing a good job. From what I hear, department morale is great, and all is well with most. Please be aware of abruptly stopping when you are walking to avoid any employee nose inuries. These types of "brownie accidents" are difficult to explain to the Workers Comp folks.
Sheila Tolley: Where are you? Keyboard broken? I'm being set upon. Thought we were pals.
Finally!
Walter Geiger and staff:
Walter, stay healthy! PCJR staff, keep up the GOOD WORK and continue to report ALL Pike County issues while allowing your readership to express themselves on those issues.
See you next year!

Do 2012 Seniors "marking the school" equate to a skunk "marking his territory"?
Are you a PCHS dropout? A new flash-trash mob coming on Facebook. Stay ready!
Your comment smells just as good as my skunky love spray. P---You----!
Keep trying.
I'm personally aware that gasoline is a highly flammable/inflammable liquid that is easily ignitable. A very abusive former ex-boyfriend of mine fell asleep at the wheel of his Chevron gasoline transporter hauling twin tanks. He drove into a bridge abutment doing 70 mph on California Interstate 5 and was burned to a crisp. I grieved and went into a depression for about 5 minutes and immediately got over it. He's better off dead.

It is also disturbing that adults are finding it acceptable to speak to young people in this manner. It does explain why the students are responding in a manner that is embarrassing. I don't see just a lack of respect for authority, I see a lack of respect for mankind.
IF you had raised your child to be the perfect little angel that you claim, he/she would not be in trouble now for vandalizing the school.
IF you had any sense at all, you would have kept quiet, punished your child as he/she should be and went about your business.
Instead, you come here and with a complete LACK of common sense tell us why we should be happy that these sweet little angels cleaned up their own mess.
Why would you allow your child to be on government property when school is not in session?
I hope you only have one little convict.
Weren't you in the pranking class of 1955? Get caught? School officials let you off too?
Happy mopping, not mayhem.
It is no wonder the kids of today do not take responsibility for their actions, look at all the no name bloggers, not mayhem. You all cannot even take responsibility for your opinions. Do you constantly look behind your back as you cast your vote? After all, what if someone finds out who you voted for, the boogy man might get you........now crawl back under the covers.
A tipping point, so to speak. The senior goobers have purchased on credit a criminal incident known as the "seniors prank" . They are now the proud? owners of "dat prank". All their future payments will be collected through life via personal failures if they do not realize life is not a prank and atone for their actions. The government subsidy they received from school officials and law enforcement in the form of a 'wink and nod' will lead to moral bankruptcy.
If the NIH tracked the career paths chosen by these "pranksters" for the next 20 years, statistical analysis would more than likely reveal the majority of them were doomed for failure because they "got away with it" in 2011. If you know the identity of these law breakers, monitor the PCJR Sheriff's Report and check off those familar names as they appear.
Future "pranks" from high school seniors should be banned. Prosecute all who don't comply.

