John McCain doesn't seem all of that grateful to the man who pulled him out of his sinking wreckage in Vietnam and saved his life from angry villagers.
The mafia is the largest business group in Italy now.
If these allegations against Canada prove to be even partly true, it's just more egg on Canada's face as the "haven of human rights" and all of that other nonsense they get undue credit for.
Proof that databases, even accurate databases, don't amount to a damn thing for helping the police to do their job if the police won't exercise common sense and discretion in how they use them. The detective should be charged with false arrest, stripped of his career as a law enforcement officer, and blacklisted from every being a cop in Colorado again for such a wanton display of unprofessional and stupid conduct.
Wherever there is a welfare state, there will be welfare cheats. However, you know your system is broken when it provides so much welfare for so long that a family can refuse to work for three generations, and do that legally and with the support of the government.
Zero tolerance policies almost without exception work to hurt the victim of school violence. This teen is a perfect example of what happens when students aren't allowed to stand up for themselves. With the level of violence that the system has allowed him to suffer, it would be perfectly within his right to walk up to one of these bullies and clobber them with a baseball bat. Too bad the way that our system works is that at that age, it almost always ends up defending the person who started the violence against the victim.
Yeah, in school, I learned how to not deal with the school but to take out the problems. Seriously. However, I am bigger, stronger, and smarter, not a brag, just the way of it. I COULD do it, many cannot. I didn't need a baseball bat, daddy's permission (didn't have one usually anyway, and mommy just didn't want to hear about it or deal with it), or anything else external. I would just "do it". I kept it clean and neat, and helped a few people out who couldn't do what I can. I do hate schools. I would never send my kids to them.
Oh, hi.
Unfortunately, if you did that today you would end up with a SWAT team busting down your door at 2AM, shooting all of your dogs, and leaving your parents with at least a few thousand dollars of damage to your house. Remember, violence never solves anything, unless you are part of the government, at which rate the threat of loss of liberty is the solution to everything.
Maybe the first times, though even then I am not sure. Remember, if it is purely one-on-one, there are only two witnesses. Nothing holds up in court. I became quite good, and careful. See, back then I did not have to worry about the police (mostly). I did, however, have to worry about social regard (when ethics and appearances meant something), school admin (who could and would punish even for out of/after school "difficulties), and of course big brothers, extended family, and friends. If it was just us two, it was doable. Still is.
Though, you will have to believe what you must.
