They tazered a student at my sons school today

[Johnny]

Don't spank your children, let them run wild until they need to be tazered by the cops, the government will handle things, trust them.

 

 

So sad and so true.

about what it might have come down to, the kid thought he could act up to no end and nobody could touch him, he found out the hard way there are people who can legally take care of his outburst and it would really hurt bad.

[Pyraxis]

Yeah, I was thinking of it in a general sense - kids being force-fed safety, I suppose because of the threat of lawsuits, and then not breaking out until near the time they're legally allowed to, at which point the state ends up doing the job the parents didn't do. The trend towards government authority (I don't know the right term for it, but basically people shutting up and toeing the line, and discipline being institutionalized) is disturbing.

one of the kids I grew up with many years ago got pretty full off himself is his late teens, really had become an asshole until one night at the local hangout park drinking spot some biker punched him in the face, it was amazing to see the change in him after that. The punk was gone, it got knocked right out of him. Type of kid who had a bunch of older brothers and got away with mouthing off to people because between his brothers and the group he had fallen in with no kid would touch him knowing his boys or brothers would seek out revenge. His boys and brothers weren't going to take on a bunch of bikers.

Today is another story with kids and young people more than willing to open fire.

Very disturbing indeed

It's called "the Panopticon syndrome", after the first prison where the guards could overview all the prisoners at the same time from a central guard point; the prisoners began to "correct" themselves without the guards telling them to do so. Many of them also became insane, 

[punkdrew]

the Panopticon system was created by the British philosopher/social theorist Jeremy Bentham, who thought it would bring about more humane treatment of prisoners. To quote my favorite character from the animated series 2 STUPID DOGS: "Heh, heh, heh. Isn't that cute. BUT IT'S WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Last week in my city, a 15 year old boy wielding 2 kitcken knives was killed by police. He was shot 6 or 7 times in the torso after capsicum foam failed to subdue him.

Be thankful you have tasers!

We have tasers, but it did not save Paul Childs, a 15 year old developmentally disabled boy who was shot and killed a few years ago by a Denver policeman for failing to follow his instructions to put down a kitchen knife, even though there were two officers armed with tasers on the scene.

I think I rememebr that story. The bastards just don't listen.

Even we can't always trust the police if we are having a problem with our disabled kids.

It's Christmas - time for killing pigs.

Wisdom, SG.

This is why I have had so much trouble deciding the course, when asked to register my kids in the statewide autism registry.

I instaantly think it's a bad idea, but then I read of moer shit like this.

I have not registered them and I am not worried about myself, due to extensive experience in these areas, but what TF if?

[TheoK]

Don't register them. They can get problems in the future just for being in that register.

I am quite paranoid as well and it comes instantly when encountering these types of "Do Good" efforts.

There will be a time when I am not there, once the little wingers learn to fly on their own, and I have to know that I have given them all the tools they need to survive.
It's damn tough to know when you're done with certain "Padawan" lessons.

You can't trust the pigs period. They'll take even the most innocuous statement and twist it so you look like a wifebeater or worse.