To you seniors: Life is to short so live it up,drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama,take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted. I wish you all the best life has to offer, don't let these individuals stop your shine the god has given you!!!!!!!! God bless you all!
please provide your address so that the next prank can be carried out at your house. let them come over and trash your home. don't worry, some of them will come back and clean it up. you will have to hire a carpet cleaner though, that one they can't clean on their own.
maybe instead of encouraging more lawlessness, you should encourage them to do something positive with their life.
how about a senior gift instead of a senior prank? how about a senior day of volunteering instead of a senior prank? how about teaching them to be productive members of society instead of smart-*&^ punks?
Let me tell you one thing im not encouraging them to do bad im simply letting them know what they done isn't right but atleast they are mature enough to accept the responsibility of their actions and did what needed to be done so it was cleaned up! And I know a great carpet cleaner so again im not worried its all in innocent fun! Let them enjoy their lives.
The funny thing is you and all these so called" PERFECT PEOPLE" Act like you've never done wrong just remember we may not know what you done but god does so in the end you will have to answer to him!!! I think all of you need to realize they were just having some innocent fun they didn't set the field on fire or blow the school up they simply wrote on the walls and put vasoline on some door knobs wooooo hoo big deal!
FYI: Theses students aren't smartbutt punks half of them will graduate with honors and a 4.0 GPA, so I personally think people need to drop the matter and get on with their lives, these seniors are not criminals they are young adults making priceless memories and enjoying the life God has given them!
you can continue to defend the lawless actions of the vandalism that went on or you can swallow your pride and admit that it was wrong. i will do everything in my power to ensure that next year the senior class will understand that criminal activity will be met with the appropriate response.
i don't see how destruction of something that so many people have worked to provide can be considered a "precious memory". it is this warped thinking that continues to signal the end of this precious republic and it's people like you who continue to condone and defend these actions that erode the values that have made this country great.
God doesn't stand there repeatedly shaking his fist at us for messing up he forgives us :) So yes what they did was wrong in a way, but also they were just making their mark like all the other senior classes have gone and done before them. So how can we punish them for something the other senior classes didn't receive punishment for?
These juvenile delinquents are so readily excused by their parents, who are in their late thirties and early forties, because they too were raised without morals and respect.
You are far from my worst nightmare PUNK, my worst nightmare is in The White House.
And you say they didn't accept responsibility well if they didn't then why were they back at the school cleaning it up, yes they might've been addressed by the law enforcement but atleast they were mature enough to clean it up without arguing about it. As I previously stated the youth today are alot more mature then some adults. Especially some of the ones that are on here whining about their precious tax dollars, how about if you want to whine about money whine to the president he's the one that's really rolling you over backwards not the class of 2012; Its the president and congressman who are wasting your precious pennies. Fruitful thought why are we so worried about these precious tax dollars, you can't take your worldly possessions up to heaven so instead of worrying about money and some silly senior prank, how about we get right with god and complain about something worth complaining about!
At Shelia so now we are comparing them to others, first of all who are we to judge?!? God is the judge of all mankind not us see that's what's wrong with this world today, everyone judges before truly getting the facts. These seniors aren't criminals they simply were trying to carryout a tradition, not knowing they'd have the whole county fired up about some silly prank. Sounds to me like the principal is wanting some serious attention, all the previous classes before have carried out their pranks yet not a single fire was started?!?
All I know is everyone needs to stop trashing these seniors, they've learned their lesson and that's all that matters. We seriously have bigger issues to handle like the fact we as a country are bankrupt, and the economy is at a complete downward spiral! So how about we fry those fish!
you have no idea about the world @ 25. oh i know you THINK you do but trust me, you don't.
It is not your fault, so I will forgive you. You were born in 1989 so you have never known a respectable president. Our only decent president was leaving after his second term the year you were born. You are a product of the Daddy Bush-Clinton-Son Bush and (God forbid) obama years. How pitiful. You should be awarded some kind of entitlement for being raised with a brain dead government since birth. Please hold off on having children, they will be born under the star of obama.
Remember, seriously, if you have children now they will be more expensive. They will require two diapers..one on their tiny butt and one on their little muslim terrorist head. Oh I forgot, obama will pay for them with the money he borrows from China. Ain't he sweet to be a terrorist? Rumor has it that he started out young with a little simple senior prank that his ma and pa ignored.
To all the individual throwing rocks at these seniors, you need to take a step back and realize they only get to enjoy being a senior once in their lives. Each of these students worked hard to reach this year and moment in their life, they deserve the right to have a little fun! It has nothing to do with mama and daddy getting them out of it - it has to do with the fact that they accepted RESPONSIBILITY for the mess they made and as a class they came together to clean it all back up. The funny thing is all you parents acting like you never played a silly prank on someone or done something you shouldn't have done, yet its a priceless memory that no one can ever take from you! That's simply what the class of 2012 did they made their mark and then cleaned up! I don't believe these students should be expelled or suspended, I mean what are we suspending them for? Because they had a little fun then went back and cleaned up, in that case its almost like we are spanking them saying no you shouldn't have cleaned up as do we spank our children for doing good in school or making the right decision no we don't we congratulate them and if they did something wrong we address it and as a parent we are to teach our children right from wrong not condemn them. So remember this as you all continue to rant and rave about these seniors making memories". You hypocrite first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers" Matthew 7:5
To you seniors: Life is to short so live it up,drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama,take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted. I wish you all the best life has to offer, don't let these individuals stop your shine the god has given you!!!!!!!! God bless you all!
So were the Doughtery gang from last nights news........just a very few years ago. If these are really children writing on these comments, their parents need to spank their butts. Let them call DFACS, Teen Challenge has some available space.
There are other ways to remember one's senior year without vandalism. I was a senior once and participated in a prank that did no damage to the school but that "priceless memory" is still with me to this day. Seniors will be seniors but 2012 took it a little too far.
Also, nice touch quoting the Bible and then condoning underage drinking in the next sentence. Real classy.
Perhaps they are staying late for mopping class. You would think that a group this sneaky would have been smart enough to pull off a little prank, wouldn't you?
Those are nice creds girl! Your own car at 12 years old! Your own house at 20? Impressive! Did you buy the house or lease it? Are you a Pike County entrepreneur?
With your work ethic and your family backing you all the way, you should have mentioned your parents by name. They deserve some hand clapping recognition. From what I learned from your self appraising post, you must be related to fat bass tard because FBT displays the same feisty attitude you have exhibited with your work ethic comment. It sounds like Ol' FBT to make a lazy kid go out and mow the lawn and pay them a higher salary than mandated by the oBUMa bureaucratic minimum wage scale....uh oh read your comment again.
After further review by the Alcars Instant Comment Replay System, I don't think you are related to fat bass tard. I don't surmise a relative of FBT would display such liberal leanings because of FBT's Egalitarian pride. Your liberalism was exposed when you condoned, defended and excused the unlawful actions of those PCHS 'criminal pranksters'. Also, what enjoyment do you get out of beating up on that grandmotherly Sheila Tolley for expressing her thoughts regarding the "pranksters"? Leave her alone! Squawk! I Wanna cracker!
With your permissive societal attitude, if you do own your home, I believe you will soon be in a foreclosure or evicted if you rent it. You can disappointingly wave "bye-bye" to your old "paid for" jealopy as it's being snatched from your driveway hooked up to a Title Pawn tow truck and hauled away to the their impound lot in Griffin for non payment of a title loan.
BTW: It's far fetched to believe you bought a car at 12 years old! A pink Barbie car?

