MONDAY, JUNE 15 This week of major and minor news kicks off right here in Seattle with what was either an unprovoked attack or retaliation against an unchecked avalanche of sexual harassment at Denny Middle School, where a 12-year-old boy was knocked unconscious after being struck with a backpack that some say was filled with rocks. Details come from the attack/retaliation's victim, sixth-grader Marc Smith, who told KING 5 News, "I heard a thump and then I heard another thump and I woke up in a hospital bed." His attacker: Alexis Austin, another 12-year-old sixth grader, who admits to hitting Smith with her backpack but told KOMO News, "I did not put rocks in there—all I had was my Twilight book, my binder, paper." What's more, Austin says today's clobbering was preceded by a year of relentless sexual harassment and bullying from male classmates. "You walk into the school and it says 'bully free school' and boys are calling us whores and sluts," said Austin to KING 5. Hers isn't an isolated story: In an e-mail dated February 9, a concerned parent warned Denny Middle School's principal and superintendent: "Students have brought condoms and [sex toys] to school, threatened rape in a classroom environment, and [used school computers to post] explicit messages about other Denny Middle School students." Nevertheless, Marc Smith insists he's not a bully and has no idea why Alexis Austin came after him with her backpack. Smith was taken to the hospital with a concussion and is expected to be fine; Austin faces a 90-day suspension from school and could face criminal charges.

TUESDAY, JUNE 16 The week continues with a semipredictable development in the saga of Miriam Sakewitz, aka the Bunny Lady of Oregon, the 47-year-old animal lover who first made headlines back in 2006 when Hillsboro police found over 150 rabbits in her home and the bodies of dozens more in her freezers. Arrested at the time on animal-neglect charges, Sakewitz pleaded no contest and was ordered not to come within 100 yards of a rabbit for five years. Which brings us to today, when Oregon police officers visited a motel in Tigard, Oregon, and found Sakewitz holed up with more than a dozen rabbits, one of them dead. As the Oregonian reports, Sakewitz was arrested and arraigned on charges of violating her parole by shacking up with rabbits. She's scheduled to appear in court again June 26.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17 Speaking of real-life Americans who seem like they wandered out of a Hitchcock film: The week continues with Thomas Prusik-Parkin, the 49-year-old man in New York City charged today with a bevy of crimes after allegedly spending the past six years dressing up as his dead mother to collect over $100,000 in Social Security benefits and rent subsidies. Details come from NBC New York, which reports Prusik-Parkin's mother, Irene, died in 2003 at age 73, after which her son commenced his alleged ruse. "Sporting a wig, sunglasses, nail polish and old-fashioned garb... the makeup-laden schemer crafted a detailed facade, using a cane, fake ID and even inventing a fake nephew, played by alleged accomplice Mhilton Rimolo, to help convince government agencies to shell out the dough," says NBC-NY, adding that Prusik-Parkin "impersonated his deceased mother for so long that he appears to believe he actually assumed her identity." As Prusik-Parkin reportedly explained to police: "I held my mother when she was dying and breathed in her last breath, so I am my mother." Today, Thomas Prusik-Parkin and Mhilton Rimolo were hit with a 47-count indictment charging the pair with grand larceny, forgery and conspiracy, perjury, and criminal impersonation. If convicted, they face up to 25 years in prison.

THURSDAY, JUNE 18 Nothing happened today, unless you count the field trip undertaken by a group of students from North Beach Elementary School to Seattle's Carkeek Park, where kids found a loaded Glock pistol on the beach. "I picked it up, thinking it was a toy gun," 10-year-old Vidal Glassman told KOMO. The kids alerted a teacher, the teacher alerted police, and investigators continue to try to link the gun to an owner. (The serial number was a dead end.) As MyBallard.com reminds us, this is the second loaded gun found in the neighborhood since last month, when police discovered a ready-to-go AK-47 in the bushes at Golden Gardens. Stay alert, Ballardites, and viva field trips.

FRIDAY, JUNE 19 The week continues with the sad saga of Scott Noble, the former King County assessor whose life turned upside down after he made a drunken U-turn in the middle of I-5, slamming head-on into an oncoming car and nonfatally injuring himself and the other car's two occupants. According to court documents obtained by KOMO, Noble had a blood alcohol level of 0.22 at the time of his January 18 crash; today in King County Superior Court, Noble faced sentencing for one count of vehicular assault, for which he was sentenced to eight months of work release. "I'm very sorry for the injuries," said a tearful Noble, who'll be spending his nights in jail and his days working the front desk at Northgate Mall's Massage Envy. (He's also been ordered to pay restitution to his victims, and his driver's license has been revoked.)

SATURDAY, JUNE 20 Today we turn to Iran, where the heroic and increasingly horrific postelection uproar continues into its second week. From Andrew Sullivan's invaluable blogging of Twitter messages out of Iran (sic and Lord have mercy): "The street is full of rocks and fire!" "trucks blasting water at the people" "basij is even attacking young girls and women" "Helicopters spraying water with agent in it onto crowds. Skin irritant, will make it feel as though water is scalding." "police were killing young people like animals." By day's end, dozens of Iranian protestors will be reported dead, with a handful of deaths caught on video and posted to YouTube. Meanwhile, defeated/robbed presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi repeated calls for Iran's rigged election to be annulled, while President Obama urged Iran's government "to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people... The world is watching."

SUNDAY, JUNE 21 Nothing happened today, unless you count the ongoing horror in Iran or the clobbering of amoral blogger Perez Hilton by a Black Eyed Peas affiliate outside a nightclub in Toronto.
