Boy gets shirty
A 13-year-old Californian boy was arrested yesterday after pulling a loaded pistol on a teacher who would not let him wear an “Anarchy Now” T-shirt in a school yearbook photograph, police said. Allen Eberhart, who was in the middle of teaching a class at a high school in a Los Angeles suburb, quickly wrestled the .357 magnum away from the teenager before any shots were fired and held him until help arrived. A sheriff’s spokesman said the pupil walked into the classroom to protest against Mr Eberhart’s decision to bar him from
wearing the offending Tshirt while his picture was taken.—Los Angeles
