Teacher Busted For Naked Stroll In School Hallway

[n2doc]

APRIL 28--A teacher who stripped off his clothes and walked naked around a Georgia elementary school gave cops a New Age explanation for his behavior, claiming that he had achieved a “new level of enlightenment” and “wanted everybody to be free now that his third eye was open," according to a police report.

For allowing others to see his third eye last Friday afternoon at the B.C. Haynie Elementary School, Harlan Porter was charged with public indecency. The 31-year-old educator, pictured in the mug shot at right, was booked into the Clayton County Jail on the misdemeanor charge and released after posting $2000 bond.

Since Porter’s April 22 stroll--which came at about 3:20 PM--was not witnessed by any students, who had been dismissed, he avoided more serious charges.

After Porter told a Morrow Police Department officer about his enlightenment, the cop reported that, “I then explained the obvious problem with his third eye being opened in public.” While acknowledging that his education career would be damaged by the bust, Porter said that he still desired to teach, except “on a new level, with hands in the earth, gathering the essence and learning how to love one another and fully appreciate the spiritual realm.”

1. And did they test for schizophrenia?

[tblue37]

10. This is in the article:

"Reed also reported that Porter had previously been 'diagnosed schizophrenic,' though the school’s principal told cops the educator had never exhibited 'strange behavior.' ”

11. Yah. This is illness, not criminal.

Thought it sounded familiar.

2. Awesome. nt

3. Dude, that sort of activity is supposed to remain in dreams...

My third eye may have been opened, but I only walk around the house nekkid and spiritually free, where only my cats, my dog, my spouse, and the bird can be amused or disgusted.
Some people just can't handle TRUTH.

(I don't know whether to laugh or be sad for this guy. If this was a perminant rather than temporary phase of mind-alteration, he'd probably rather I laugh with him...)

4. Was it his third eye or his third leg that he wanted to show off?

Whichever it is this guy needs a psychiatric exam.

5. You neglected to post the "vegan angle"!

According to cops, fellow teachers reported that Porter “did not drink sodas or other canned beverages and maintained a strict vegan diet” and was not known to take drugs or drink alcohol. “However on the date in question they noticed that he was drinking a coke and had gone to taco bell to get tacos for lunch,” reported Officer Khari Reed.

8. The guy sounds unstable. Diet likely had nothing to do with his behavior. nt

[KittyWampus]

9. Agreed. Article mentions possible schizophrenia. Running naked or half naked

can happen if you are off your meds. I have 2 brothers who are on heavy duty anti-psychotics and unfortunately have seen it.

21. He needs to eat some meat.

:9

[KittyWampus]

22. In esoteric circles- if you're getting out of balance it's suggested you do eat some meat.

It helps ground you. :)

6. Is that your third eye opening or are you just happy to see me?

:roflmao: put your third eye back in your pants


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[saras]

7. yeah, right

I'm thinking "got dosed unknowingly with some modern psychedelic" - which would reasonably be expected to amplify and exaggerate existing personality traits and attitudes.

Or an agent provocateur, but if I were the spook involved I'd much rather dose someone than try to train an actor.

In either case, a convenient thing to have happen at this point in the education debate - for a certain interest group.

12. Ugh the message board is disgusting.

The right wing BS is all over it.

[BillyJack]

14. My first thought was "drugs, man"......

but upon second thought and reading other responses, all I can think is that "it's difficult to keep up with 'the crazy' and I'm d*mn tired of the weird and crazy. I want to fix things that are broken. I want to help make things better".

That's sooooooo boring, of course. But it's 'good, right & true'. I'm all for that. How about you?

YEAH! Defeat these crazy bastid internet sabateours (sp?). I'm tired of their crazy, made-up stories. Doesn't help my/your life none, does it? These sort of stories should never see the light of day, or more accurately should not reach my 'internet eyeballs'.

[Tuvok Obama]

15. He might have a good point

No pun intended

[BillyJack]

16. or not.

probably *not**

[etherealtruth]

17. So let me get this straight ....

He was arrested for displaying symptoms of his illness...?

Hopefully, he gets his disease under control .... poor guy

18. This explains everything.

“However on the date in question they noticed that he was drinking a coke and had gone to taco bell to get tacos for lunch,” reported Officer Khari Reed.


The last time I went to Taco Bell, my third eye was opened - if you know what I mean.

[pipi_k]

19. Was it your third eye...

or your brown eye?

Just wondering....


:+

[Recovered Repug]

23. I have brown eyes.

So, I guess my third eye would also be a brown eye, too.

[Renew Deal]

20. I'm glad he didn't say "snake eye"

:wtf:

[Odin2005]

24. That "Third Eye" BS is one of the most idiotic New Age things I hear about.
