Siggy forwarded this article, Machete-wielding teens attack Australian school

Five youths barged into the morning assembly at Merrylands High School in south-west Sydney, witnesses said, grabbing students before starting to smash windows at the school.
Five punks injure eighteen people and terrify hundreds.

Go read the rest.
