Teen charged with billing school for $37K of candy.
Teen charged with billing school for $37K of candy
This is just fucking disgusting. It's called a prank, look into it. Why do we even bother having school? How about we just give the kids tests and put them in jail if they fail. You know what maybe we should just skip the middleman and put them in jail from the start. I mean really that would be a whole lot easier. Pretty much that's what we do anyway. I mean how is school not like a minimum security prison. You've got your guards you've got your drug madness you've got your metal and glass construction you've got your clear backpacks and your random searches.
Where was this gung ho arrest everything attitude when I was in school. and did you ever notice that primarily the times kids get arrested is when they're hurting the school, not each other. Kind of shows you where their priorities are doesn't it.
But like anything else to do with school you'll it understand better the moment you realize that school's purposes is not education but conformity training.
The teen faces two counts of felony telecommunications fraud. He was being held in Middletown City Jail on more than $30,000 bond.

Racists Threaten To Abandon GOP
Racists Threaten To Abandon GOP Over Election Of First African-American Party Chairman | Hatewatch | Southern Poverty Law Center
First off as a white man on his 26th year in Kentucky, who despite only knowing 2 or 3 casual racists and not a single vocal or active one, enjoys the national stigma of being a toothless hate spouting redneck simply by virtue of my location, which is ironic when you consider the entire beef with racism is about hating people without just cause, I am damned amused at any annoyance levied against the skin-color-means-a-damn crowd.
That being said, I'd like to take this opportunity to annouce my displeasure with the very real difference in the mind of the public between black pride and white pride. I am aware that writing that sentence is enough to get me accused of being a racist, being that I'm both white and from Kentucky.
My official position is that if race is to be considered a non-issue in society it needs to be treated as such.
There should be no affirmative action because it amounts to government policy creating an advantage based on race and eliminating that sort of behavior was the whole point of the civil rights movement.
There should be no hate crime law for the same reason. Though, not for the common thought crime reason given as we've already gone down that road by allowing intent a place in criminal law. We kill thought criminals. (murder vs manslaughter)
There should be no scholarships divided by race, gender, creed, etc. accepted at publicly funded or tax exempted schools.
It should not ask your gender or race on any government employment or assistance application.
In short, the only people who should ever need to factor in your race are those in the medical community.
Now before you argue think about how often a job application asks your favorite color. Not very often right? Why? Because it bloody well doesn't matter in the context of job fitness, which is exactly where we want race to be right? If that didn't sell you, nothing will.
I am neither proud nor ashamed of my "Heritage" as this includes primarily decisions made by others now dead who did not consult me, and therefor I share not in the credit, and my race, which I had no choice about.
For the record I would have chosen to be a pit viper. I like the whole idea of heat vision and eating once a week. Or perhaps an ant colony, I like the idea of each of my brain cells being encased in armor, and the whole potential for immortality.
In short, white pride needs its negative connotations for being stupid, but once you go down that road so does black pride, country pride (unless you're very much politically active), pride in your favorite sports team, tall pride, or any other pride for an accomplishment you are related to in any fashion separate from choice/will/action.
In fact pride in choice of soda is more valid than pride in heritage.
Public admission: I am a coke supremacist. :)
Racists Threaten To Abandon GOP Over Election Of First African-American Party Chairman
It’s not easy being a white supremacist these days.
Already reeling from Obama’s win in November, believers in white superiority were dealt another blow last week when former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele became the first African-American to head the Republican Party.
Extremists view Steele’s election to the helm of the Republican National Committee as a betrayal by the party that many considered, in their words, “the lesser of two evils.” On blogs and online forums, they excoriated the Republican Party for supposedly pandering to minorities while abandoning what they see as its white base.

Man Robs Bank So He Can Go Back To Jail
Police: Man Robs Bank So He Can Go Back To Jail - Local News Story - WLKY Louisville
Sadly he doesn't get to goto federal prison. And why be shocked? Prisoners are indeed treated better than the poor in many ways, but do not dare construe that as some kind of blood thirty idiot demand for further neglect and cruelty to prisoners, quite the reverse.
I just think if we are prepared to feed rapists we should be prepared to feed the homeless.
And yes it's the rich who should foot the bill. The more you have the more you pay such that any money past 100 million dollars is taken.
The rich in my view constitute a standing crime against humanity.
There is literally nothing any single human can do to earn the right to sit on 100 million dollars or more.
One is enough for anyone. If you can't be happy with one million dollars you need brain surgery or heavy medication, and you damn sure should not be given any more money.
Because you know what? Someone starved to death today you selfish whiny parasite. I don't care if you gave five million away, if you have 2.5 left, you didn't do enough.
Man Robs Bank So He Can Go Back To Jail
Edward Sutherland Hoping For Federal Cell

Lt. Jim Mueller with the Metro Robbery Unit said all their suspect wanted was a one-way ticket back to prison, preferably in the federal system.

Texan who died in prison cleared of rape conviction
Texan who died in prison cleared of rape conviction - CNN.com
That poor man. Things of this sort throw into doubt the entire prison system.
Prisons are immoral in my opinion and I don't feel like trying to convince you of why and what our alternatives are. It's simply too complicated to explain with any brevity, and it's somewhat off subject.
Remember this man and the potentially thousands of others the next time you think prisoners are worthless, or different from you. Wrongful arrest can happen to anyone, even you.
Think about that the next time you complain about someone's light sentence, or make a drop the soap joke. Remember this the next time you complain about criminal's rights, or how well armed and revered the police should be.
Remember, criminals are people too, and you can all too easily find yourself the one behind bars trying desperately to convince everyone you're innocent, and as this poor man has shown you may die trying.
A Texas district court judge Friday reversed the conviction of a man who died in prison nearly a decade ago, almost two decades into a prison sentence for a rape he swore he did not commit, CNN affiliate KXAN reported.
Timothy Cole died in prison while serving a sentence for a rape DNA tests show he did not commit.

The only way through is out.
Thought things were bad? US survivalists await worse - Yahoo! News
Freedom via exit is not just a disater preparedness thing. It's also a political thing. Voting with your feet is often the most empowering sort of vote.
Thought things were bad? US survivalists await worse
Survivalists have a long history in the United States. But what used to be the preserve of anti-establishment loners, cultists and gun nuts has gone mainstream.
Government agencies are encouraging citizens to prepare evacuation plans and food supplies in case of myriad disasters.
Firearms, gold pieces, and long-storage food are reportedly flying off the shelves, and the Internet is flooded with sites like survivalblog.com, where the like-minded exchange tips on everything from marksmanship to cheese making.
