Peaceful Protest Gone Wrong

At 12:00 on Tuesday November 14, 2007 students at Strongsville High School staged a walk out, which was part of a planned student protest against the dress code, but, at 8:57 police were called to the scene when this peaceful protest turned violent.
The protest’s leader, Lynda McDunah a senior at Strongsville High School, stated that this walk out was just meant to get our point across. There is no way I thought this would get violent.
But, it did. "About 50 kids ran towards the bleachers and tore them down. 5 kids were also injured during this riot," said George Henley, a police officer who has been working for the city of Strongsville for 23 years.
"Timmie even threw bleachers at Principal Bill Hixen’s car," said Lynda McDunah.
Bill Hixen has been principal at Strongsville High School for 10 years and he said that this protest was a disgrace to our school. I plan on punishing these students as hard as I can, the dress code is not changing, it is here to stay.
"There are rumors that the school is planning to expel us, even the non-violent protestors," said Lucy Flink a non-violent protestor and a senior at Strongsville High School.
As of now the students have not officially been punished but Officer George Henley said, "We called all of the protestors parents but, we are leaving it up to the school to decide the fate of the students."
Violence is never the answer and because of the acts of a few it seems that the majority is likely to suffer.
