Well the first reports I heard had the student being disruptive(texting)in class, and the teacher asked her several times to leave the classroom, and she ignored him.

The teacher then called in the vice-principal, who also asked the student several times to leave the class. She ignored him.

The vice-principal then called in the deputy who basically gave her the you can walk out or I can throw you out choice. She ignored him, and so she got tossed and tagged.

Is there a less violent way to extricate Princess Text from her seat? Sure. Is it MORE painful? You bet. Arm bars, wrist snaps, pull her outta the seat by her hair, all perfectly valid technical methods to move an unwilling participant. She would have screamed bloody blue murder and people would have been even more upset by the ensuing video.

I watched CNN this afternoon and the activist being interviewed was priceless. She admitted she did not know the details of the confrontation, and did not want to lay blame, but the cop was wrong she said. The girl did not commit a crime, and even if she did, the activist says she should have been arrested with dignity.

OMFG, so now, obstinate kids who defy authority are to be arrested in a dignified manner. Hilarious. Let's be clear here. Princess Text was not engaged in a Rosa Parks style moral crusade, ok. She was effing texting on her cell phone during class, and was asked to stop. When she didn't, she was asked to leave, and she didn't. When a more senior staff member asked her to leave she didn't, and at her own peril ignored the cop called to escort her from the room. She had PLENTY of chances to retain her dignity. Her freakin' attitude is what lands her in bracelets, not Deputy Dawg having a bad day.

Sorry, the kid is the master of her own fate on this one. Suck it up Buttercup and take your lumps. You want to fight the system, guess what? The system on occasion fights back.

*drops mic*

Well Hildabeast simply gains power every time someone investigates her and she walks out of the room smelling like a rose, she gains in the polls.

I don't see the merit of grilling her for 11 hours without the 'gotcha' moment. If the GOP just expected her to confess to high crimes and misdemeanors they are just fooling themselves.

They need to find the underlings. The ones who have no power, who have no cover your butt files, and work their way up the ladder. This is an age old investigative process used by cops and prosecutors for literally hundreds of years.

You exploit the weakest link. The aide of an aide who saw something, recorded something, photocopied something for themselves. That's your 'in'.

The GOP has to stop just throwing stuff at the wall hoping something sticks. They need to have the evidence that warrants charges, and we need to see Hildabeast do the perp walk in cuffs. Not quietly surrendering in secret at 3 am in the parking garage of some nondescript federal building.

At that point the Clinton coronation comes to a grinding halt and the GOP race turns into a free for all as those who are left do their best to become America's second choice.

Free speech 'zones' are nothing but pens for the sheeple to be herded into.

You can't tell me not to yell "Fire!" in a theatre if there actually is one, just like you can't tell me where to stand if you don't like critical speech about you.

More often than not these 'zones' are simply to keep the unhappy 'rabble' at a distance from self important politician so they don't have to be subject to any unpleasantries. Awwww, pooor baby.

You know what? Suck it up, Buttercup. If you want to pass laws, make rules, pass judgements, and pontificate political correctness, expect to be challenged. If someone tries to herd you into a 'zone' just so you can open your mouth, so 'Don't touch me! I'm fine right here, thank you! Please leave me alone!'

Be loud, and be conspicuous. Get someone filming it just in case anything happens.

Well then Jared will know what a foot long really means....

Capitalism is bad for blacks. Hilarious. So the idea that blacks should strive for wealth, or should be consumers, or should be producers of goods and services is bad?

Wow. So I guess we better alert the NAACP to shut down. All minority places of learning must be closed immediately and students sent to fully integrated campuses to learn skills they'll never get paid for.

The entertainment industry? Starting immediately all shows featuring black performers will be free to the public, and the performers shall not be paid for their time and talent. Music, movies, TV shows, comedy shows? All free. BET? Turn off the cameras, and lock the doors on the Apollo Theatre.

Sports? Jeez, where do you start? Baseball, basketball, football, all must immediately revert back to 1940, with white guys and latinos as the only ones playing the game for cash.

Factory workers, doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians, any African American in the U.S.A. starting tomorrow gets ZERO dollars for their labor. Oh, but they'll also not be allowed to buy or sell anything. At best, they could engage in bartering for food and shelter.