"flew the coop today and uncle Calvin let me peck out a comment"
Stupid comment number 1. High paying jobs are normally the first ones cut when companies down size. You will probably regret writing this comment in a very short period of time. Karma don't like "cocky."
"The ELITE SENIORS of 2012 that were involoved in the TRADITIONAL SENIOR decorating of the school did not cause any damage to the school and they did not do anything that the past senior classes did not do when they made their mark!!!"
Stupid comment number 2. A typical irresponsible comment from a typical irresponsible parent. Parents who think like you and condone the acts of destruction and violence from their children are the reason the United States has over crowded jails. Irresponsible parents breed irresponsible children who become another set of irresponsible parents.
"Get a life and quit worrying about trivial things that have nothing to do with you!!! DO NOT speak bad of any of my children anymore or you will find yourself in a court of law because I do have the power to find out who made what comments concerning my children on this blog and I will press charges!!!!"
How much more stupid can you get? If your child was among these, your child is a juvenile delinquent.........if you condone the actions, you are an irresponsible parent. You talk big and tough....but too afraid to sign your own name. My name is shown above. I will wait for you to file charges against me. You are such a pitiful excuse for a parent.
The comments from you get progressively more stupid, so, no need repeating them. I would recommend that you take a serious look at your parenting skills, but with the comments from your grown daughter reflecting your pitiful attitude, that ship has long sailed.
i guess it's only when i speak that someone is being disrespectful. never mind your lack of respect for the people of this county who've paid for your little hoodlums escapades.
you can't justify what these children have done and you never will so give it up. calling me rude won't make these children's actions right not matter how many times you do it.
To the people who wont quit writin bout it on here. I left pike high 2010 to go to the military best thing i ever done all most of this "crime" by the seniors is being blowed up into a big ordeal cause of you i will never move back to pike county and its not cause of the school systems we have the best teachers around it because of all the people like most on here who have no life and want to stick their nose in someone elses get a life worry bout your own problems befor you but into someone elses
Let's see, father at 18, can't spell, can't form a coherent sentence, doesn't understand punctuation or sentence case, someone should have stuck their nose in your business a long time ago and taught you something, anything.
Your pal,

You listen up, boy.........these comments are created mostly because of people writing as smart a$$ students or parents of smart a$$ students.
This act of vandalism only turned out negligible in traumatic results BECAUSE the juvenile delinquents were caught in the act. If they had not been caught in the act you could be reading of some real injuries from this little prank.
Please do not brag of being a member of the United States Military with such irresponsible ramblings as you have shown in your blog. Your opinion is a disgrace to all Pre-obama Americans.
Attention: Beetle Bailey.........Take a trip to Bookland and purchase some punctuation. After reading that run on sentence, I am all out of breath.
Now....GET DOWN AND GIVE ME 100 PUSH UPS.

