INNOCENT 9 YEAR OLD SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL FOR CALLING A TEACHER 'CUTE'

THIS IS SO SAD: Yes,you heard it, a poor, innocent, nine year old fourth grader, was immediatly suspended from his school, after calling a teacher 'cute'.
Shocked Chiquita Lockett of Gastonia, N.C., told WSOC-TV of Charlotte, N.C., which first reported the story, that her innocent 9-year-old son, Emanyea, shouldn't have been forced home from Brookside Elementary School.
"It's not like he went up to the woman and tried to grab her or touch her in an innapropriate way," Lockett told WSOC. "So why would he be suspended for two days?"
The Gaston County school district said it couldn't discuss the incident beyond confirming that Emanyea was suspended for "inappropriate behavior" after making "inappropriate statements." PSHH! YA RIGHT! Get a life Gaston County school district! Gee I wonder what's gonna happen next?
Freedom...YA RIGHT! WHERE IS AMERICA?! The 2 biggest things America has lost:
1. freedom
2. COMMON SENSE!!!! Doesn't this make you wanna stand up and say something? Protest? I am losing all my pride for living in america! If we have no freedom, what are our troops fighting for? Now, all of a sudden nine year old innocent boys are getting disciplined for complementing teachers. GGRR!!
I am taking a stand, to try to make our U.S a better place. Please give your opinion in the comment box.(:

Where is our freedom? If are freedom is slowly being taken away, then what are our troops fighting for?

TEEN MISSES FLIGHT DUE TO (not so) "THREATENING" DESIGN ON PURSE

Flying fashionistas with a thing for the second-ammenment may want to leave their gun-themed purses and other paraphernalia at home, lest they be flagged as a security risk and miss their flights. Wow!! Everyone on the plane should be so scared, and so threatened and worried for their safety because “Somebody has a harmless design on their purse!! And it looks like a gun that has been engraved on to that purse from the dollar store!”

As she was innocently flying home after the recent, hectic, holiday weekend, Virginia Gibbs' gun-themed purse was flagged as a major security risk by Transportation Security Administration officials at the Norfolk, Virginia, airport.

While Gibbs told CNN that she's carried the purse on many flights, the 17-year-old says she was told that the purse "was a federal offense because it's in the shape of a toy gun.” I'm like, 'it’s a design on a purse. How is it a federal offense?'  By the time TSA officials figured out that the purse was a fake, (Gee! It probably took the TSA at LEAST an hour to come to conclusion that the design on Gibb’s purse was NOT a real gun!) TSA’s offered Gibbs the opportunity to give up the purse, or check it. But it was too late, the innocent 17 year old Virginia Gibbs, had missed her flight, and was placed on another plane to Orlando. Her worried, and frantic mother drove from Jacksonville to Orlando to pick her “threat to the TSA” daughter up. Oh give us a break! Anyone with one third of a brain could decide in two seconds that’s a toy gun, So, I can see why the TSA would be fooled. The TSA fumbled around and made her miss her flight, then blames her for not showing up six hours early to give the TSA agents enough time to analyze the toy revolver on a tacky purse. Such ignorance and arrogance! TSA scanners are 3D, and the image can be rotated in any direction (for baggage). If it looked like a gun from the side, like the photo, when they rotated it 90º in any direction - they would have seen that it was less than a quarter inch thick. WHAT kind of gun is this? And as soon as it was opened and examined, they would have realized it was made of leather. Some danger!  If she were in Germany she could carry around a gun purse, drive 100 mph, drink a beer, go topless at the beach, or smoke a joint, but she'd miss America, with the most freedom in the world. I am not trying to criticize America…but seriously?! This is the most unbelievable act of injustice I have ever hear of! Do you guys see what is going on in America? Yes, there are lots of robberies, murderers, Serial killers, terrorists, and threats to the people of America. But do you think that a design on a purse that looks like a gun, should cause an innocent citizen of America to miss their flight? And I thought that nothing could get more ridiculous than the teen in Orlando who got a 5-day suspension for hugging in school. Please leave your thoughts below.

Pepper Spray Video):

Ouch!Wow- May God Bless the eyes of those that were pepper sprayed! This really made me mad!!!! Don't use words- use pepper spray. Why can't we remember that people are people and they have feelings too? The University of California, Davis, is launching an investigation into the actions of a police officer who pepper sprayed a group of students. Chancellor Linda Katehi said that she found UC Davis pepper spray incident “chilling” but that she would not stop down as Chancellor.
Katehi wrote in a statement:

“The events of this intervention have been videotaped and widely distributed. As indicated in various videos, the police used pepper spray against the students who were blocking the way. The use of pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this.”

Here’s the video of the incident.

