Last week was a bad week - albeit a short week - for the LA schools.

One young man brought his backpack to class and set it down a bit too hard - causing the loaded handgun in it to discharge - grazing one classmate in the neck and causing a critical head wound to another.

A run of the mill "bring your handgun to school" at another campus and a school cop who responded to a call about some riffraff breaking into cars. He was surprised by the bad guy's "one shot to the chest greeting" but thankfully, was saved by his body armor.

The bad guy was thought to have run onto another school campus. The school was on lock down for hours while 350 cops searched the area.

Three "lock downs" in a week. How sad. I remember fire drills and tornado drills and even - during the Cuba Missile Crisis - Nuclear Attach Drills.

Now students learn about lock downs and metal detectors and body armor. The "enemy from within" instead of the "enemy from outside."

Good training I suppose for going to the Safeway.

Odd. Just as I cannot imagine making jokes about Christina Taylor Green, I struggle to find the humor in the violence school children in LA are experiencing.


Guess I just don't see the "funny" in children being shot.

Sign up the Chicago Public Schools too...

Public Schools CEO (Ron) Huberman says this year was slightly safer for students. 218 student shootings were reported this school year compared to 258 last year. Thirty two students were killed last school year, 27 this school year.

This year is safer?! Are you kidding me? Students are getting killed here! This is just wrong. In some neighborhoods it seems like body armor is what it would take to get them safely to and from school. They're getting shot on the streets, they are getting shot on their porches, in cars and even in their homes. They're not safe indoors, let alone outdoors. It's sad and scary.

That is way out of line; even for you, Richard.

That is way out of line; even for you, Richard.

Should I have posted the site to Hard Corps or Second Chance?

For the record?

It's not bullet proof, it's bullet resistant and you can stab a person, wearing a Kevlar vest, with a knife.

The LAUSD cop that was shot didn't respond to a call, he was on patrol and caught the guy in the act.

The Accidental Shooter is going to be charged with bringing a gun onto campus - NOT FOR SHOOTING the two kids.

A rep for the school/PD made that statement on Friday.

The effing rules give knuckleheads like that a free pass, just like giving ALL THE KIDS on the t-ball team a trophy after the season is over.

Two other students were also arrested for helping Bat Masterson change his clothes and give him a packpack so he could try to get off campus.

Not very smart when you have your homework with your name inside the BP w/your gun.

Nothing like this EVER happens in Orange County.

Good article, liz.

Thought this summed it up quite well -

“The novel standard adopted by the appellate court majority is without any foundation in Illinois law,’’ the Supreme Court’s ruling said.

[RICHARD]

When you look at all the eff ups in Chi Town politics, why shouldn't Rahm get on the ballot.


One set of rules for the people, Crybabies pay lawyers.

And to think I was embarrassed about CA politics.

The fat lady is just as crooked as the politicians.

Actually RICHARD, Emanuels lawyers had a better argument. However Rahm's a wussy for not running a write in campaign.

Rahm was my Congressperson. I met him...he came to my house...introduced himself...a guy who really understands politics.

But when you think how...what would describe it...anti-American? the decision would have been...if you go to serve your country - you give up your residency rights...well...let's see...if I go to Iraq or Afganistan to serve my country - and rent out my house - with every intention of returning...I give up my residency. Where then do I live?

You don't have to like politicians.... you don't have to like the military...but when someone goes to serve their country - they should not have to give up their residency - their existence - be punished -- because they choose to serve.

I wish I could count the number of times people say to me..."Chicago! The Windy City ...the windiest city in the country!"

Chicago is the 19th windiest city in the US. Cheyenne Wyoming is the windiest. But some people grab onto silly myths - because it is easy. And they say silly things. But let's forgive them. Silly myths can be fun.

So why is Chicago called the Windy City??...it was given that nickname by a New York newspaper in the late 1800's - because of the wordiness of its politicians - and the nickname stuck!
