A school security guard found the folding knives Aug. 21 while searching his mother's vehicle, which Mahan had driven to school.

Hmmmmm

I bet he gave permission to search the car, always a bad idea. So much is illegal, contraband, or thought to be, it is almost never a good idea to give consent to search.

Refusing consent to search costs you little or nothing, and puts you on the side of the angels in upholding our Bill of Rights.

Rights are like muscles: Use them or lose them.

clearly unwarranted search and seizure. My daughter drives one of our family cars to school and I certainly have not cleared it of "weapons". I keep a tool kit in there with all kinds of things that could be labeled dangerous, hammer, wrench, x-acto knife, screwdriver etc etc...and probably a folding knife (I'd have to check).

Bachman said that excuse is not a "creditable defense."

Sloth says that Bachman is a "mindless whore."

Too bad the kid wasn't in a "special ed" class--the kind for BD-behavioral disabled--he could have walked. Same too if he had been an appropriate minority and could have claimed racism

I have zero tolerance for zero tolerance.

Like Gatto said, "According to [Alexander] Inglis, the first function of schooling is the Adjustive Function, the establishment of fixed habits of reaction to authority (nothing in here about reading, writing, and arithmetic), the establishment of fixed habits of reaction to authority, in which I learned that stupid orders test this much better than sensible orders. People who follow sensible orders are just sensible, but people who follow stupid orders, those are the people you can trust. This prepares the young to accept whatever managers dictate when they're grown."

We need aggressive attorneys to step forward and litigate civil cases, using whatever legal theories will get these cases before a jury.

Sue the institutions (the 'deep pockets') and sue the individuals involved with the objective of stripping them of their personal assets or forcing them into bankruptcy.

It would be difficult at first, with many dismissals. But a relentless onslaught of lawsuits would eventually bring these bastards to their knees as the occasional case squeaked through and some juries set good precedents.

SUE THE BASTARDS!
