Unfortunately, I graduated from Winter Haven HS (in Polk county) and if I had lived a couple of streets over, would have gone to Bartow (the HS in the article).
Believe me, I understand being fed up with the whole situation. I’m there myself.
‘Bet you no muslims would be suspended or expelled for the same things.
One of my main pursuits is to limit, as much as possible, my TAXABLE income...
We are rapidly becoming Greece in that way at least. It is our heritage.
You should have seen what happened in Chemistry class in high skrewl when I lit a batch of magnesium on fire, outdone only when I clogged a drain in one sink with sodium metal.
Look at Travon Martin. He was found with stolen jewelry and burglary tools in his back pack. The high school police department (the school needs its own police department!) was trying to reduce crime by black students so they had a policy of covering up for the blacks. They accomplished a 60% reduction in crime among its black students with this method.
The jewelry was sent to the city policy department as as ‘found’ jewelry so the police never connected it to the break in that occured at that time a couple of blocks from the high school.
I found a new epithet to throw around “**** you sideways”
Harsh, but appropriate in these cases, I must admit.
Let me add to the list the UMass/Amherst School of Education, grantor of the invaluable bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees in Social Justice and Victims’ Studies.
We have had several teachers and teachers assistants work for us in part-time capacity in our business. The stories they bring in is enough to curl your hair. The agenda-advancing total control being utilized in our schools is unbelievable. Glad I home schooled mine, and am making sure the grandkids go to private schools...
>>when I clogged a drain in one sink with sodium metal.<<
You’re lucky. In my high school, one kid flushed a hunk of sodium down a urinal. The explosion was heard all over the school. He was found, sitting in a stall across the room, with the urinal in his arms. Miraculously, he wasn’t hurt.
I guess it’s true that God takes care of fools and little children.
Yes I was definitely lucky that day. Nowadays I’m amazed at what was available to us in school. In 7th grade we had nitric acid (don’t recall the molar strength) that would eat through the carpet instantly.
As disgusting as these stories are, they are actually pretty rare when considering how many schools there actually are. Nevertheless, we must be diligent in calling out the lunacy when it happens in our neighborhood.
I think it should be personal, but that is just me.
It is interesting that citizens are starting to act like informed jurors in their daily dealings with government employees.
Start you businesses and hire these two kids. That's revenge.
My senior chemistry class I mixed my own elements and made gunpower. I compressed it into a small container and we as a class (including teacher) went out to the back of school and I put it under a 55 gallon drum (trash can) and lit a 5 second fuse. It blew the can about 10 feet in the air and trash and smoke everywhere and we felt the concussion from 100 feet. I think the teacher thought I would not get it right and make a fizzler, she real quickly ushered us back into class.
That same year I got my hands on some butyric acid and loaded a spray bottle and went around spraying some lockers and stairwells. Whew it stunk!
He does not have a full grasp of “mens rea”.
In the first case, the girl who brought the “household products”, toilet cleaner (hydrochloric acid) and aluminum foil, would generate flammable hydrogen gas. HCL is by itself a hazardous chemical, which is printed on its label. Just bringing it to school should be enough for at least some discipline.
In the second case, the boy’s mistake was not in bringing a shotgun to school by accident, but in talking about it in any way. Calling his mother instead of just waiting it out and taking it home at the end of the day was really dumb.
And his doing so is *evidence* of “mens rea”.
If it was in a gun rack in his back window, he could have just taken it down and hid it under the seat.
The bottom line is that it does not matter if it is a lapse of judgment or ill intent.
All that they really accomplished is a 60% reduction reports in the reports of those crimes. The crimes themselves may very well have increased.
BRAVO sir!!! Now if millions of Americans,one at a time where they live, draw the same line there WILL be an end to this insanity. We HAVE the power to change things! Every one defy one! I do it with Muslims on a daily basis-won`t deal with one or even speak to one under ANY circumstances. And I tell the owners of eatablishments why I won`t stand in a checkout line if a Muslim is the cashier . No Muslim doctors or health care workers either. We are being poisoned and killed ONE TINY BITE at a time-and we treat it as a nuisance to be tolerated instead of the fatal attack it is. ENOUGH!
