BARTOW, Fla. - Authorities in central Florida say two middle school girls brought knives to school in a foiled plot to kill classmates, cut them up and drink their blood.

Arrest affidavits released Wednesday by the Bartow Police Department say the two girls, ages 11 and 12, were armed with knives Tuesday at Bartow Middle School before they were caught. No one was hurt.
Investigators say the girls planned to stake out a bathroom and wait for smaller students to enter.

The affidavit says the students planned to cut their victims' throats, cut up their bodies, eat the flesh and drink their victims' blood

they generally have little understanding of the details of current events but events such as the Saudi murder and dismemberment of the journalist could stimulate such thoughts

At least they’re reading...

But seriously I went to high school with kids who read Interview with the Vampire and then got their teeth filed.

11 and 12 years old. Plotting murder. Just unbelievable. And it's not like this is the first time this has happened in this country. Far from it.
