I actually did not read your post at all....seemed long winded. you need to get it down to a few sentences.. I was responding to other poster who indicating there was something wrong to say the kid should be punished. What happened to making people responsible for what they say with a little fear.
Not sure what the point is of that pic. If it some pussy protester crossing a line then they should be arrested.
I think the student should be charged with possession of a WMD. Maybe 20 years in the slam and getting her cheeks busted out will teach her right from wrong.
The producers who made this commercial should be criminally penalized for exploiting kids to destroy our brains with one of the world's most annoying jingles that gets stuck in the heads of sane people everywhere.
Jeez, it is hard for me, not being American to comprehend this. Was it an open carry, or does she usually keep her hands in her pockets? I come from an extreme socialist country, where we are kept under the knuckle of big government, but this is way beyond what even they would do.
Arrested and charged with a felony seems a bit harsh for a young kid. Yes, the culture has changed and this kind of behavior should be addressed, but com'on, lets have some perspective.
If it were muslim girl with a birkha on, they would not be cuffing her "teach her a lesson." I can guaranty you that. And no, I am not joking. I am saying what I just said. That would be going into the N0-GO zone. Nor do I want them cuffing any muslim girl. Just sayin that is how the little woke-dance goes.
The WTC bombing of 1993, 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing, Oklahoma City, all the mass shootings, the Atlanta Olympic games bombing, etc etc etc... It has finally seeped it's way into generation of Americans, and has now flourished into a society that is so paranoid, that any wrong move will put you in jail, because it is perceived as a threat to domestic peace. The salad days of pre 9/11 will never be had again. If you exist and have exposure to the public now, you had best record everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, you do in public, because that will be the only proof you will have of no wrong-doing if you are ever accused of a crime. Innocence lost.
mr aaainthebeltway to reduce the funding of the educatinal establishment by 50% is the answer. trainer's motto: "you get the bahavior that you reward" applies here too. spend half as much, require creative solutions to come from the educational system by necessity. make the decisions on what is wheat and what is chaff. We may find that childcare service and education are different animals. they do not know what they are doing any more than most bureaucrats, except that payday is on friday, and the more firmly entrenched in the bureaucracy they can become, the better. Individual teachers, on the other hand, can make all the difference in a person's life at that age. More Power To Them Them that know what they are doing, and more money poured in at the Top is not going to suddenly start working now.
