Can I practice on my neighbor first?

Btw, the hoods I know are as integrated as it gets (still not the best idea to go into the old segregated ones for the most part) (particularly dressed like McClane in Die Hard 3).

Black, yellow, red, white, all beat daily from day 1

"The beatings will continue until morale improves."

A coworker has that on a bumper sticker.

I always liked "Dial 911...make a cop come".

Not that I would have one myself.

I still don't see how this all amounts to a well regulated militia....
It's called freedom, and as for the well regulated militia, why don't you get a group of Canucks together and attack Detroit. I'm sure it would shorten the learning curve for ya.

Well it seems that bullying was not part of the equation as the perp did not even go to that school but one several miles away. He also told the police that he just picked targets at random. He is one sick puppy.

Ach. So the kid I spoke to was wrong.

The news here will make you sick, they can't keep their cameras out of anywhere for any reason.

Chardon is a very nice place and not uber-wealthy, but the hub for a very prosperous area. If you ask anyone around here they would say, I've heard it's a great place to live. My heart goes out to those folks.

The police sure seemed to have done a great job.

I guess it's a good thing I decided not to be a psychology major. I cannot begin to fathom what goes on in the mind of one who would engage in random killing, nor can I discern what goes on in the mind of a ruler who would turn tanks and heavy artillery on civilians. I can't understand what went on in that school or what goes on in Syria (or Libya or Yemen, or Saudia Arabia for that matter (capital punishment for heresy?)).

Regards,

D-Ray
