Do We STILL Make 'Em Hale & Hardy?


Monticello — "The shots came out of nowhere.

One cracked the window next to 11-year-old Courtney Hurney. It broke into pieces, and she saw blood on the hand of a third-grade girl in that seat.

A sniper using a BB or pellet gun shot three windows of a school bus that was dropping kids off from school just before 5 p.m. Wednesday.

This wasn't Baghdad. It was a tree-lined street in Monticello — Park Avenue between Morris Drive and Thomas Street.

Police and school officials say there were no serious injuries. Just a few surface scratches. The safety glass kept the windows from totally shattering.

But the 25 kids on the bus, heading home from an after-school tutoring program at Kenneth L. Rutherford Elementary School, were shaken.

"(Courtney) was up all night long, crying on and off," said her mother, Cathy. "She had nightmares all night. It wasn't a fun night."

Had to be idoiotic kids. Catch them and send them to do hard time. Then have a long talk with Courtney's parents to try and discover how in all hells they managed to raise so fragile a human being.
