News in Brief: School Girls Plan Riot Say Police

Police in Laramie, Wyoming believe that three 13 year old girls were attempting to start a riot.

During a lunch period at school, the girls were observed "giggling", a clear indication of a conspiracy of the darkest order. Police became involved when rumors began circulating that a "food fight" was brewing.

When a school security officer noticed the girls "throwing a French fry at each other," it became obvious that there was a deliberate, methodical effort on the part of these students to lead an uprising against the civil order.

Police Chief Bob Deutsch said, "They saw it as really the planning of a riot." "They intended on ... starting something that no doubt would have the potential of getting out of control," he added.

The girls were citied by police for "hurling missiles," an adult violation, and were also suspended for three days.

The city prosecutor could not be reached for comment.