The New York Daily News reports that the students were participating in the “Occupy UC Davis” movement. Chancellor Katehi allowed police on to the campus so that they could remove students who had set up tents in the University’s quad.
From the video, it doesn’t look like the police were threatened in any way. The officer seems perfectly calm as he walks up and down the line of protesters spraying them with pepper spray.
In an open letter to Katehi, Nathan Brown, an assistant professor in the English Department, wrote:

“You are responsible for it because this is what happens when UC Chancellors order police onto our campuses to disperse peaceful protesters through the use of force: students get hurt. Faculty get hurt…. You are responsible for the police violence directed against students on the UC Davis quad on November 18, 2011. As I said, I am writing to hold you responsible and to demand your immediate resignation on these grounds.”

Should Katehi step down as Chancellor? Should the officer in the video be stripped of his badge? This is so sad and so mean- what a bully this "officer" is.

READ THIS AND THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS UN-JUST!

Teens punished for hugging. Wow, yep this is America. Where we have "freedom". Please submit your thoughts and comments on this story, below.

So, in Orlando, Florida, 14 year old Nick Martinez, an honor-roll Southwest Middle School student said he innocently, and briefly hugged his best friend, a female student, between classes, according to WKMG-TV, Orlando. But never did he think the gesture would result in an immediate school-suspension. The principal at Southwest Middle School in Palm Bay, saw the hug and brought the two students to the dean, who issued a one-day in-school suspension.

 

“Honestly, I didn’t know, because I didn’t think hugging was a bad thing. I didn’t know you could get suspended for it,” Martinez told WKMG-TV. “A lot of friends are hugging. I just happened to be the one caught doing it.”

Nick says that he was simply Comforting her, after she broke down in tears,one of her parents had recently passed away. Well apparently Southwest is Drug Free, gun free, and now Hug- free. Coulter’s parents protested but say she was threatened with suspension from school. The 13-year-old is serving her detentions, and promises to stop hugging her friends rather than risking further punishment. Nick is an honor roll student. He just received a certificate of outstanding performance Thursday, signed by the principal. He was shocked when the incident happened.

Protests go global, rampage, tear gas in Rome

Right now in Rome, hundreds of highly dangerous, vicious, hooded, masked protesters rampaged through Rome in some of the most terrifying violence in the Italian capital for years and years, Saturday, madly torching cars and shattering windows during a more huger peaceful protest against elites blamed for economic downturn.

Police repeatedly fired tear gas and water cannon in attempts to disperse them but the clashes with a minority of violent demonstrators stretched into the evening, just hours after tens of thousands of people in Rome joined a global "day of rage" against bankers and politicians.

Sizzling smoke flooded over numerous parts of the chaosed neighborhood between the Colosseum and St John's Basilica, forcing many residents and peaceful demonstrators to race into buildings and churches for shelter as militant protesters ran wild.

After police managed to shove the well-organized radicals away from the St. John's area, they ravaged a major thoroughfare, the Via Merulana — building barricades with garbage cans and setting the netting of the scaffolding of a building flaming, on fire.

Discontent is smoldering in Italy over high unemployment, political paralysis and a whoppin'60 billion euros ($83 billion) of austerity measures that have raised taxes and the cost of health care.

The violence at times resembled urban guerrilla warfare as protesters chucked, and hurled sharp rocks, giant bottles and bursting fireworks at police, who responded by repeatedly charging the demonstrators.

Around 70 people were very injured, according to updated news reports, including one man who tried to force the strange, vicious, dangerous protesters from chucking bottles. It kills me to think that people are this un-caring.

Right now- In New York City, hundreds of protesters, emboldened by the growing national outcry against what they see as the greed of Wall Street, flooded past the fine homes of some of the country's richest, wealthiest residents Tuesday in a "Millionaires March."

Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement stomped along the sidewalks of Manhattan's East Side, along world-famous streets like Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, stopping to jeer "Tax the rich!" and "Where's my bailout?" -Hold on a second- Is this the honest, humble, responsible way to get what we want?

NO it is not. Let's take a look at the next papragraph of this story:

They paused outside buildings where they said media mogul Rupert Murdoch, banker Jamie Dimon and oil tycoon David Koch had homes and expressed concern about how much less the wealthy will pay — and who would be harmed because of those lowered tax revenues — when New York's 2 percent "millionaires' tax" expires in December.

"I have nothing against these people personally; I just think they should pay their fair share of taxes," said Michael Pollack, 52, an office worker in a law firm. (That's reasonable!!!)

Share your Occupy Wall Street story, pictures

He held up a sign with a saying attributed to department store founder Edward Filene: "Why shouldn't the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them." That is not cool.
