In light of the topic of this article, here are some resources for anyone who needs help:

This is as important a story as Deadspin has ever done. My contempt for Hardy, Jones and Goodell is matched only by my admiration for Diana’s epic reporting.

And much respect to Deadspin for not letting this one go and publishing what they have.

This is beyond horrifying.

It’s not a joke. Our Twitter replies are full of gun nuts demanding to know when Obama will force background checks on cars.

Oh, I was wrong: someone went with the “terrorism” angle first.

Drunk driving is dangerous and can often lead to harming/killing others, but it’s not the same as planning on going out and harming/killing people.

There’s something like 5 guns per capita in Texas. So where were all the “good guys with guns”?!?!

Yeah this would never happen somewhere peaceful, like the Bay Area.

Uh, no. Teachers work long days, often work at least part of the summer, have crap salaries (unless they’re older in a wealthy district), take work home, and benefits are often only good for teachers who’ve been working a while and are in a weatlhy district. That argument is old, tired, and false, and take that weak…

Of course she was let go for poor performance. Charter’s don’t have to document a poor teacher’s performance like a public school. They can simply let go of any one and call it poor performance.

IF you GF can’t fit into the school culture, or she butts heads with administration over any issue, they can do the same to…

Except they don’t “sell the school off to a private company”, they give it to them. Then, when the school inevitably fails, a large and valuable piece of land ends up in the hands of the investors behind the charter school plan. It’s not a hell of a lot different than the plan to bankrupt the US post office, and it’s…

Rhee/Johnson might be the worst couple in America.

God, what a surprise that one of the biggest advocates of the charter school scam is such a terrible scumbag in other ways as well. Jesus, there are few things in politics these days that make me more enraged than the going along with running the public school system into the ground, claiming “see, they don’t work!”…

Counterpoint. Go Fuck Yourself.

You must be thinking of Arizona. Texas is surprisingly accepting of our illegal immigrants. We have more than anyone but CA and you rarely hear of problems.

A real band would have simulated photon torpedos shooting it in the face.

Isn’t that how the Enterprise defeats its enemies, by ramming them in the mouth with the observation deck?

People who think “the field” is a special lawless Mad-Maxian playground need to go away... if you assault someone (and yes, this was assault) there are consequences. Just because you did it on a special rectangle of land doesn’t mean someone special with a vested interest in their program gets to decide your…

Thanks for sharing your dumb opinion. A playing field is not some magical fantasyland where real consequences cease to exist.
