And the rest of us. Not an unintended consequence.

I read lawyers’ extremely biased assertions.

AFAIK, no one has been expelled based on only an allegation of sexual assault. If student A reports a sexual assault to the school, the school is obligated to investigate and take appropriate action. This may be expulsion. It may involve finding a way to separate the purported assailant from...

Gifting this article and posting it here because it is a good example of the fact that this administration has its head up its ass re: women, families and healthcare ( and everything else) plus is an excellent example of the rural-urban divide. Nice to see laud plain that this is not an...

Genuinely, aspirin and other OTC meds can interfere with coagulation and increase bruising. Younger generations would think that Trump could at least hire someone competent t to fake his tan and hide his bruises.

Again, you are relying entirely upon the reports of the defendant’s lawyers. The story is entirely his POV—and his legal team’s. From her perspective, she might have been calling her boyfriend for help when she found herself inebriated and unable to function as she needed to—advocate for...

Exactly what do you fail to comprehend about the CDC statement that firearms No one, afaik, has asserted that ALL school shooters are white or make. But the overwhelming majority of school shooters are males and a majority are white. The only reason that is of any importance in this...

This thread, however is specific to school shootings.

Guns are sold because there is a market for them. Guns are used, as you state, for sport and for emergency need. You neatly euphemism both: for hunting and target shooting and for self defense. Only an absolute idiot dies not acknowledge that guns are used for killing. That is their intended...

No, I’m pretty sure that the title of this thread is specifically about mass shootings at schools. You and Loren like to talk about shootings that are specifically related to other criminal activity so that you have an opportunity to talk about how violent not white people are. I genuinely do...

I’ve also separated out mass shootings the way most people think of them: school shootings, shootings at houses of worship, concerts, shopping malls, concerts, etc. where almost all of the shooters have been white and male. You use the definition of four or more victims, which, aside from the...

School shootings are unique in that the victims( children) cannot by any reasonable standards be called responsible for the anger/perversity/whatever that drives school shooters. Gang shootings are more easily traced as being motivated by some action/inaction of the victims.

I did not say that men or white men were the biggest problem. I did point out that most mass shootings of schools, churches, clubs, malls and concerts were committed by white males. That’s just a statement of statistics not an assignment of blame. If we include the typical mass shooting...

As a matter of fact, when any person using their physical powers to coerce sex from another person, it is a crime. It’s called rape. It’s illegal in every state. Sometimes, using wealth and positions of power to coerce sex is also a crime. Ask Harvey Weinstein. In other instances, it may...

I think allegations of rape should be investigated by police and prosecuted when charges are warranted.

I wonder what the world would look like if for a week or a month or a school term, men were subjected to the types of harassment and threat of assault and actual assault women routinely are subjected to.

Unlike you, I am not blaming any demographic group. I merely did a quick search for the demographics of Minnesota and reported them here. The fact is that most violent crime in the US ( and world) is committed by males.

For someone like you, there is no level of evidence that would constitute proof.

If it happens once: that even one person is shot by a police officer who mistook a cell phone or a paper lip or a pen or anything at all fir a gun, thst is too many times, no matter the complexion of any of the parties. Police mistaking ( or ‘mistaking’ a cell phone in the hands of black...

You did not define false allegation.
