Rogue Cops Stormed Uvalde Classroom After Child Called 911 to Say Teacher Was Alive -Getty The officers who eventually stormed a classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, bringing the massacre to an end, did so after a student inside the room called 911 to say one of her two teachers had been shot but was still alive, The New York Times reports. Those officers went against the orders of school district police chief and onsite commander Pete Arredondo, and one could even hear a command in his earpiece not to breach as he moved towards the classroom. Arredondo arrived on the scene minutes after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos but he had no police radio and decided almost immediately that it was no longer an active shooter situation. He used his cellphone to call a police landline to relay that and ask for backup. But students kept calling 911 for help, including 10-year-old Khloie Torres, who told a dispatcher at 12:10 p.m.—37 minutes after Ramos started shooting inside the school—that her teacher was “shot but still alive.” The room was not breached until 12:50 p.m.

Because nothing promotes learning like an AR15 in the classroom. There is a traumatized generation being created in the US that will grow up to be fearful, reactive trigger-happy adults in about 25 years. It will be a series of bloodbaths culminating in a dictatorship which will promise to create and sustain "law and order"- mostly in core areas of cities and predominantly coloured communities.

I found out that grief is not restricted to losing someone out of your life. It also occurs when our childhood is stolen from us, betrayals, and losing the vitality that comes from aging. I am not the same person I was before Mo died. I think and hope that I am now more empathic and gentle with people I see who have been deeply bruised by life's traumas. And there is scar tissue but life carries us onward. The pain has passed, but I still am grateful for having had and miss her presence. We are given memory that we might have roses in winter. I have been fortunate in finding a wonderful woman who is willing to put up with me. It is not the same relationships as we had with our deceased spouses, but we care about and for each other.

Many men suffer from depression and others mental stressors and are expected to suck it up because we are supposed to weather everything life throws at us without complaint or pause. There is a good reason that men are three times more likely to make suicidal gestures than women because of this macho image crap. When my wife, the light of my life died, I really struggled. It was the worst time of my life and the one person I would have wanted most to have with me was absent and beyond my reach. Even with all my training and experience I spiraled down into an abyss. I was more fortunate than many- I had concerned, loving friends and family, professional connections and despite all these, I was afraid to fill out a prescription for the Triazolam my doctor friend and colleague wrote for me. Depression is a lonely journey at the best of times and if we are afraid of admitting we cannot handle things and reach out, it is a lot worse.

Utah County attorney calls for investigation, sheriff's resignation PROVO, Utah (KUTV) — Utah County Attorney David Leavitt has called for the resignation of Sheriff Mike Smith, and calling for an investigation into his activities. Leavitt made the demands at a news conference held Wednesday. He accused the sheriff of misuse of taxpayer and county resources. The county attorney spoke out in response to a press release sent by the sheriff’s office Tuesday, asking for help to identify victims of a “ritualistic child sexual abuse” and child sex trafficking ring dating from 1990 to 2010. Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said the case began in April 2021 when a victim came forward to report abuse. "The ensuing investigation discovered that other victims had previously reported similar forms of ritualistic sexual abuse and trafficking that occurred in Utah County, Juab County, and Sanpete County," Cannon said. "We’re concerned about things that may have happened decades ago, but we’re also receiving information that leads us to believe things have happened more recently.” In their release, the sheriff’s office said parts of the allegations had already been confirmed. They pled for additional victims or people with knowledge of the allegations to come forward. "We understand that there are individuals who have concerns for their safety and/or well-being, who have been silenced,” the release said. “We need your help." He claimed is stems from a discredited case in the 1990s that involved accusations of ritualistic abuse against more than a dozen community members -- including he and his wife. Leavitt said those accusations included child cannibalism, among others. He challenged Sheriff Smith to provide information to vindicate himself against his claim the investigation was part of a smear campaign to keep Leavitt from getting reelected, and to resign if there was a connection. https://www.thedailybeast.com/utah-county-gripped-by-accusations-of-phony-murder-and-cannibalization-of-kids?ref=home- Canadian Politics

As usual, but this year it seems to be much worse than usual, it all comes down to the quarterbacking. As has been already posted, there is a dearth of good QBs in the CFL at present, and upon reflection, that was true last year as well. There is no easy fix for this. The only possible answer is to allow teams to keep another quarterback as a development project outside of the regular roster.- BC @ CAL Preseason Week 1
