Teddy Gordon says two bullies tried to a kill a second grader and left him hanging on a hook in a bathroom at Frayser Elementary. He also claims LMPD is dragging its feet. Not sure how that can be the case since LMPD has already investigated. [FOX41]

Really, maybe there was no foul play involved? Maybe hanging the kid on a hook was just a prank kids pull all the time? Bullying is bad news bears, though. [WHAS11]

    Klayko seems to be posting in Broken Sidewalk a little more frequently these days. Maybe he’ll decide to come back here…?
    BTW, that tiny guy accompanying Mayor Farnsley – which I had never noticed – may be his muse or his demon.

    Jake, how could you possibly make the comment about “kid pranks” with regard to that incident. I am appalled!

    You realize kids are horrible and do horrible, nasty things, right?

    That situation doesn’t come across to me as the attempted murder Teddy Gordon has tried to make it out to be.

    The eight year old boy who was hung on a hook
    was unconscious when he was found. When they brought him to the hospital’s intensive care unit
    where he was kept sedated for two days, he was
    initially unable to talk or move his hands.

    Was it a prankster or bully?

    Prankster/bully/same horrible thing.

    Neither makes it right.
