Irving Place Stooling Update

It gets worse with the Irving Place stooling: The woman who was hit by a stool thrown out a 6th story window at Washington Irving High School was seven months pregnant. Fortunately, doctors expect the woman to recover without any harm to the baby. The Daily News learned the kids involved with the incident probably watch too much TV: "Police sources said the two students told detectives they were reenacting body slams and smackdowns they had learned watching pro wrestling on TV when the chair went out the window." A high school staffer tells the Post, "The school is known as the dumping ground for the bad kids in Manhattan. That's not fair."
