UNless the elite political class is pulled down...

“Fairness” dictates that we must manufacture white criminals because it is not fair that blacks commit crimes disproportionately to their percentage of the population.
It seems like whenever this happens, the “offender” is not some gangbanger or someone with a skeevy violent past.
This young man has expressed a desire to serve in public life, I read that in another thread about him, and he’s concerned that a felony rap will halt that career. Others caught in this have been Eagle Scouts.
Here’s where I go out on a limb- what if the left is using its “get out the vote” and fundraising databases (Google’s Civitas comes to mind) to do a little predictive modeling and see which kids might someday run for office. They then help the careers of lefties and squash the career of conservatives, by using the “bullying” laws and “zero tolerance” policies. You don’t even need a predictive computer model, a lefty principal and school board can do it on their own, but the Big Data tools are there.
Odd that the kids taken down in this way are never president of a GSA or work for a lefty advocacy group.
A charge is a long way from conviction. That said, and I never thought I would say this, I am beginning to detest cops.
This nation has seen its day .. now it must witness it own demise at the hands of idiots.
The ghost of Columbine strikes again. When I first moved up here to the PNW I remember driving past a rural high school and the kids were pulling out their .22 rifles and go shooting in the forest across the street from the school. They had set up a target range. This wasn’t that long ago. About 15 years now. Now, they’re fellons for having pocket knives and making gun shaped pop-tarts. Unreal.
There is something about this story that makes no sense. The two stories I’ve read (both which are secondary sources linked to the Huffington Post) include this line: “For his crime, Wiser was carted off to jail for 13 days.”
The problem is that he has not had a trial yet. SO yes, he could have been arrested and put in jail pending a trial. But he would not have gone for “13 days” “for his crime”.
Since he hasn’t gone to trial, it seems clear he got out of jail pending the trial. And there is no reason that could not have happened the next day. Why did it take 13 days to get him out on bail, or on his own recognizance? It is clear he is not a flight risk.
One article said he had to wear an ankle monitor, and move all his weapons to his grandparents house, and would not be allowed to see his grandfather. It also sounds like he went in front of more than one judge.
It also sounds like something in his posted videos seems to have spooked more than just a couple of people. I haven’t watched the videos, so I don’t know.
This whole “can’t have a weapon in your car” is stupid, but it is what happens when you have one law for an entire state, which has to include inner city schools where there are a large number of students who DO want to bring weapons and commit felonies.
The fools who wrote and enforced this asinine law are the ones that should be doing time -— in the Nut House.
