      I’m sure it has nothing to do with trying to deflect attention from Rupert Lowe’s report on the Pakistani rape gangs.

            The British government is choosing Pakistani rape gangs and welfare migrants (mostly muslim) over everything else.

            -pork is being eliminated from school lunches

            -people are told not to walk their dogs (the British more or less invented the idea of preventing cruelty to animals)

            -now even royalty can be dumped to distract people

            The dedication of the British political establishment in embracing muslims is nothing if not consistent.

            Slow motion cultural suicide….

        He’s (Childers) one of my daily news-skim sources. He’s way more optimistic than I am about the state of the world, but I particularly like when he discusses legal issues, as his day job is trial lawyer. He represented, and won, one of the first-in-country covid-overreach cases (in Gainesville, FL of course). Occasionally suffers the same malaise as other daily-update bloggers: every day is a lot when there’s not much going on. But handles it better than most, and his bullet-point format means I can skim headlines, read the stuff I’m interested in, and skip what I’m not.

      Canada has that and more. Some, perhaps a few of the students may be innocent, but one really has to wonder. This is nothing but a widespread scam to bring untrained low skilled applicants to get around the immigration systems of Western countries. I do apologise for the sources, both are bought and paid for Canadian legacy media. Neither will admit that we have a serious problem of fraudulent certification scams from India.

    I believe this is the *second* student hit by a car while involved in teacher-promoted anti-ICE protests in the US.

      I expect very expensive lawsuits against school districts over these. You’d think they’d learn after just one?

        Right. And it’s other people’s kids.

        Why anybody with any means at all still gives these people access to their children is beyond understanding.

              This one wasn’t hit by a car:

              https://x.com/JakeCan72/status/2024670184355877214

              This was somewhere around Chicago, class did a “student-led” off-campus anti-ICE protest thing. Walked a long way apparently? Anyway, 11yo special needs kid got left behind by classmates (too slow?), was lost and scared, did what anyone would do: called his mom. Who came and picked him up from a busy roadside.

              Public schools are just shy of county jails these days, security-wise. Barbed wire, metal detectors, locked doors, if you show up to get your kid for a doctor’s appointment, the office staff has to buzz you in, you show ID, they check the list to make sure you’re authorized to pick up your kid from school. How many trainings did school staff have to endure on preventing kidnappings by noncustodial parents, and preventing school shootings?

              So what does it mean that such a significant investment goes into school security, and… an 11yo sped kid can just walk out of the school with a bunch of other students, and get lost on the roadside?

                This has got to be illegal, right? This is serious endangerment. I have murderous thoughts for bastards who did this to the kid. Imagine what the parents went through while this was happening.

                Pure evil.

                You’d think. There’s probably a legal case for kidnapping if the teachers take them off campus without notifying parents.

                Letting an 11yo special needs kid leave campus, apparently without adult supervision, seems like reckless endangerment.

    TL:DR: apartment complex had the misfortune of a homeless encampment moving onto the grounds, junkies damaging the boiler room.

    The tenants were told they had to fix the problem. Local .gov refused to remove the urban campers who damaged the building. Tenants now being evicted because 100 apartments lost heat “not habitable”. And junkies have more rights than paying tenants.

    Seems like bad PR. Wonder if there is a behind-the-scenes real-estate deal to explain it.

      Wow.

      This has absolutely every sign of a shady real estate play. Sibarium’s article says there are residents there who have owned the condos for decades. Somebody wants to gentrify for sure.
