A 15-year-old student at Franklin High School reported that a fellow student tried to rape her in a school bathroom this week; school officials promptly notified the SPD and expelled the two students who were identified as her attackers, and police are investigating the case. Any rape story chills us down to our bones, especially those involving such young men and women, but in this situation, one detail stood out as well: a bystander said she saw the bathroom door being held closed and heard the word "Stop" from inside, but "didn't think anything of it at the time." Since when is that somehow not noteworthy behavior on school grounds? Ugh. We're grateful to the police and to Franklin officials for taking the appropriate actions on this case.

If The Sopranos took place in Seattle, we always imagined the mob haunts would be in industrial south Seattle, with the Bada Bing on Airport Way South. So the report of a body being dumped out of a moving vehicle at Ninth Avenue South and South Dakota Street at 7:30 this morning sits well with our seedy visions.
