This is why some US Americans want armed teachers ?

To shoot back at 6 year olds ?

This boy choked someone and shot someone else before turning 7. Maybe a psychiatric hospital should be his home.

Kage520 , in Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch

We need different terms for people who HAVE a million dollars and people who MAKE a million per year. Lots of people will read this millionaire's tax and think it will apply to them when they are nearing retirement since they finally have a million dollars after saving all their life.

moody , in Entire police department in Minnesota resigns

I generally agree with the ACAB sentiment, but they were being paid $22 an hour which is a pittance. I wouldn't do the job for that salary either.

Madison420 ,

Pay depends on the area, if everyone else is making 13 then 22 is a kings salary. Should it work that way at this point? No but it does and being a cop statistically is less dangerous than my job.

No "basically" about it.

It sucks that this is overshadowing their win. Spain should be celebrating their championship, not dealing with this dude. Just step down.

SuddenDownpour ,

Imagine marking the goal that seals the championship, and even right before your mind fully assimilates the celebration you have ahead, some idiot with authority over you comes and ruins it without absolutely nobody asking for it.

Let's be real about this. It's a pretty obvious inference that he's done sexist and gross shit before. Just that this time, there isn't no he said she said to hide behind. No wonder he thinks it's social assassination, he's been getting away with this shit, why shouldn't he now?

Llewellyn ,

I'll give him benefit of doubt. Would he done this in front of public if he thought it was an act of harassment?

meowgenau ,

Him thinking that this shit is okay does not make the situation better.

Llewellyn ,

It makes him a rude idiot instead of sexual predator

rambaroo ,

Rude? This is beyond rude. The fact that you think grabbing random people and forcibly kissing them is only "rude" says a fucking lot.

I wonder how men who defend this behavior would feel if it were gay men doing it to them instead. Actually I don't wonder, I know exactly how they'd react.

Oh yes, let's go back to 1945 for my defence.

Rusticus , in Spanish Women’s Squad Refuses to Play Until Soccer Chief Resigns

Everybody here knows that 15 players protested the cruel actions of their coach a few months ago and were......left off the team. Right? 3 apologized and were allowed back on the team. There is a history of misogyny on this team before this incident. The culture in Spanish soccer is rotten to the core.

Llewellyn ,

I'm sorry, but *football. Spain is outside of USA.

MechanicalJester ,

I'm sorry, but *fútbol. La gente de España hablan español

yetAnotherUser ,

Not necessarily, there's regional languages such as Catalan. The phrase is kinda iffy considering what Spanish nationalists think of those languages.

Unimperfect ,

La gente de España *habla español.

Rich men in power sexually harassing numerous women in the workplace? Who would have thought this would happen? /s

I wish the fair employment laws were truly upheld, but as long as there are too many men in power this won't happen. Fuck, the US can barely conceive of the idea of a female president.

Taohumor ,

Boys grow up powerless so when they become men and they get a taste of power they might just abuse it if they experienced nothing but power being abused against them.

I don't abuse women but I've had a lot of women abuse me. One of my earliest experiences with a woman in high school was sexual assault and coercion. I didn't even have the language for it at the time because you were taught men do that to women not the other way around, and also later that it makes you gay if you're a male victim of abuse. If someone who experienced just a bit worse than me and also didn't have anyone in their life they could trust then yea power will be your only friend and everyone else is an enemy or tool.

That's karma

Kecessa , in Women Say Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Are Rife in Group for Realtors

A Canadian agent had sexual relationships with clients by promising it would land them the house they wanted. If it was a couple he would contact the woman and promise hier the house they wanted in exchange for sex...

Kind of on her if she acts on it cuz that's low

wishthane , in Texas drunk drivers will now have to pay child support if they kill a parent, guardian

Punishing drunk drivers is well-deserved, but as long as car-dependent infrastructure encourages drunk driving, it is considerably more difficult to actually decrease the rate of it. Taking a taxi is expensive and being a DD is no fun, so people take stupid risks. If you know you can take public transit home, there's no reason to take such a risk at all.

NightAuthor ,

This honestly reads like a defense of drunk driving, blaming the lack of infrastructure for bad decision.

Edit: or something very close to that.

But if you’re just saying we should design around stupid, then I guess I can agree there.

eltrain123 ,

…as long as you totally ignore the opening statement

NightAuthor ,

“No offense, but you’re fucking stupid.”

Like that kind of thing?

thepianistfroggollum ,

Anything said before the word 'but' can be ignored in these instances.