Yeah, THAT'LL work. Ms. Garza? You are a special kind of stupid, but thanks for coming out.

Was a Buffalo Bills fan when O.J. was 'The Juice' and his o-line was known as 'The Electric Company', so as a fan of O.J. I had hoped he was innocent in the murders.

The jury found him not guilty as opposed to innocent, and the state had botched it's way through what many thought was a slam dunk case.

The Goldman family civil suit in the eyes of many was a 'double jeopardy' situation. The criminal case fizzled, but a civil case had a lower evidence threshold. The family gets all of O.J.'s money and property except for his NFL pension, and all future earnings until he pays off the judgement.

The Vegas case? Some people say there was exculpatory evidence that didn't get to court. The case really revolves around does O.J. saying "Hey you guys, bring some guns cause I'm takin' my stolen stuff back."

He should have called the cops, and let them handle it. Instead, he's a guest of the state for a long time.

Well MSNBC says 'hard worker' is dismissive of slavery, and belittles the black community, and stay at home moms. Oh, but ONLY when the phrase is used by conservative commentators.

The conversation was in regards to Paul Ryan becoming speaker of the house. A conservative commentator, (who is also a latino) speaks to the issue of how Ryan has been a 'hard worker' in Washington on immigration, and how he is respected by the latinos and democrats he has worked with.

The host agrees with the premise, but then suddenly lectures the speaker on how we have to be careful on using the phrase 'hard worker'. She notes that she has a picture that hangs on her office wall of slaves picking cotton, and how THAT is hard work, and how single moms stay at home but don't get called hard working, and how conservatives just call them welfare suckers, etc.

So here you take a conservative, merely complimenting another conservative on doing a good job, and it becomes a whole offensive language slavery/welfare/minority bashing conversation!

What the what???

Well I guess the first issue is, how do the bullies know where to find your profile? Sure, I guess they could try a name search, but if your Facebook profile is 'Spaghetti Dragon', kinda hard to threaten you if I can't find you.

Only hand out your profile info to those you trust, and be clear they don't have your permission to hand it out, no matter how hot the guy or gal asking for it is.

As far as the whole Big Brother is watching thing, we're well past the Orwellian dystopia in regards to cyber stalking by security entities. There are a dozen alphabet agencies who already siphon your communications for the appropriate level of lawful discourse. Bring your threats to the local PD. Most have a cyber-crime unit now or can get access to tech resources to track the offenders down.

Of bigger concern are the tens of thousands of businesses who buy your traffic info so they can massage your buying habits, use you for demographic modeling, and essentially create a dossier on you to engage in all forms of subtle manipulation from social issue awareness, to voting patterns, to consumer purchases large and small. What banks, credit cards, and insurance companies to use, and which cars to drive are worth the bucks spent to influence those decisions.

The longer you spend on line every day, the more chances to try and influence you. Facebook is apparently one of the worst offenders having engaged in emotional manipulation of members by announcing policy or content changes to see how they would react. Facebook is also working to manipulate the speech of people, saying it will look to deny people the ability to post negative comments about Syrian refugees in countries like Germany.

I used to use the RSOE site a fair amount, but they changed their access policies and the information was not as frequently updated as it had been in the past.

I'd use it if I suspected something like an ebola outbreak that wasn't being reported in the mainstream media, to see the number of reported cases and the dead/injured stats. Would be useful in planning to get outta Dodge in a timely fashion.

If this object is 1-2 meters, I'm surprised it will survive re-entry such that it merits tracking. The concern would be the speed it hits the water at as to it causing a localized disturbance in the ocean.

Tsunami possibility? Highly doubtful based on the low mass, and I don't see this thing doing mach 6, as its distortion from heat of re-entry makes it less aerodynamic and will slow it down.

Gotta wonder if it manages to hit a ship, or some poor schmuck suntanning on his boat though. Extremely hot metal banging into a LNG carrier? Ouch.

I read this and immediately flashed to Bill Murray movie 'Scrooged'.

"B*tch hit me with a toaster!"

Obviously adult beverages and zombie TV don't mix. I do however take a slight perverse joy in watching people get separated from their money over the whole 'zombie apocalypse' thing.

