Having fun has been against the law for quite some time now. It's a ****ing shame. I got popped for playing my guitar too loud, with a Mariachi band, in Fairield California, in 1987. $5 Bens for the lawyer, case dismissed.
This woman was experiencing elation is in her own way. Can't have that!
And if the families of the students unfortunate enough to follow her daughter don't get to hear their students name called, well that's just too bad for them, huh? Rudeness and selfishness seems to be an epidemic these days. As long as I can grab the spotlight, to hell with everybody else. Sad.
now come on, this woman wasn't hurting anybody. I can't believe she got arrested. That's outrageous - she can't have been the only one cheering. People are too obssessed with laws and discipline these days and I just think everyone really needs to ease up.
You don't scream and holler at weddings, Christenings, funerals nor in movie theaters.. You don't scream and holler in lecture halls or in church or in school..
The woman is an idiot.
Couldn't they just turn up the microphone so that you could hear the names over the ruckus?

Great. So graduation ceremonies become a battle of the noise makers ending up in rock-concert volumes?
How about this - hoot and holler at the graduation party you throw for your child.
Let the formal ceremony for ALL, be enjoyed by ALL, with decorum and class.
You can show enthusiasm for your child in ways that don't offend others around you.
agreed, all around
but do we now arrest people for being crass?
because of our foolish policies we how have 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prison population
we shouldn't make such stupidity even more lopsided
SC mom busted at kid's graduation: 'I cheered for my baby and I got the cuffs' - U.S. News <-- clicky
Did the authorities act accordingly?
Is this really an arrest-worthy offense?
Was the mother out of line?
Did she deserve to be arrested?
Are you in favor of this kind of police action?
Do you support the arrest of this mother?
You can show enthusiasm for your child in ways that don't offend others around you.
If you're offended by someone else showing enthusiasm for their child graduating then you have problems. People do have a right to free speech so long as it does not endanger anyone else. And a person cheering for thier kid graduating certainly does not fall under that purview.
You however do not have a right to not be offended.
Ummm...
I suppose you don't mind the obnoxious people a couple of rows down in the movie theater who insist on having a party during the film?
