I can understand the parents concern but the kid said there was a danger. There wasn't. The article makes it sounds like the teachers bailed leaving the kids in danger. Another mischaracterization.

Given her field of study it may not make a difference but going for clever over smart is not a good sign for a student.

ain't no secret

"Somebody's got to pay for our mistakes."

What's kind of cool is that this guy probably thought he had gotten away with everything. He may have even forgoten the chair incident. But, out of the blue, there's a knock on his door. "Mr. Fisher, we're from the FBI. We'd like you to come with us."

Russian efforts in support of Trump have always been to foster havoc in the US.

WSJ is an Exxon apologist.

Fact:

If we lock everyone up there will be no more crime.

That's the heart. Everything is about being pragmatic. Let's nominate sucky candidates because they have the best chance of winning. Let's let economic concerns dictate our domestic and global activity because that way we'll remain strong. Let's only fight battles we're sure we can win.

You fight because it's the right thing to do.

What makes you think Dems would be for it? There are a whole lot of corporate Dems in Congress. None-the-less, unions should never have stopped trying to get rid of it. It was only after (many) unions became corrupt little fiefdoms that they gave up.

Number one on the agenda should be repealing the Taft–Hartley Act which restricts the activities and power of labor unions. It was enacted by the 80th United States Congress over the veto of President Harry S. Truman, becoming law on June 23, 1947.

However, all unions should prioritize their allegiance to their respective professions not individual members.

google the headline

Looks like a 1966 250cc Montesa La Cross.

The Republican elite are all in favor of Trump being convicted of bribery rather than his other crimes.

Al Capone going to jail for tax evasion comes to mind.

An open question?

An open answer:

If a kid was trying to kill me I hope I would have no hesitation.

Click-bate title. If you don't go further it sounds like this kid was killed for a minor offense. Not the case.

final release

Newsweek, 8/18/22

Harrowing footage shows a lonely killer whale circling its tank and thrashing around, having outlived its friends and offspring.

Kiska, dubbed the "world's loneliest orca," circled the perimeter and splashed water over the walls of her isolated tank at MarineLand Park in Niagra Falls, Ontario, Canada. The footage was filmed in June 2022.

The orca is said to have been captured in Icelandic waters in 1979, and has been in captivity ever since. Kiska, who is approximately 45-years-old, has survived all of her tank mates and her five calves, activists say.

Researchers and activists believe her behavior is a result of her damaged mental and physical health and well-being from prolonged captivity. SWNS reached out to MarineLand Park for comment.

MarineLand has had 26 orcas pass through its tanks since it opened in 1962, with 20 of them dying there and the rest either traded or given away to other establishments.

Despite being well-known as social animals that thrive in groups, Kiska remains isolated from any other animal.

Former MarineLand employee-turned-activist Phil Demers, 44, who worked at the park for 12 years, said: "Kiska is MarineLand's last surviving orca. She was captured in 1979 in Icelandic waters and has been at MarineLand ever since.

"Her mental and physical health are deteriorating and as seen in the video, she repeatedly swims around her pool in the exact same way, even stopping briefly in some shallow water to shake erratically.

"Experts call it "zoochosis." Orcas are social animals and need to be with their families, or at the least, with others of their own species. For Kiska, her isolation is torture. Sadly, Kiska's fate is largely sealed at MarineLand as she is their property, and as no viable seaside sanctuaries exist, her future is heartbreakingly bleak."

> I'm correct

Just what is it you are correct about?

> you aren't informative or amusing

Yes I am.

I totally agree with your assessment of the Post but they were reporting a story pushed by the city and the police.

You're absolutely correct. It's all pernicious lies. I tried to make it look like a typo but you caught me out. You clever dickens.

This article reminded me of an incident more than 20 (I have been corrected. Should read 10) years ago. The New York Post dedicated a full front page to a story about a murder linked to the Occupy Wall Street protests. A DNA sample was retrieved from a lock broken at a subway gate and it matched evidence from a Long Island killing a year or so prior.

It finely emerged that (1) the sample had been compromised by a lab technician and there was no match and (2) New York city had a backlog of 500 untested DNA samples from rape cases.

The city, in an OWS witch hunt, had gone to the trouble and expense to pursue a minor breach over 500 felony cases. The Post never issued a retraction. Exposure, however, did force the city into dealing with the backlog.
