Funny cuz that reminded me of when Reagan got shot, I don't think we went home early though but I do remember them making us watch it at school and had a discussion about it. That was in 3rd grade. That would never happen now cuz some soccer mom would sue the shit out of the school district.

Its weird cause when the riots started they sent us home - we pretty much all walked back in those days cause it was only a couple of miles and I was going to school in upper Georgetown - all the way home there were Natl Guard troops with loaded rifles standing every 15 yards or so on the sidewalk - I remember seeing the machine gun nest they set up on the steps of the Capitol building - with a background of most of the entire downtown area up in smoke.