Hornady couldn't keep their 'Zombie Max' ammo in stock as the stuff flew off the shelves. Offical ammo of the 'ZA'

You can get a weekend course in the survival skills for the "ZA" (zombie apocalypse). They teach you firearms skills, prepping skills, hoarding skills, turning your house into a mini fortress, etc. Usually $300-500.

You can get you pickup or van modified as a ZA survival vehicle. They weld on crash bars, screens over the windows, etc. Lookin' at $10-30,000 in mods.

You can even buy a pre-built heavy truck that comes with lab equipment, armory, sleeps 6, etc etc. $100,000 and up.

Up gunned and up armored Hummers, kevlar panels, 3 barrel mini-guns, electrified doors, biometric locks, the toys continue as long as you can pay the bills for it.

Apparently calling her Bruce is considered to be 'intolerant' of the LGBTQ community.

As I understand the last reports concerning Cait's 'status', she was still carrying Bruce's package, so for now, she's still Bruce to me.

Call me picky, but if you have a working penis, you're still a guy, but with implants.

Alert the press when he gets everything chopped and dropped, and we'll talk proper name usage at that point.

All those earthquakes must make it hard to light your joint.

Wonder if it adds to the buzz. "Hey man, did you feel that? Did you feel THAT? Did you FEEL THAT????"

Could maybe help a new relationship if the earth ACTUALLY moved during sex. Yeah, I'm THAT good. lol

3300 years? Nah. He got sentenced to 40 years + in a warm cell, three meals a day, and none of lifes stresses like mortgages, car payments, working a paying job, raising kids, etc etc.

He'll have access to education, entertainment, and even a few pen pals I'm sure. Someone will want to interview him for a book, or a movie, maybe the occasional newspaper article. No doubt he'll be in a stressful environment, and will need his head on a swivel for years to come. Of course he could just shank somebody in prison and then get the 'don't mess with me' thing out of the way early. He could also just go big, and actually waste a prisoner so that he gets solitary and never has to worry about it again. What are you going to do? Give him ANOTHER 100 years?

The legal system deludes itself in that it thinks it's punishing people. IF prison is the best life the loser/loner could have ever have hoped for, then we did him a favor. Only people who WANT to be outside the prison are the ones actually punished when you put them inside.

If you really want to seriously deter people from committing serious crimes, then you need serious punishments. We tried to 'civilize' the death penalty by calling certain methods cruel and unusual. Well, duh-uh, they're SUPPOSED to be cruel. The last moments of the criminal should be exactly as it was for the innocent victims who saw the muzzle flash that ended their life, or saw the hammer coming down on their skull, or felt the blade enter their body for the first 20 wounds. The prisoner should have fear, should feel panic, should feel excruciating pain, should have the victims experience.

Bring back harsh, shocking, and brutal methods of death for prisoners like the gas chamber. Make the videos available to cops to show to gang bangers, and those they deem at risk to commit murders like drug dealers or wife beaters. Scare the living crap out of these people so that they just for a moment seriously question their current criminal vocation. THEN you offer them a way out. Job training, upgraded education, apprenticeships, etc.

If I can spend $50,000 a year for two years to train a kid as an electrician or plumber or mechanic such that they can start to make a decent wage, I've taken them off the street and saved almost $2,000,000 on a life time in prison.

I'm NOT a 'hug a thug' kinda guy, but if people seriously 'get' the fact that a death sentence WILL be a gruesome, painful, and truly horrible death, then self preservation starts to kick in. The 'hard core' thug? Nah. He's gone and won't be saved. He'll take his chances of not ever getting caught. It's the people who can be tipped in either direction that you have a chance with.

Stop sending people to prison for what amounts to an all expenses paid abdication of their responsibility to being a productive member of society. Just waste them. I don't exhibit compassion to those who would never have shown it to me. In this situation it is meaningless to be 'the better person' and show them mercy. You really do encourage more of the same behavior from others down the road when you do.

Thus endeth the sermon...

*drops mic and steps off his soapbox*

Well don't forget the abuse factor here either.

I think the state was Indiana, and a guy gets pulled over on the interstate. Cop says pop the trunk I want to search the car, and like an idiot he does.

