Pussies. When I was in elementary school in Germany Mrs Johnson would regularly bounce a blackboard eraser off of kid's heads. I never said anything about it because then my dad would ask what I did to deserve it, then he'd beat my ass for it too.
And there's no need to comment that the article used the term 'they' when referring to a single person. I noticed it too. It came from a Nashville news station, what can I say.
