Put down the sandwich, and come out with your hands up!

Someone called authorities yesterday after seeing a boy carrying something long and wrapped into Marshall Junior High in New Mexico. The police put armed officers on rooftops, closed nearby streets and locked down the school.

The "something" turned out to be a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.

Disagreed. The "someone" who called the cops could simply have asked the kid what he was carrying.

I get why they didn't, but it's pretty bad for kids, methinks, to teach them that anything they do that's out of the unusual is grounds for suspicion that they are serial killers.

Damn, that's a big burrito.
