Coventina (23,011 posts)I think white privilege was a factor in the Oxford shooting.Can you imagine the difference in how the shooter would have been treated if he'd been Black?Threatening violence, researching weapons, etc.?He would have been cuffed & strip-searched in the classroom before being expelled.Turns out there's a dark side to white privilege, even for white kids....https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216109539

The Texas student who allegedly shot three people at his high school before fleeing and then surrendering hours later, was released from jail Thursday afternoon.Timothy George Simpkins, 18, who attends Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas, was released as a civil rights attorney who joined him insisted the case wasn't a "standard-issue school shooting," The New York Post reported.A family spokeswoman has claimed Simpkins acted out in self defense Wednesday after being robbed and targeted by bullies.Simpkins, charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, was confined to his home after posting $75,000 bond at Tarrant County Jail on Thursday afternoon, news station WFAA reported. He must submit to drug and alcohol testing, and wear a GPS monitoring device.
The 18-year-old student who was arrested earlier this week for shooting three people at a high school near Dallas has stirred online outrage by enjoying a welcome-home party after posting bail following less than one day in jail.Timothy George Simpkins was restricted to home confinement and drug and alcohol testing under terms of his $75,000 bail, but that didn’t stop him from partying with family members after getting home from Tarrant County Jail on Thursday. Photos and a video clip from the party were even posted on social media.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
