Scissors, in case common sense has left you, are not the equivalent of a fucking GUN. Scissors can not put a hole through your hand and into your body from several feet away. Scissors are not smuggled into the building in your backpack. Scissors are not something you alert school staff about FOUR TIMES. Scissors are…

“Only a flesh wound” takes on a different meaning when it is your flesh that is wounded. If they were unaware of the risk, than why were they searching the kid, and why the “usual” presence of family supervision at school? None of this would have happened had the family had the sense to avoid bringing a deadly weapon…

Oh hell, not this fucking guy again.

Of course they do. They’ll take a foot stool at the table and spin it off as a grift. Don’t they all? I actually believe Piyush Jindal believed in himself, which is sad and pathetic. 

I wonder if the tokens understand that they are tokens. He has very little chance of winning, and is only being used as a prop that Republicans can point to and claim there’s no racism. He’s being funded explicitly for that purpose.

The LEGAL presumption is innocence. He got the benefit of that presumption with the domestic violence allegation, and now he’s a free man. Doesn’t mean people who aren’t a judge or an empanelled member of his jury can’t look at his other skeevy behavior and draw their own conclusions.

I mean, there’s still all that horrific shit of him sliding into underage girls DMs and telling them they’re hot jailbait.

If you are telling it on Tucker, you are wrong.

“His parents explained in a statement that the gun was a legal purchase of the boy’s mother and secured in the home.”

Current middle school teacher here. Public schools by and large have basically no say on who is or isn’t allowed to attend school. You can get expelled for criminally offensive behavior (extreme violence, drugs, maybe sexual assault if it’s especially egregious), but that’s about it. If they are expelled, they’re just…

It’s mental health and poverty issues all the way around really. Two things that nobody’s really willing to touch because there’s no profit in fixing them.

My kids’ school is dealing with something like this right now, and the response that we’ve seen from them is horrifyingly bad. There was a kid in 4th grade who apparently has been bullying a disabled girl in his class for a while, and two weeks ago while on the bus gave her a bullet and said he was going to shoot her.…

Sometimes, folks, the most responsible thing is to not own a gun, full-stop.

They are committed to being responsible gun owners. Also, their six-year-old child with emotional issues was able to put a handgun into his school bag, bring it to school and nearly kill his teacher.

Don’t recall that one but not surprising. Also, finding an STD with your tongue? [VOMIT]

Yep.

That is SO GROSS and so wrong on every level. Fuck Yoffe. I never really had an opinion about her, but now, blechhhh.

God can people please learn to not equate getting fired from a job with having your life ruined?
