Via Of Arms and the Law.

The lawsuit was initially dismissed and the Eleventh confirmed the lawsuit was a bust from the get go. IANAL, but it reads the plaintiff’s lawyers filed more on feelings that the actual law. No Duty to Protect is a hard wall to conquer on just wants. I posted a couple of years back an excellent paper titled Police Protection and the “Special Relationship” Exception by Karen M. Richards which explains the few narrow cases in which Duty to protect does not apply and what are the legal conditions.

The students sued Broward County and five public officials on the theory that their response to the school shooting was so incompetent that it violated the students’ substantive rights under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The district court dismissed this claim with prejudice because it was an impermissible shotgun pleading and, in the alternative, because it failed to state a claim and leave to amend it would be futile. On the merits, the district court reasoned that because the students were not in a custodial relationship with the officials and failed to allege conduct by the officials that is “arbitrary” or “shocks the conscience,” the students could not maintain a claim that the officials violated their substantive right to due process of law. The students appeal this decision, but settled caselaw makes clear that official acts of negligence or even incompetence in this setting do not violate the right to due process of law.
Because we agree with the district court that the students failed to state a claim of a constitutional violation and that leave to amend would be futile, we affirm.

And as usual, here is the whole text for you to read.

If some of this assholes were found thawing in a far field coming next March, I reckon not a lot of people would shed a tear.

Yes, it’s been difficult.

There is learning loss.

There are social-emotional challenges.

In some cases, there is sickness, economic hardship, or trauma.

But students are extremely resilient.https://t.co/K8y7JZvDzU

Learning loss?

In Los Angeles,  the Bay Area, Cleveland, Fairfax, everywhere.

Remote learning was a fucking failure.  The number of failures are “off the rails.”

Our kids have fallen more than a year behind.

Our kids are regressing. It’s driving teenagers to record rates of suicide.

I don’t think kids killing themselves or going back to diapers are resilient.  Kids don’t just bounce back from forgetting how to read or use the toilet.

But as long as the unionized teachers are safe and only having to work remotely for one hour a day three days a week at full pay, I guess the platitude is enough to soothe their souls.

Every teacher that refuses to go back into a classroom full time come the start of the new semester in January needs to be passed through the wood chipper to make room for people who will serve the students.

Union officers and administrators can get tossed into a vat of acid.  The wood chipper is too quick for them.

From The New York Times:

The Elderly vs. Essential Workers: Who Should Get the Coronavirus Vaccine First?

With the coronavirus pandemic surging and initial vaccine supplies limited, the United States faces a hard choice: Should the country’s immunization program focus in the early months on the elderly and people with serious medical conditions, who are dying of the virus at the highest rates, or on essential workers, an expansive category encompassing Americans who have borne the greatest risk of infection?

“Teachers have middle-class salaries, are very often white, and they have college degrees,” he said. “Of course they should be treated better, but they are not among the most mistreated of workers.”

Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, said that it is reasonable to put essential workers ahead of older adults, given their risks, and that they are disproportionately minorities. “Older populations are whiter, ” Dr. Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”

But to protect older people more at risk, he called on the C.D.C. committee to also integrate the agency’s own “social vulnerability index.”

The index includes 15 measures derived from the census, such as overcrowded housing, lack of vehicle access and poverty, to determine how urgently a community needs health support, with the goal of reducing inequities.

See, the problem with giving the vaccine to the elderly – who are at greater risk – or teachers – who are essential- is that they are too white.

We can’t prioritize some vulnerable people if their ethnicity is wrong.  That’s not equitable.

Another government heath project with racism and eugenics deeply ingrained in it.

Who could have seen that coming?

Anyone familiar with the Tuskegee experiment, Dr. Mengele, the history of Planned Parenthood, people familiar with the Indian Health Service, Buck v. Bell, Japanese Unit 731, it’s a long list.

But this time it’s white people who will die so that’s fine then.

I swear “medical ethicist” is a term that means “someone who figures out how to justify the murder of undesirables.”

The scariest part is that they are willing to say this in the NYT.  Makes you wonder what they are not willing to say.

I found interesting death data from the CDC’s Covid Tracker about How bad Unlocked Florida is doing compared with New York which has been following “The Experts.”

Interesting how they have to split the data. I wonder why?

It seems that the Lockdowns in New York are not quite performing the way the brave and gracious Governor and Mayor keep touting.

And how about that other awful unlocked Trump Red State Bible humping state of Texas’ doing?

We so would sell this:

And blame Ish for giving me bad ideas.

Those who ordered the murder of General Soleimani as well as those who carried this out should be punished. This revenge will certainly happen at the right time.

The Left has been in tears since Trump ordered the killing of the man who coordinated the delivery of advanced Iranian produced armor-piercing weapons to Iraqi insurgents to use against US troops.

They mourned the “murder” of the “austere religious scholar.”

They know if they struck back now, the hell that would rain down upon them would be fission powered.

If they wait until the day after Biden is sworn in, the Left will naval gaze and explain to the rest of us how we deserved it because Trump murdered a great Iranian leader and we should not respond and just take our lumps, and Biden will listen.

Personally, I think Trump in his last week of being a lame-duck President, should do the US and the Sunni Muslim world a favor and have the weather over Iran on January 19th be musroom cloudy with a 100% chance of W88s.