What an exciting story to elicit so many comments! Will there be a prize for #300?
FLASH MOB SENIORS TRASH SCHOOL
It's time to crack down on these Flash Mobs before someone decides to start striking back against them. Then we will hear the moms and dads on TV talking about how good their child was and never did anything wrong. Blah blah blah!
Parents should be ashamed for not knowing where their kids are and what they are doing. When I was a senior we were taught that we should set an example for the younger kids. As far as pranks go I've never heard of anything like what took place in Pike County and my ancestors were some of the first to settle there.
Unless the teacher shows up snockered, leave the person alone. I believe in rehabilitation!
Is this comment #300? Did I win a PCJR subscription? I hope isn't a date with Tolley.
DIPUTS MA I.
Get off the blog with your irresponsible comments and go oil your Mom's floor.
Gaseous Mr. Smith opined: "I wonder if any of you truely (sic) understand what your comments and views look like to the rest of the world."
I will comment and apologize for the other bloggers and shout in out in ALL CAPS!
WE ARE TRULY SORRY FOR THE WHOLE DANG WORLD FINDING OUT HOW THE PIKE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2012 TRASHING VANDALS ARE REALLY LIKE! PLEASE FORGIVE US. WE ARE ASHAMED IF THE LITTLE SCHOOL KIDS IN OUTER MONGOLIA READ OUR COMMENTS! WE ARE SORRY! WE REGRET IT IF THE MUD HUT DWELLERS IN BARACK OBAMA'S BIRTHPLACE OF KENYA READ OUR COMMENTS. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE ARE REALLY SORRY! WE APOLOGIZE IF THE LOST ANCIENT TRIBES IN THE JUNGLES OF BRAZIL WHO HAVE HUGHES HIGH SPEED INTERNET SERVICE AND MAY HAVE READ OUR SEEMINGLY INSENSITIVE, BUT, TRUTHFUL COMMENTS. WE APOLOGIZE! WE APOLOGIZE!
WE APOLOGIZE TO THE WHOLE WORLD WIDE WEB! WE TRULY HOPE THOSE BILLIONS OF INTERNET SURFERS CONTINUE READING THIS FINE LOCAL PUBLICATION IN SPITE OF THEIR BEING EXPOSED TO THE WILD ANTICS OF THE TRASHING CLASS OF 2012. WE ARE SORRY A HUNDRED TIMES OVER!
WE NEED ALL THE WORLD'S ONLINE NEWSPAPER READERS TO CONTINUE VISITING THE PCJR URL SO THE VERIFIED HIT COUNT WILL CONTINUE TO REGISTER HIGHER THAN ONLINE POLECAT VISITS.
It's safe. I've quit shouting now. Thank you. Thank you.

Aren't you intimdated to tussle with Sheila Tolley if a date with her is the Grand Prize?
She scares me and I wouldn't go out with her. I was hoping for a PCJR subscription if I was #300. It's like winning a cashless Mega Millions drawing! Maybe, I can salvage 2nd. place if this comment is #301. Do you have one of those old chastity belt keys? You might need it.
It's over with!
spoons spoons spoons spoons that's all you is, I'll be the fork, light a spliff and smoke
with wiz.
you aren't the law you can't decide what happens to them on here, so stop stressin, honestly no one in the court system goes on here and checks the people's opinion to see what they want. Most of those kids parents are tightly knit with people in law enforcement and in the pike county court system. Nothing to terrible is going to happen with them, get over it. I am, and I pay taxes just like all of you, so uh, yeah folks that's all!
(:
highly doubtful. most of the posts defending these hoodlums actions are the parents.

London (CNN) -- Prime Minister David Cameron blames the riots that shook Britain over the past 10 days on a "slow-motion moral collapse ... in parts of our country," he said Monday, as police arrested a new suspect linked with one of the deadliest incidents in the violence.
Cameron listed problems including "Irresponsibility. Selfishness. Behaving as if your choices have no consequences. Children without fathers. Schools without discipline. Reward without effort. Crime without punishment. Rights without responsibilities. Communities without control," in a speech in his constituency in Oxfordshire.

Have Fun your Senior year but use some common sense !
advice was "RIGHT ON" target.
Does anyone have an update on him? Is he okay?
second, when students trash a community asset (the schools are paid for by the county taxpayers) they have every right to come here and condemn this type of behavior. we are not butting into someone else's business. we are confirming that we don't agree with the actions and that we feel additional punishment is warranted.
finally, when you type on an open forum with such obvious lack of communication skills, you reflect badly on mankind as a whole. it saddens me that someone who spent 12 years in one of the better educational facilities around learned so little. i hope you spend some of your time as a soldier working to improve your education level.
and mom, everyone on here is someone's child. my mother wants you to quit picking on her son.