So what does the cop find? A couple duffle bags stuffed with cash. Like a hundred grand as I recall. Cop basically says 'Ok, Dillinger, what bank did you rob?'.

The driver says he had won a poker tournament. Had the TROPHY for the tournament AND a letter from the establishment noting him as the winner. Instead of making a couple calls and validating the guys story, the cop just takes the money and says buddy will need a lawyer to get it back.

To my thinking, that's abuse of power. You have a logical explanation for the money, and you ALSO have the ability to quickly verify the story. Sure a drug dealer could buy a trophy and fake a letter on his computer, but the establishment itself, the letter, the person who signed the letter, who can verify the name in the letter are all easily checked in 5 minutes by either the cop himself, or he has a supervisor call and get the info for him.

So a year later our driver gets his money back, and incurred a very large legal bill.

Biden has already had 'the talk' with a Clinton emissary. If you run, we will ruin you and your family forever. Full stop. No further explanation will be provided.

Compared to the East German Stasi-like efficency of the Clinton machine to bury the truth, Biden comes off as a naive lightweight. He doesn't have the stomach for the gore involved in what it would take to deny Hildabeast the nomination. He'd have to provide irrefutable evidence of some major illegal or immoral act by Clinton that would repulse the American electorate for a decade.

Since all the prime campaign movers and shakers are accounted for by the Clinton and Sanders camps, Joe would have little access to cash and more importantly acceptance by the elite leadership of the DNC.

Debbie Wasserman White Girl Fro wants Hildabeast given a coronation into the White House. She has tied herself to the Clinton star, and has placed all resources of the DNC into a Hillary 2016 posture. She sees the glory of her name being recorded in the annals of history as the most instrumental person involved in electing the first woman president in the history of the United States. Seeing yourself as a legend in the making is heady stuff. I think Debbie envisions schools named after her, and statues raised up in her name.

It may have been about the altruism of working for the benefit of the country all those years ago when Debbie first put skin in the game. But now? It's ALL about the power, money, and the prestige.

Yeah, can't see this lasting very long. As noted in the article, people with these cards are treated differently than those without.

You don't see peoples credit cards or ATM cards frozen, or cash from bank accounts seized just because you are charged with a crime.

Imagine a cop's girlfriend has a roach in her car with him in it? Does he get his credit card frozen? His bank balance frozen?

The whole asset forfeiture process was meant to seize the PROCEEDS of crime. That means a crime had to have taken place first, and you made money from it. Once convicted, THEN the state intercedes and takes your property.

I'm sure everyone knows of asset seizure by cops, or the IRS, that were the result of some power tripping individual. I'd like to know what the penalty is for seizures of property found to have been done incorrectly or even illegally? You need safeguards in the system to punish those who abuse it with job loss, hefty fines, or exposure to civil suits in order to keep the system 'honest' so to speak.

In most cases when you get your cash taken for example, it is usually a year and about $10,000 in legal fees to get it back. So if a cop takes $9000 from me, will I spend another $10,000 to get it back?

Ok. She lied. What is anyone ACTUALLY going to do about it?

I don't see cops slapping the cuffs on her. No perp walk to the prisoner transfer van to a federal court. No decree from an federal election official declaring her ineligible to run. No Debbie Wasserman White Girl Fro saying Hillary has displayed poor judgement, and the DNC is declining to support her nomination.

There has NEVER been a penalty applied to being a Clinton. Whitewater, Vince Foster 'suicide', lies about sniper fire in Bosnia, that Chelsea was jogging around the WTC on 9/11, that she was 'instrumental' in the Northern Ireland peace process, that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, and my fave, that she's 'just like you'!

Yeah if 'you'... have a kid who has gone to private schools her whole life, were married to a U.S. president, have a full time private chef, fly endlessly on your own jet, and make $200,000 every time you give a speech....then yeah, Hillary is EXACTLY like you.

Well, well, well. In a stunning case of good fortune it looks like Lois Lerner has dodged a legal bullet, as the Justice Department (unsurprisingly) fails to find the required evidence to press charges against ANYONE at the IRS in the alleged targeting of Conservative political groups.

