Quote from above article: From what I’ve read, many of the absurdities that are blamed on Zero Tolerance seem to come from officers who don’t understand that one has to have intent to commit a crime. It’s not a crime to negligently bring a knife to school, and trying to turn it in to school officials shows that the person didn’t have intent. I agree NewsJunky, Zero tolerance needs to change and that change is long over due. This is something I read earlier today and couldn't agree more: “This is about putting the decisions back in the hands of the educators,” said Sen.

She definitely did an amazing job on an amazing song!! Good luck Mina!!!!!

Anyone listening to the scanner??

Awesome testimonial. Thanks for sharing the video Joe.

I remember as well. R.I.P. Deputy Gammill.

That's funny. Same here. Seems like the older I get, the harder it is to remember mine. It's like it's just beyond my grasp, and the harder I try to remember, the quicker it goes.

Fervently praying for Anna and her family!!!

Oh my. I hadn't heard this. R.I.P Mr. Langley.

Great post PsychoMom!!

I was wondering this also.

Crystal, I'm glad reading this thread helps you, even if just a little. Prayers for comfort for all of you!!!!

Chrystal, I too am at a loss for words. Prayers for peace and comfort are continuing for you and James. Mona, Eddie, Lauren & Morgan

My heart goes out to Chrystal and James as well as his grandparents. James, you were such a joy to be around. Rest in peace little man.

Any idea if a guy named Isaiah Fitzgerald helps out with the BBQ?? He use to have a BBQ place at 92/278 a few years ago and it was delicious!!!!

Oh my! I had no idea he still lived there. I did know his stepdad had died but I had no idea how. I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers that everyone got out ok. I also hope the house isn't a total loss. Just saw your post HM that it is a total loss. Did everyone get out ok??

Tbird, you said Tommy, is this Tommy W. ??

Story said the child was FOUND at 1:15 AM. Doesn't mean that's when she got out. Wonder how long she had actually been outside?

I really hate to hear this. Prayers for the family Keown family.

Great post!!

I agree completely with involuntary manslaughter, but believe cruelty to children should have been added as well. I wanted to find something with a little more to the story than WSB gave. I found this: http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/boy-i-didn-t-234258.html?cxtype=rss_news_81960 "A Cobb County Juvenile Court judge spent Wednesday night listening to a tape of the boy change his story several times about how the infant ended up brain dead and with multiple skull fractures. The boy's mother is shown on the tape telling the boy he could not go home until he told police the t

I have been so angry over this. The judge says the state didn't prove malice???????? This tiny, innocent, defenseless 5 week old infant had not one but MULTIPLE skull fractures!!!!! Ok, I'm mad all over again!!!

:wub:

These days, money is tight for almost everyone. Maybe consider "drawing names". My parents suggested this once we were all married and it worked really well.
