LOUD MOM GETS ARRESTED AT GRADUATION....C'MON!

I've heard of some pretty ridiculous things to be arrested for, but this might take the cake! Oh, and speaking of being arrested, I just read that Governor Cuomo is about to pass a law where you're allowed to have a maximum of a dime bag (25 grams) of marijuana on you without getting arrested for possession. His main focus will be for those carrying, not to smoke it in public. Um, no problem? Anyway, back to the story at hand! Apparently, a South Carolina mom, Shannon Cooper, was arrested on Saturday night during her daughter's high school graduation for, get this, disorderly conduct! It turns out; Cooper was accused of whooping so loudly during the ceremony, out of excitement, obviously, that the police officers felt the need to take her in. Are you kidding me?

I've heard of beach balls and bullhorns getting banned from these ceremonies, but now parents? Really? Graduation is a time of joy and excitement for both parents and student! If a parent wants to be overzealous, let them! They put up with just as much as the student has! In fact, they will have to put up with more even after, so let them gave their time! No need to arrest a parent for cheering on their kid. This is unbelievable!

Cooper said that she didn't act any differently than any other families when their children's names were called during the South Florence High School ceremony. Her daughter, Lesha, said that she didn't even realize her mother was being arrested until her friends told her about it. Police allegedly warned parents that screaming would result in expulsion from the Florence Civic Center. Those who became disorderly as they were shown the exit were also arrested and that Cooper was not the only one. Cooper and company were detained for several hours before posting a $225 bond. That is just absurd! How can they ruin a poor girl's graduation day like this? 

In a related story, an Ohio high school student didn't get jail time, but he received community service! Supposedly, the family of Mount Healthy Junior/Senior High School student, Anthony Cornist, gave him such a rowdy reception that school officials denied him his diploma and told him that he had to perform 20 hours of community service before he can graduate! WHAT?? He didn't even do anything! Why did he get punished? Apparently, the school is allowing Cornist to split the community service with his family, but his mother said in a recent statement that the punishment was "ludicrous" and none of them would be doing it! Good! That's because no one here, in either of these stories, did anything wrong! Someone get these people a lawyer! I smell some money here! Besides, what could possibly be next? Getting arrested for waving at your child on stage during graduation? This is absolutely ridiculous!
