Missing Speed Bumps Found on Roof of OCHS in Apparent Prank

Someone had arranged them on the roof in the shape of the number "12."

It's only January, but some seniors in Oconee County are already apparently pulling pranks.

On Monday, Jan. 16 around 4 p.m., an employee of Oconee County Schools received a text message notifying him that several speed bumps at were missing, according to an incident report at the Sheriff's Office.  The complainant called deputies and went to the school, but when he arrived, a student approached him and said the speed bumps weren't actually missing; they were on the roof.

A deputy drove around the building and saw the speed bumps displayed on the roof of the gym in the shape of the number "12," which is believed to be a prank pulled by seniors from this year's graduating class.

The complainant told the deputy school officials would have the speed bumps removed and conduct and internal investigation to uncover those responsible.

Imagine that! A mockery of a representative calling an issue a mockery! How much of his outrageousRead More salary and benefit package is he willing to give up? And what he calls fact is seriously distorted information. Good leaders don't run and hide from an issue and then blame others for their shortcomings... I realize good leaders are hard to find.... but, why do we continue to tolerate mediocrity? A vacant seat would be just as effective as this congressman... actually, as I think about it, probably more effective.
