This reminds me of a sign I once saw on a burger joint decades ago. It said:
"Best Burgers on…Read More Earth"

Good collar by the PD and good riddance. But I doubt these three will ever make restitution for the…Read More damage they did.
I remember back in the 1970s when a group of three teenage boys went around La Mesa shooting out windows with a pellet gun. By the time they were caught they had done at least $50,000 worth of damage. In those days that was enough money to buy a house.

So La Mesa is a crime- ridden ghetto...??? Never hear that before...!!! Been there a few times…Read More didn't seem that Bad...!!!

So, they are going to turn UTC into a crime-ridden ghetto just like La Mesa?
Freeways are the best…Read More transprotation system ever invented. You can go anywhere you want to go anytime of the day or night.
The Constitution provides freedom on paper. The automobile companies, oil companies and freeway system provide freedom in practice.
If you use the trolley you can only go where they go and only during their hours of operation, a 10pm transportation curfew.
The trolley system relies on gasoline tax revenue to exist. Once all the cars are off the road how will the trolley system support itself? It doesn't even bring in enough ticket revenue to pay for the broken windows. (There is a section of track in Logan Heights called "The Horseshoe" where rock throwing is a nightly occurence).

Not a huge surprise. Malarkey's restaurant was expensive and not that great. Just wish that Gordon…Read More would/could reopen his restaurant. Plk

What I'm saying is that if someone complained while the students were filming the video on school…Read More property, THAT'S harassment. Watching a youtube video where "twerking" is in the title is like having a video that says "naked body parts" in the title and saying "Umphh, I'm offended that I watched a video that showed skin." JUST CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!! DON'T WATCH IT!!! If they played this in the school on a tv in the main office area where unsuspecting folks could see it, that's a legitimate sexual harassment case.
Now, the "humping a wall" is kind of silly. I think it's stupid but if this is the worst thing they've done, cut them some slack. They probably won't do this again. Strange that the video is still up on youtube so apparently the lords of youtube don't see it as being extreme.
My opinion is that the school is embarrassed, the kids used school equipment to film it, and the school can't think of anything legitimate to chastise them so they're going to label them as sexual deviants, a charge that will be on their permanent record. Suspending them for two days is fine. They deserve some punishment for filming using school equipment on school grounds (unless the person who gave them the camera was a school employee and knew what was going on, in which case he/she should be suspended for a month). Hopefully their parents are giving them more grief than the school ever could.
Now if one of them had eaten a pop tart into the shape of a gun, we could have locked them up for life!

At what point does public exposure become indecent?
Is humping a wall considered an artful…Read More expression with free speech implications? Is this the level of morality we want our children to express and be exposed to?
I have no answers, just questions.

I don't understand this "sexual harassment" thing. Who was harassed? The students making…Read More the video wouldn't complain. If you watched the video on youtube, you "volunteered" to watch it. If you saw the video on TV, the TV station should be responsible for showing "harassing" material. That's like going into an F-Street bookstore (RIP) and claiming you're harassed by what they sell.

But Eric, if keeping the front page fresh is the object why is the drowned toddler story still up…Read More with a new date on it?
That story had zero comments and it remains, this story with more comments than any other since the change in format ( with the exception of the how do you like it? article) is relegated to the back pages.
Yesterday there were too older stories, including the drownings, on the front page when this one was pulled.
Sorry Eric, but it looked fishy to me too.

bummer for the Mayor -$300 for air travel to Vegas was that for a private jet?

1) Yes, "other stuff is is going on." But,...
2) No, "It's [not] bad business"…Read More to continue to give front page placement to a story that,...
A) Contains greater inherent editorial content, and,...
B) Garners greater reader interest and feedback.
Always willing and able to set your opinion straight. :)
