There was this time at band camp … [Darleen Click]

Band Geeks Rulez!

QUARTZ HILL, Calif. (AP) — Don’t mess with a marching band girl, especially one armed with a baton. A 17-year-old high school marching band student beat up two assailants who tried to mug her as she walked to school in this high desert community about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, sheriff’s officials said Tuesday.

The girl punched one of the men in the nose, kicked the other in the groin and beat both with her large baton before she ran away on Friday morning, officials said.

“The moral to this story is don’t mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rust.

He said two men approached the girl from behind, grabbed her coat and demanded money. Deputies searched near Quartz Hill High School for the muggers, looking for a man who was holding his bloodied nose and the other limping.

Full disclosure — all my daughters were in band and #3 and #4 were drum majors of their high school band.

    Oh, and at first, I thought she was one-armed. I’m reading stuff like a Reader’s Digest editor today.

    Don’t mess with the girl with the big thighs.

    I denounce myself.

    That is litterally beating the boys off with sticks.

    Seriously though, I am glad that girl is okay.

    Once I’d read the headline but not the body of the post, I immediately concluded Darleen was going to be parodying Obama’s press conference answers………oops.

    So, a family of timecounters, eh?

    I hope the Commiecrats don’t prosecute her for a “hate crime” now.

    I am always cheered by examples of people fighting back and making it count.
