Half the school board thinks Keith deserves a third chance (that’s right, not his first time making inappropriate comments to a child).

They say only he can decide if he wants to step down. They did vote in favor of censuring him. The rest of the school board members that laughed during the comment and touching of a child faced no repercussion. Some even pretended to be offended during the emergency hearing.

      These are the same people who see rape and murder as the same levelof sin as being gay. I was raised around that type of bs.

      “i dont hate you for being gay, its just your burden. Like johnny is pedo, and pam is a murderer, and frank is a thief. We’re all sinners and its not our place to judge”

      i wish i was kidding…

      Idk why punching people in the US is treated exactly as bad as shooting people but its stupid to think a bloody lip is the same as like a bullet hole.

        might have something to do with the fact that when you punch someone, they can shoot back. but yeah, i agree that this person should be handled by the community. i would think that the kid has a father and he has some friends…?

        Idk, but somebody who does shit like he did definitely deserves a few guys taking them out back behind the building to give them a real good beating.

        If saying that makes me “exactly as bad” as them then so be it, I’ll be the bad guy and take one for the team. 💪

      “Exactly as horrible” is unfair to you. But it sounds like you’re advocating to give up on rule of law and just have the strongest most violent people be the ones to decide what’s right. And I’d argue that you’d just get back to where we are right now: wealthy people would control the system, they’d employ strong violent people to enforce their personal whims as “law”, and you’d be complaining that nobody is willing to beat up the pedophile (because his friends would hire goons to kill them).

      I mean, presumably that’s what’s stopping you personally from implementing your own recommendation, right? Because if you showed up and kicked this guy’s ass you’d be beaten and arrested by the police.

        oh no, I’m a leftist. the plan is to murder the rich people. then they can’t do anything to stop you. I’m a big fan of a firing squad, but one of the other AN admins suggested slow roasting over a fire. I’m also partial to putting them on wooden stakes like Vlad the Impaler, but we can figure it out as as we purge them, I suppose. maybe a little bit of everything?
