From rapes to arsons to guns, Florida’s school districts are hiding countless crimes that take place on campus, defying state laws and leaving parents with the false impression that children are safer than they are.
Many serious offenses — and even minor ones — are never reported to the state as required, an investigation by the South Florida Sun Sentinel found. A staggering number of schools report no incidents at all — no bullying, no trespassing, nothing.

Florida schools cover up crimes: Rapes, guns and more

First we heard about it with Trayvon Martin case and then with Marjorie Stoneman Douglass High School shooting: Crimes and dangerous behavior in school were being covered-memory holed-not reported. Now and thanks to an amazing work by the Sun Sentinel we find out it is an endemic issue across the state.

“At Parker Elementary in Panama City, a 12-year-old boy stole a school bus in July 2014 and went on a two-hour joyride, just hours after he had appeared in court for another bus theft. The theft was never reported to the state. The school district did not respond to requests for comment.”

“Despite the warning, LaVoy Exceptional Center School in Tampa reported no sex crimes during the 2016-17 school year, the same year teacher George Summers molested a disabled teenage student. He’s now a registered sex offender.
Schools spokeswoman Tanya Arja said the district reported the crime to police, but annual safety reports list only incidents in which students are disciplined. Arja said she would ask the state to clarify, ignoring that the state had already made it clear many times before.”

Even murder has been ignored. A student at Coral Gables Senior High got a 40-year prison sentence for a fatal stabbing in 2009, a case that attracted national attention, but the Miami-Dade County school district never reported it to the state.

But it was always easier to blame Gun Owners. It was always easier to blame the NRA. It has been said that Florida’s Teacher’s Union and the School Boards are powerful mafias in the state and I have to say this seems to prove it. Will something be done? No idea, I hope some of the newly elected state legislators are already checking the legislation to see how will it be improved.  And let’s see if the new Governor and new State’s Attorney hit the ground running with this

As for Florida Gun Owners, we need to throw this back in the faces of our accusers, 24/7 and 365 days a year.

“Stop Blaming Guns. Fire the School Boards. Do It For The Children!”

Damn, our evil plot has been discovered.

Thank God we are doing so bad that without December sales in, this years has been the third with most Firearms Background checks since NICS began.

Yes, there is an adjustment in the market and a lot of guns are cheap as the manufacturers are getting rid of the stock, but that is not what we VPC is trying to push and fact. Are we unpopular as culture? Only in the NY/LA areas.

I am not making bets, but with the new House trying to pass every kind of Gun Control bill they can, I suspect sales will be up again. In the meantime, get your inexpensive guns and make somebody in your life feel special.

I found out that Jon Gutmacher is fighting Lymphoma. No idea of his status, but I hope he is fighting the good fight on his way to full health.

Those who don’t know him, he is the first one that sat down and studied Florida Gun laws and wrote the excellent Florida Firearm – Laws, Use and Ownership which I credit on keeping Many Floridians from serving time for Firearms violations, me included.

If you own and carry in the state of Florida, you need to get this book.

And if you are so inclined, send a prayer or a positive thought his way.

Dear God, I don’t think I heard this song since 1980-81 and I simply lost track of the band. You may want to crank it up.

This afternoon in and in less than 10 minutes, I have seen the Unholy Trinity of the commercials that tells us we are back in that time of the year:
1) Vapid Eurotrash-looking perfume.
2) Chia Pet.
3) The Clapper.

 
Two more weeks of this crap and we will survive.

Stolen from the Feral Irishman without any shame.
