  • Not sure if you are being serious or not. Police do not exist in society to protect the people, they exist to protect the rich.

    Any police officer who attempted to arrest one of the richest people would immediately be hit with a lawsuit, likely lose their job within a couple days, and be shunned by the rest of their gang. Not to mention the situation could easily escalate given that most rich people have private guards who are equally armed to defend themselves in case of any Luigi’s.

    Additionally police don’t tend to just go arrest high profile people without a lot of justification for doing so ahead of time, such as an arrest warrant, and lots of paper work.

    If someone went to a police precinct and told them to arrest him, they’d probably first get a good laugh out of the people behind the desk, and then told to leave immediately.

    Yes a child, not a grow adult with the ability to make perfect judgement calls, shot in the direction of his attacker. Then continued to shoot as the attacker was fleeing the scene.

    Don’t be naive, a grown adult who was in a panic in that circumstance would not be viewed as a psychopath, let alone a child.

    As the intruder walked down the stairs, “he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that,” Chris said.

    The final shot hit the man in the leg as he was hopping the fence, the boy said.

    The man was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

    Context is everything and you don’t have any. I’d be mocking the meth head who tried to kill 11 year old me as well. This kid is a hero.



  • While misconduct may have occurred here I have to mention that these rooms are highly important to the safety of these kids.

    At special needs schools you can find many individuals who are having a bad day, and they can be incredibly violent to themselves and those around them. I personally know dozens of women who have come home from work with cuts, bruises, sprains and even broken limbs over the years. And these are people who were all professionally trained to hold the children in a very specific manor to both restrain and not harm them at the same time.

    That doesn’t make it okay to do the things described here, but once it becomes politicized, you can find people who know nothing about the situation making it way worse for everyone.

    An example of an obvious problem here: no one should ever be locked in these rooms, and an aide should always be watching them until they have calmed down from their outburst. The fact that locks even exist on those doors was just a ticking time bomb for something bad to happen to a child.

    My grandfather is/was an electrician for over 60 years. Worked on very important projects in New York City. This rubbed off on me growing up. I spent much of my childhood taking things apart, figuring out how they worked, and putting them back together how I liked. I’ve been working on both hardware and software since I was 11. Had the privilege to study CS formally in high school, and Computer Engineering in university.

    Good timing mostly got me into farming, especially since interest rates fell to the floor during the pandemic. Had enough to buy the acreage I wanted, and the wife was interested in helping out. We grow a variety of things now, and not just plants. For example we sell Honey, Soaps, Walnuts, and Mushrooms. It can be hard on the body to be so active all the time, but it is more satisfying than a monitor staring back at you at 3am because of some small incident.

    I continue to tinker, and assist startups in my spare time, I can’t imagine I will ever stop programming.
