If you were a school board and one of your teachers was caught with 20 packets of heroin (in a courthouse!!), you would think that would be a fireable offense, right?

Well in the great city of New York, not so fast, kimosabe... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/20/n...-firing-of-teacher-who-faced-drug-charge.html

Well, at least school officials wanted to 86 this scumbag. And the Nanny says they're going to appeal. Candidly, I'm a bit surprised they even tried to terminate him. Not being particularly knowledgeable about these things, is heroin (particularly in the amount he had on him) customarily thought of as "recreational?" And "for personal use?" Heroin?

The talk radio I listen to in the morning was taunting the national media asking "why the Chicago violence wasn't front page news. Why there wasn't an outcry of national tragedy. ... oh right, because it was just some gang bangers."


On a similar note, I saw a reference to Chicago that I hadn't heard before: Chiraq. (Shy-Rack (Rock, however you say Iraq))

I'm just glad that I work in some of those areas on weekdays and during daylight hours only.

So tell us what the half full side of the Chicago shootings is.

As I've posted repeatedly, the issue to me is the wasted human life. Coupled with the fact so-called civil rights leaders and their compatriots in DC seem to have zero concern. NYC has had great success in lowering the crime and murder rates in large measure because of "stop, question & frisk." There are literally thousands of people alive in NYC today (the vast majority of them minority) because of this strategy. Yet the next mayor of the city seems h*ll bent on ending the practice. The glass is half full because I'm hopeful eventually people who allegedly represent folks in high gang neighborhoods will stop posturing about "stand your ground" and George Zimmerman and apply their energies to stopping this slaughter. That precious 3-year old has as much right to life without being shot in the face as any white kid.

It takes a certain dogged ignorance to try to turn my arguments about crime in Chicago and the virtual silence about it by "civil rights" leaders and politicians around.

A good buddy of mine from high school flys F22s, he can't tell anyone where he is or where he flys. I wonder if it was him that this article was about. :p

That would be too cool. Thank him for all of us next chance you get.

That 3-year old isn't in a gang. The Chicago police superintendent finds it much easier to bloviate about the type of weapon used rather than the fact that there were apparently several people perfectly willing to open fire on a crowd with no concern whatsoever for who they were shooting at. What in "the wide wide world of sports", will passing new regulations limiting so-called assault weapons accomplish? Will those urban animals suddenly "come to Jesus," reasoning that since the weapons are illegal, they can't use them? Does that make sense on any level?

Meanwhile, the other end of the "people who are supposed to have guns" spectrum continues to behave poorly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v__icFT634s

Over the course of the nearly five minutes of footage, Meyers and Tatowski can be heard exchanging words with Hart, and Hart can be seen pointing his stun gun at the family — a fact he left off the official report.

After the video went viral earlier this week, Hart was placed on paid administrative leave pending the results of an internal investigation.

He was also put on paid leave by the Toledo Public Schools, where he was employed as a school resource officer.

"He’s not in trouble, but to keep things aboveboard, we put him on administrative leave until an internal investigation is fully complete," Washington Township police Chief Christopher Kaiser said in a statement. "I’m not saying he did anything wrong, but we’re trying to show we’re not trying to sweep this under the rug or cover it up."

Yep. Nothing to see there.

To be fair: He was brandishing a stun gun, not his pistol. And of the three people he had on the ground, continually pointing his stun gun at one of their heads, only one was actually involved in the original traffic stop. Her father-in-law arrived with family members later, and judging by their trailer-trash nature I'm guessing that they were less than polite in dealing with the cop. It might be perfectly fair to say that everyone involved is kind of a tool, although the cop is theoretically supposed to know better.

That's exactly the vibe I get. Acting like Barney Fife isn't exactly the same as beating the snot out of Rodney King for sh*ts and giggles. The training, competence and experience for cops isn't guaranteed equal from one jurisdiction to another. If it were, those stupid cops in Boulder wouldn't have made such a hash of the initial Jon Benet Ramsey investigation. If Mark Furman (whatever his short comings as a human being) had showed up that morning, likely Patsy Ramsey would have died in prison, where she belonged.

Seems to me if he had 20 pre-measured bags of smack, he should be automatically suspected of dealing. Proving it with no other evidence would be the tricky part.

Regardless, what a great "teacher".
