School Guards Break Child's Arm And Arrest Her For Dropping Cake

The girl, Pleajhai Mervin, told Fox News LA that she was bumped while queuing for lunch and dropped the cake. After being ordered to clean it up and then re-clean the spot three times, she attempted to leave the area out of embarrassment but was jumped on by security who forced her onto a table, breaking her wrist in the process....

The school expelled Pleajhai for five days before then having her arrested for battery and for littering (the dropping of the cake). Then they had the pupil who captured the video arrested along with his sister who was merely present at the scene.

I don't like the lines of thinking I'm having about what wouldn't be out of line. There's going to be something tomorrow. I wish I thought it would be as large as the Jena 6 rally of last week.

[Unknown site tag] has a post up about McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom (a really good book) and the ways in which the Whigs attempts to appease/make nice to the South created all the little strains which made the actual Civil War more likely.

He draws a parallel to the present Dems.

The system is painfully out of balance.

szkbrust is the bad tag (I wish I could edit, at least my, comments).

Steve Brust.

Author of the Taltos series, as well as the Paarfi Romances.

With Emma Bull he wrote an epistiolary novel in Victorian England about labor relations and magic (which is a crappy summation).

His other stuff is great too (Athyra, The Sun, The Moon and the Stars [a great book about the writing process] To Reign in Hell [Paradise Lost, from Satan's POV, sort of).

And his Lj is the blog where McPherson's book is being discussed. I screwed up the tag.
