I have a neice who goes to public school also in Baltimore...A student...mom is not on welfare nor does she have multiple babies or whatever your 'ass - u' mption tends to be about this child and her situation...because geuess what...

YOU...DON'T...KNOW
-what that child's situation is
-what her parents do

Did you, or your friends, ever beat up a teacher? Because I kind of think you inadvertently supported his point.

May not have been as massive as Columbine but not newsworthy? Heh.

So what you're saying is that it made the news, but in nowhere near the same fashion . . . I'd never heard of this before this link, and it wasn't plastered everywhere. Again, I think you kind of inadvertently proved his point.

I'm just saying - this issue isn't as slanted as you're portraying it, I don't think.

Maybe you missed but he said: Had Columbine happened at an inner-city school in Baltimore, it'd hardly be news.


Like a school shooting in an inner city school on that level would not have been paid any notice.... WTF man?

so...13 dead....25 to 25 more wounded in inner city schools must happen often enough that no one would notice....


Mmmkay....

My POINT as it were, was, not to ASSUME that the child has crappy parents and is on welfare and that contributed to her beating the teacher up.

None of us has any idea what kind of home life that she has nor can you accurately pinpoint what it was that lead her to that...so stop reaching until it becomes known!

Like someone said before, that child may be one way at home and totally different in school...not to mention different depending on what teacher they are around.

- You can't garnish welfare checks.
-So yes, I'm going to assume the parents are pieces of crap as well as their children.

When you say things like this, you have already stereotyped and judged someone before you have any hard evidence of what you are dealing with based on one isolated act (and not so subtly 'other' environmental factors...). Kevin, 'practicing' law (WTF they call it practicing anyways???...heh!) should know better.


That is why the school board is.....taaaddaaaa...IN - VEST - I - GA - TING
