Women arrested for fighting in Minneapolis Children's Museum

Two women face possible charges for throwing punches in front of kids at the Children's Museum in St. Paul.

Museum officials said two women started fighting in front of a museum packed with kids and parents who came for "free Sunday" admission.

Children's Museum director Jessica Turgeon said, "There was some pushing and shoving, a few punches thrown, hair pulling." Witnesses told police the fighting was so violent, a massive hole was left in the museam's lobby wall.



"You know it was a pretty big hole, they were fighting with each other and kind of just ran into the wall and it knocked a kind of person sized hole in the wall," said Turgeon.

Kelly Banka, regular visitor to the Childrens Museam, said, "It's pretty embarrassing as a parent. You try to teach your kids good behaviour."

Police are unsure what lead to the scuffle. They don't believe the women knew each other. St. Paul Police Sgt. Paul Schnell said, "It's strange and disturbing that parents would engage in this type of situation."

They went through the drywall right next to the text

"Play is the Poetry of the Human"

...Perhaps as illustrated graphically, they should also write on that repaired wall:

"Agression is Literature of the Human"

...?

:-P

Unfortunately, this sort of thing doesn't surprise me anymore.  The world has been overpopulated with dumbasses.

I mean, what would you possibly need to fight about in a children's museum?  Who gets to look through the telescope first?
