“It’s heavy, and it’s metal, and it’s sharp,” Detective Sgt. Darlene Breitenstein said after delivering the girl to the Lake County (Ind.) Juvenile Justice Center, where she is being held on battery charges.
"That type of weapon would surprise anyone,” said Lt. Samuel Roberts of the Gary Police Department. “It's not the typical weapon that you may find at a school."

Y'know, it's awful when violence occurs in a school, no matter what kind it is.
But, if it happens, I'd prefer it to be done with a flail.
I feel a little guilty, especially since all that has transpired in the last week, but this is a pretty cool story.
Yes, there's something to be said about old-fashioned personal violence. For one thing, as a potential victim, you can outrun a flail.
I've actually always wanted one of those things. I would use it judiciously of course.
One of our kids brought a broadsword to school a few years ago. She couldn't get it past security. Huh, what is it with girls and Ren Fair weapons?
When medieval weapons are outlawed, only outlaws....
Johnny, you can have my flail when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
Lulu, that's interesting. I see grant money coming your way. I'm especially intrigued that she couldn't find a shank or a handgun laying around she could have used.
Barbara, thank you for using your powers for good and not evil.
I thought Ren Fair doesn't open up till June? Mhh she must have kept it from last year
I'd like to say this surprises me, but I have been to Indiana.....
