i went off about it in anubis's plurk
and then went off in a private message about it LOL
we all need too, that poor kid
Hey, America, you want to know why China gets all our shit? Because we took our innovative, bright, learning minds and we cuff them and treat them like criminals because you are too fucking stupid to
figure out a circuit board.
and the quote "it looked like a movie bomb" WHAT THE FUCK
see that is what is so wrong with america
this is why people thought the shootings on live tv were 'faked'. Because they 'didn't bleed like TV'
seriously, also what needs to be addressed is ZERO tolerance
get rid of that policy, let teachers decide what should be reported or not
if it would have been a white kid, i dont think they would have treated him the same
And i dont like saying that. I want to believe that we arent like that, but i get proved wrong weekly
I think the area and kid could make a difference - like a goth kid somewhere rural probably would've triggered a reaction, although probably not as strong as that one.
it is texas, it's possible
anyway, it just grinds my gears that, in particular, law enforcement is so afraid to be perceived as dumb (and a lot are, sorry!) so they won't 'ask' or 'check' anything - I guess they think it makes them
hi... goth kid in rural area, never got arrested but got treated like shit.

this bullshit needs to stop...
look less authoratative, but you know what, that's why there are "EXPERTS" because we can't be experts on everything
all i ever got was people afraid i was going to "go columbine" on them. still never ended up in handcuffs. wtf is wrong with people. i can't even...
i dont know how to fix it, i know it is wrong. People need to remember, to treat people like you want to be treated.
