Stupid Sunday: 9/30/2012

Its interesting given the fact that my first article that I was going to talk about was never published in The Hawk Eye.  I'm only assuming that the paper is covering up much of this ordeal.

http://theintelhub.com/2012/09/27/9-year-old-autistic-child-beat-up-by-police-then-arrested-for-aggravated-battery-to-a-police-officer/

My take on it:

First, my take on the fact that The Hawk Eye never covered this police brutality story about a local child that was assaulted by an officer.  Given the fact that this has been publicized for a few days, there is no excuse why this story was never run.  

For the teachers that reported it, that was stupid of them to do.  If the kid has a tendency in doing that, how did the teachers use to take care of the issue in the past?  Calling for an officer for help is downright idiotic.  Find a different way to deal with a student rather than calling the police on them for something like this.  Hell, this is even a special education class, which that stuff may happen in the past or even the present with other students.  What's worse out of all of this is the fact that the teachers never told the mother about what had happened to his son, where he was at, etc.  The mother would be worried sick if no one gives her any notice of his whereabouts.

As for Police Chief Robert Copley, he's a complete idiotic moron when it came to attacking the kid like that and then having the kid go through all that mess.

I hope to God this piece of filth of an officer is punished for his actions.  I hope the mother files a suit against this idiot of an officer.

If you feel like telling this officer your thoughts and opinions of the situation, his contact is found on the Qunicy Police Department's website.  http://www.ci.quincy.il.us/police/contact.htm

Story:

Here's the article from The Hawk Eye.  http://www.thehawkeye.com/story/Vehicular-homcide-021312

My take on it:

Levi did a stupid thing, thinking that he would get away with it scott free.  Not only he was trying to outrun the cops, he also risked the lives of others on the road.  He even had his best friend killed as a result.  

After reading the hearing information from the article, I thought it was best that he was convinced rather than running free in fear that he would do it again.  

Stupid Sunday

I decided to have Stupid Sundays too given the fact that there are plenty of stupid individuals in the local area.

Stupid Saturday: 9/29/2012

My take on it:

What I don't understand is this: How could a mother forget their child outside nearby a vehicle if she was leaving him/her alone on the property?  There were no details about the father or anyone else that would have watched this child properly.  Not only that, she didn't bring the child with him seeing that she already knows that this kid can walk.  Why leave the child alone on the property if there was no one that could prevent the incident or if a kidnapping were to happen?

Another thing that I was thinking was why she wasn't looking behind her as she was backing up?  Was she in a hurry?  We don't know the answers to these questions, but its a tragic that a mother of her age was too irresponsible to take care of a child.

I'm betting that Department of Human services would  be involved after this incident was published in the paper.  After all, the mother has another child that she is taking care of.

My take on it:

I don't understand how the mother was able to detect that the loan the daughter was looking at was fake, but didn't take the $1500 scam seriously.  Having a scam asking to pay for $1500 worth of items first is one of the many red flags that would have been obvious that it was fake.

What I don't understand here is the fact that the daughter believes that she didn't provide the scammers any personal information to the online website.  That is total bullshit in her part.  She had to communicate to them in some manner in order to share her service that she had received, not to mention had to share her address in which the check had came into their mailbox later in the month!  The picture above even has the address to the person it belongs to.  She had to give them an address, name, and other information in order for them to physically receive the check.  I don't see the reason why the daughter is making this excuse.  Maybe she doesn't want to be the fault of everything that she had done incorrectly.

Where would the information go?  It would be stored and be used to advertise more spam to this student, not to mention that her information could be used in fraudulent uses.  Not only that information is collected by the victim themselves, the website can even steal her credit card information that is stored on the computer.  Seeing that she and the mother doesn't know beans about security and spam websites, it wouldn't be a surprise that their credit card accounts are being used by other scammers.

I'm curious where the hell she had received the $1500 within the month to use to pay for purchases in the first place!  Did her mother give her the money willingly or did the daughter have money from somewhere?  Its unknown from the article, but it raises questions to where the daughter was able to get the money from to spend on something that she ironically needed money for in her student loans and for a student loan.

I think the both of them need to do is this:  Either stay off the computer or find computer security classes.  Research websites effectively and properly before making stupid judgements like that again.  Find work out in the real world in the local area.  Its not hard to go to a business and pick up an application. Online jobs are the biggest scams on the face of the Earth and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Stupid Saturday

I decided to have a Stupid Saturday posting for this blog.  Every Saturday, I will post about local people that have done something stupid that is listed in a newspaper article.

Burlington School District Promoting 'No Bullying' Signs

For a while, I've been noticing these signs scattered in people's yards and school grounds.

It came to a surprise that the school district is now creating signs to the public to use to promoting anti-bullying.  But I believe that these so-called 'efforts' aren't doing enough.  I believe its more of a way to remove the bad image the Burlington Community School District or BCSD has with dealing with bullying, as well as other issues that they try to cover up.

They don't admit fault to it, but instead promote this kind of stuff so that they can fool people that they are changing for the good, even though the school suicides in the area have been going on for a long time.  In fact, shortly after the string of suicides in 1994, both the West Burlington School District or WBSD and BCSD  have claimed that they were working on taking care of the bullying issues and that they would be changing policies in order to help students with their issues.  Those changes were either insignificant or never placed.

I believe that because enrollment is decreasing down and that more people are going against these school districts.  From students who placed fliers on the cars  to students who stand up against the school. 

There was a system in place in having bullying records recorded and placed through a computer system. http://www.thehawkeye.com/story/BC-IA--Bullying-Database-1st-Ld-Writethru

The problem is that none of these schools in the Burlington School Districts were using this method for a long time.  I don't even believe that West Burlington School District uses this method either because both of these schools waste their money on selfish needs rather than helping to prevent bullying and promoting better education standards.

I don't believe that schools like BHS will change their philosophy and selfishness of taking care of the issue.  All that is important to them is the money and the manipulation of one's mind in believing into their crap.
