nawlins: terrorists & communists receiving paychecks from the taxpayers should not be able to impose their will, corrupt the minds of young/impressionable students & refuse to allow students the opportunity to explore all aspects of an issue via the advent of diverse opinions are rendering a grave disservice to everyone in the community by pedaling their poisonous "Progressive" propaganda which promotes activities which are detrimental to our society!

Rocko Strongo: I completely agree with your assessment, all of America heard Obama's intentions in regard to his future agenda when he whispered his little aside to Medvedev! Now, once again the Democrats, along with their complicit & compliant cohorts in this so-called MSM, will attempt to blow smoke up our collective skirt, while assuring us that its really sunshine!

Good night, all! Hopefully, we'll hear some good news about our newest "little Marine" being welcomed into the world in an email! I'll say some more prayers!

DD: They probably fell off a boat, right?

DD: I so agree that all school bus drivers should have the option to undergo extra training to conceal carry!! The worst part of that whole attack was in being able to hear the helpless tone of the school bus driver begging our bus dispatcher for help, as she related the sequence of events--the dispatcher was being her helpful self & didn't even call 911 until the attack was well under way. The worst of it was, the bus driver had reported trouble at this particular stop on the route & had asked that the safety & security personnel be dispatched to the area to witness what was going on--of course that didn't happen. The driver had to use her own cell phone to call for help, as the dispatcher dithered.

Mac: Of course Kevin is! What exactly are the Democrats doing, specifically, to address any of the issues that affect the "black community"? They lump all blacks together as a monolithic voting bloc & operate under the assumption of ownership of those votes, while black families continue to struggle as a result of policies that adversely affect them on a greater scale: higher unemployment, rising food costs, sky-rocketing energy bills, foreclosures, an exponential rise in vacant &/or abandoned homes in their neighborhoods, failing schools & an exceedingly bleak future for our nation's children.

Ms. Kelly: In answer to your question, the entire episode did not occur "during a school activity", & banning cell phone use did nothing to address the tragic situation that occurred--it was just a meaningless gesture made in order to maintain a semblance of "doing something" to address the horrific incident that occurred. We were truly fortunate & have only God to thank that the student attacked did not die, as a result of the severe injuries he received at the hands of the "rival gang members" that day. Of course, nothing meaningful has been done to address the serious issues that were left unresolved.

Kevin: They were all black; the young (14 year old) female that blocked the bus from driving down the street in order to facilitate the attack was apparently operating under the (mistaken) assumption that she was too young to be charged with a crime--she reportedly told the police that they "could not touch her", as they handcuffed her. Word is, all were members of a "rival gang" & the offending teen on the bus was "guilty" of wearing the "wrong colors" in the neighborhood. Of course, city officials tried to deny t that there was a "gang problem" . . .

Cont'd: back door of the bus. He was subsequently assaulted & beaten, with the worst injuries occurring from large concrete blocks & bricks being dropped on his body, breaking both his thighs & 1 of his ankles. The student's mother subsequently received a large undisclosed pay- out from the school board & no further information has been released. Now, as a result, cell- phone usage during any school activities is prohibited.
