That depends. Did Savana put the Advil in my personal cavity or hers?
In either case, it's Emergency Room time with the parents and the police. There's health and safety issues involved, plus a gross violation of privacy.
Bobby wants us to become the perfect drug-free police state. NOTHING is too far over the top if it keeps just ONE person in jail for possessing a single joint or, in this case, a single Advil tablet. Bobby is the perfect fascist bootlicker.
Nope. Not unless the 'mo were a pedophile or a pederast as well. Child molestation is not the exclusive realm of homosexuals; there are plenty of heterosexual child molesters as well. And just because one is a homosexual, one is not necessarily a pedophile or pederast.
Interesting that you left out the “uncorroborated accusation” part of my question when you quoted me. Are you okay with acting on anybody’s wild accusations, corroborated or not?
BRAVO sierra. Hyperbole is not going to make your point for you, friend.
So the choices are either strip this little girl down immediately, or do nothing and let the entire school body die from her drug pushing? You're getting a tad ridiculous here, Bob. What happened to investigating the uncorroborated accusation a bit more fully, talking to and observing the accused girl, thereby giving her a chance to explain herself, and why, for example, she was accused of doing what she did, calling her parents and letting them have a say in the proceedings, etc., etc.?
Or are you so steeped in your inflammatory rhetoric that you think only an immediate strip search would have saved society from certain ruin in this instance?
Had she shaken out her bra and out drops Ecstasy or crack, then what? (Reason never would have printed the story, for one. Meaning we never would have heard about it.)
You're trying to minimize the Advil. She distributed a prohibited drug. Period. It's Advil. So?
If you think that should be OK, fine, write it into the school rules that kids can exchange Advil in the hallways along with any other legal drug they want.
But don't come out after the fact and say, "It's only Advil".
Can I pick that person? Can I? Can I? Huh?
Ash, is that you?
In this case, yes. I take it you would not?
She should of gouged their eyes out, threw a chair through the window and escaped these nut cases.
That would have really put this school on the map for what they are.
Why sure, bobby. BUT... if you pick wrong and your manufactured evidence doesn’t stand up, can I give you a long, slow bath in a vat of hot oil?
You take it right. I don't support warrantless search police states.
Maybe it didn't occur to you that already-busted Marissa could have made the wild accusation because she doesn't like honor student Savana and she's protecting her real drug buddy. Maybe a real investigation could have determined the truth before Savana's humiliation.
If Savana were my daughter, I would pummel the pervert who stripped her and anybody who got in my way.
Whoa! It was the school nurse, not Nurse Ratched.
Not that I'm surprised.
No, but they know what they expected to find, if anything---the thing for which they were looking. I seem to remember a certain something about searches in a document I read somewhere . . . you might have read it . . . something about warrants and probable cause, particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Hmm. That would seem to make the sort of fishing expedition you propose here a tad, um, wrong.
The more you stick to this "well, the girl could've been pushing an entire illegal drug pharmacy out of her panties," the crazier you sound. You do realize that, don't you? Only you are making the leap that if she's distributing Advil out of her skivvies, then she's probably dealing Ecstasy out of there as well.
Hey, why stop with strip searches at school? Let's just allow the cops to search any home or car they wish. Never know what they will find.
Sure. You could ignore it. But what if the uncorroborated accusation by druggie Marissa had been that Savana had put Advil in a personal cavity was true? Kids do stupid things, you know.
And what if the package leaked? What if the package contained more than just Advil? What if Savana had died from shock because you didn't want to take any action becaue someone's "feelings" might get hurt?
Hey Bob, why don’t we strip search all the kids as they enter the school each day? That way we can be sure the school is drug free. Who needs that pesky real evidence. We have to be proactive here. It’s the nannystate’s..er..school’s responsibility to force adherence to the rules of Bobby’s world.
