L.A. teacher charged with lewd acts on 23 children (Content may be disturbing for some readers)

This is so foul on so many levels, but the saddest part, nobody noticed anything for 30 years!

30 years of parents not listening to their children. 30 years of faculty walking by the classroom and not noticing anything unusual. Children in a classroom bound, and blind-folded, and not once did anyone ask why he did that for 30 years.

There is no earthly excuse for letting this happen for so long. What this sick, twisted monster did is bad enough, but what the parents, and faculty did not do, by simply listening to what these children said, is beyond pathetic. Asking your child how was school today? And finding out they sat in a classroom bound, and blind-folded, being fed something. If that isn't the biggest alarm bell in the entire universe? Well, you should be deeply, deeply ashamed.

23 is just the tip of the iceberg. This fiend was there for 3 decades. God only knows how many more he's done this foul, and horrendous act upon.

Now you know why we have budget problems.


You cannot sit on your ass, and tell people they have to cut back, or lose benefits when you will not lift a finger to show some kind of leadership, and do it first.

This is a great lesson for all politicians. Never hire ass-clown family members for public positions.

When you really think about such positions being given out, one could equate it to a big middle finger at the constituents. I'm very sure somewhere, someplace in the town of Cicero, there is a person with much higher standards, and values fully qualified for this job. Yet, this ass-clown gets the nod.

You have to give it up to this gentleman because he's spot on about the people getting left out.

Excellent job sir.

This is the end result when you cut and gut Mental Health funding.

For this unstable individual to even say "We play like this all the time", someone should have picked up a phone years ago, and had this person under evaluation.

What else can one say? No need to go on rants, name calling, or even pointing out there are more like this individual across the country. Our politicians need to think twice before slashing Mental Health funding. It's only going to get worse.

Surprised?

As for myself, nope. Hell, I'll even bet there are more that "Came up Short".

Well you knew it was coming, and buddy, this will not look pretty for those knuckleheads running around on the streets.

Yet in the end, this is what happens when you take employment opportunities away from cities and towns. No job? Turn too crime. Yes they do have a choice. But when you put road-block, after road-block in the way of already economically depressed neighborhoods, primordial survival instinct takes over.

Case in point. When "Affordable Housing" became the status norm, Father's were banished from the home because of "Income Restrictions". Hence, the explosion of "Single Parent homes", and undisciplined children. One would think, this income restricting, was nothing more than an attempt at breaking up families, and guess what, it worked. When this "Policy" was implemented, incarceration rates began to soar. Any analyst can go back and look at the numbers. They are there, and factually correct. The problem is, there is no "National Discussion" about this subject.

When speaking of certain "Road-Blocks", if any young people happen to come across this, there was a time, decades ago, when all one needed was a "High School Diploma" just to become a police officer in the city of Chicago. Not anymore. Why? Just to keep certain ethnic groups out. Back then, with a high school diploma, once you passed the written, and physical test, off you went too the academy for "Training". Even with a degree these days, you still go too the academy. So what's the point of an education restriction?

Back to affordable housing. Doesn't it make sense if the rent rates were based on what the top bread-winner earned, and didn't break up families? Take two families for instance. They are both in the same housing complex, where one family makes less than the other. They both have the same amenities, but the family that does make more can afford to pay extra in rent, with no loss in amenities. As the family that makes less, sees an income boost, the rent is adjusted accordingly. Makes sense right?

Sadly, we all know common sense to such an approach is unlikely. So for now, a simple crackdown is the only approach. So get your camera phones ready for the running of the knuckleheads, because we all knew this was coming.