Using extremely nuanced language, and a general boatload of bafflegab, it lets everyone off the hook while at the same time admitting these groups were mistreated by the agency.

For example....while they found "mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia," they found "no evidence that would support a criminal prosecution."

Institutional inertia??? Like what, the IRS building moved while handling Tea Party applications? OR More like the IRS was 'moved' to block and delay these applications for unacceptable periods of time to prevent them being useful during the election cycle?

In regards to Lerner herself?....She used "poor judgment" in using her IRS email account to send personal messages voicing "political views," but said they found no evidence that she exercised her official authority at the IRS in a "partisan manner generally" or that political views influenced her actions with regard to the tax-exempt applications.

Ok 'poor judgement'. She sends emails from her IRS account insulting and disparaging Republicans, BUT that NEVER enters into her conduct on the Tea Party requests that were delayed? Um, ok. Sure.

My favorite part of that is that she wasn't found to exercise her authority 'in a partisan manner GENERALLY'. Well for me NOT to do something GENERALLY, for comparison, I have to do that thing OCCASIONALLY. DUH! No one ever said Lerner denied Tea Party apps 24/7. IF however she dedicated 2 minutes, once a week, to calling someone and saying "Kill all Tea Party apps today" that is NOT generally being partisan????

The underlings in the Cincinnati office? Just dolts apparently. The process they were required to follow was 'burdensome' and 'ill advised' and that front line staff made mistakes that were compounded by 'leadership lapses' in DC.

Wow. Let me get some Glade, cause that is some powerful smelling Grade A horse excrement. So let me parse the admin-speak here. Your processes for Tea Party tax exempt approvals were sooooo tough to pull off, that the staff couldn't help but screw it up? Hmmmm. Wonder how many Democrat related applications were screwed up? The process would be the same for both, right? But, be that as it may, WHEN mistakes were made, people in DC apparently made them worse when they had 'leadership lapses'. Hmmmmm. Again, wondering how many leadership lapses we could isolate on those Democrat themed applications?

Finally though, when we get past all the butt covering splendor that is the Justice Department report, we need to simply look at the math. When the IRS received a request to hand over e-mails concerning the targeting of Tea Party and pro-Israel groups, an amazing thing happened. Computer hard drives started to crash like beaters at a demolition derby.

SEVEN significant personnel who were thought to have e-mails germane to the investigation ALL had crashed hard drives. The IRS's solution? Cancel the contract it had with Sonasoft that would have stored back ups of Lerners email, as well as others.

Some mathematical perspective on these 'crashes'.
1) Odds of winning the Florida state lottery? 1 in 23,000,000
2) Odds of winning Powerball? 1 in 175,000,000
3) Odds of winning MegaMillions? 1 in 258,890,850
4) Odds of all seven hard drives crashing in the same month at the IRS? 1 in 78,664,164,096. That's ONE IN SEVENTY-EIGHT BILLION!!!

In other words, you could win the Florida lottery THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO TIMES before you would crash those 7 hard drives in the same month.

Nahhhhh, nothing to see here Sheeple. Move along, this is not the droid you're looking for....

<----waving arms furiously in Canada.

Um, ok guys. Cut me a little slack if the questions seem stupid but bear with me.

The schools are being closed because the Obamacare costs will be a burden in future budgets, right?

The employer(school board) is closing the schools, and so in essence is laying off the teachers for a couple weeks. So, if laid off, is the school board still paying them, or do the teachers have to collect unemployment?

IF they are 'laid off', then that usually interrupts your length of service with the 'company'. So if Miss Jones has been a teacher for 24 years, and gets laid off for a month, does she lose all her seniority? A year from now she puts in for her 25 year pension and the school board says "What pension? You've only been here a year!"

IF laid off, I assume the school board WILL NOT pay for the teachers Obamacare, and I assume the teachers are collecting an unemployment check. If they cannot pay for their own Obamacare, are they deemed poor enough to qualify for some subsidized version of Obamacare, or do they get nothing?

IF they get nothing, does this not illustrate the point that the most at risk people (losing health coverage due to job loss)are STILL vunerable in America?

IF then that is the case, then WHAT THE **** DID OBAMACARE CHANGE?????

*drops mic*
