the whole not calling the police but only the principal and it happening again pissed me off the most.
at first i was super mad that she didn't remove her kid from the school, but then i realized that the other child should have been removed. he's obviously the one with the bigger issue here. he may have been abused, yes, but as of right now he cannot be trusted in a school environment. the article said he (the offender) is getting treatment, i hope they figure out what's really going on with him.
did the second attack happened by the same kid? it didn't say in the article, right?
i mean, i was rolling heads when they lost mase for 4 hours on his second day of school. there would have been some furniture moving had i found out some kid abused my child like that.
its sad to have to warn your kids that their friends could try to abuse them. that convo was so confusing to them. ugh.
Jesus f*cking Christ - damn corporations!!!!
CEO gets cool $44M severance package for one day of work
14 hrs ago
How much severance would you expect after one day on the job? Not a lot, right? Well, the now ex-CEO of Duke Energy Corp., Bill Johnson, is getting up to a cool $44.4 million for his one day at the helm. Johnson had previously been CEO of another energy company that merged with Duke and signed a contract to be Duke's chief officer when the merger took effect. That was July 2. Suddenly, on July 3, he resigned (though rumors speculate it was more of a firing). Either way, Johnson stands to collect $7.4 million in severance, a $1.4 million bonus and some hefty stock awards to round out the rest. A quick look at the calculator shows that's an hourly rate of $5.5 million. Not bad for a day's work.
Boy, 4, dies after tombstone falls on him in Utah
A 4-year-old boy is dead after a large tombstone toppled onto him while his family and some friends gathered to take pictures at a historic cemetery in a Utah ski resort town.
Carson Dean Cheney was at the Glenwood Cemetery in Park City on Thursday evening when the 6-foot-tall headstone detached from its base and fell on him, Park City police Capt. Phil Kirk said Friday. The headstone was about 4 inches thick and weighed hundreds of pounds.
"There's still so much disbelief and sorrow and anguish," the boy's grandmother Geri Gibbs told The Associated Press. "We just keep waiting for the door to open up and Carson to come through, a happy little boy."
She said Carson was just about to enter kindergarten, loved to ride his bike and was "full of life."
Investigators were still probing the incident Friday.
Gibbs said the boy and his family were visiting from Lehi, about an hour away, and were at the old cemetery while his father took photos of friends and relatives.
The boy was holding onto the headstone when some metal connecting it to the pedestal broke, Gibbs said.
She said it took three men to pull the slab off the boy, and rescuers "did everything they could possibly do."
The child suffered injuries to his head, chest and abdomen and was taken to the nearby Park City Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Curtis Morley is a family friend and works with the boy's father, Zac Cheney, at a professional services firm in Salt Lake City. He said Zac Cheney does photography in his spare time and was shooting portraits at the cemetery because of its extensive landscaping.
Morley said some of the children being photographed were not being responsive, so Carson tried to help his dad by pretending to be leprechaun and making them laugh. Morley said the boy went behind a tombstone and was playfully poking his head out from behind it when it fell on him.
"Carson passed away while trying to make others smile," Morley said.
Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter said the heavy, coarse stone marked the grave of someone who died in the 1800s.
Bruce Erickson, president of the Glenwood Cemetery Association, said the private, five-acre cemetery around the corner from Park City Mountain Resort was founded by a society of silver miners in 1885, and many of the tombstones are at least 100 years old. The cemetery is open to the public and still accepts burials of people connected to the mining society.
Erickson said no funerals were held there Thursday.
New burials happen maybe just once a year, he said, and families are responsible for maintaining the headstones. Erickson said the cemetery likely will be closed through the weekend.
A funeral for the boy is set for Tuesday. Morley said a memorial fund has been set up at Zions Bank.

Husband 'solicited men to rape his wife through the "casual encounters" section of Craigslist'
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz20wyeGle8
The husband, who is not being named by the Mail Online, allegedly used Craigslist to arrange the sexual assault of his wife
I love when they use pics like this. Like someone who knows him won't know that's him. That's like wearing sunglasses as a disguise.
Oops.A woman suffered repeated attempted sexual assaults, after her husband posted a Craigslist ad pretending to be her and asking to be raped.
At least two men powered their way into the woman's Twin Cities, Idaho home on separate occasions with the intention of forcing her to have sex with them.
The first incident happened on Thursday just after midnight.
A man she did not know arrived at her home and told her: 'I'm here for you' and pushed his way inside, local news outlet Magic Valley reported.
He chased her through the house as she ran, terrified, to where she kept a 9mm handgun which he grabbed from her, firing shots that ricocheted around the room.
They struggled and the woman's hand was slashed as she fought him off.
At that point the man fled and the woman called the police.
The intruder was described as being about 5'10" with a medium build and short black hair; both arms covered in tattoos.
Two days later, at around 3.45pm on Saturday, a second man broke in and police arrived to find the woman holding him at gunpoint in the living room.
He was arrested over the break-in and told police in an interview that he was responding to a 'casual encounters' ad on Craigslist, supposedly posted by the victim.
'The person posting the ad told him she wanted to be forcibly raped as that was a fantasy of hers,' the police report states.
'He was told to force his way inside and rape the woman there and not stop no matter how much she resisted.'
Police scoured the man's cellphone and found a string of emails exchanged with the ad's poster which backed up his story.
Sick: The husband allegedly posted an ad on Craigslist, posing as his wife and asking people to rape her
They traced the emails he had been sent to a computer at the Army National Guard in Mountain Home, where the 32-year-old husband works.
He was returning home at the time of the attempted assaults and has since been arrested, admitting his involvement to police.
The husband's bond was set at $100,000 and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 27.
He is being held at the Twin Cities County Jail, charged with solicitation of rape and solicitation of burglary.
The Mail Online is naming neither the woman nor her husband, to protect the identity of the victim.
For that reason the serviceman's face has been blurred in his mugshot.

Craigslist the gift the just keeps on giving. What a douchebag this guy is. This is really crazy shit. Right there next to the ad where the lady did want to be killed in a trailer. lol
I agree about the awesome bs pixelation in the photo. All of their friends and family will know it's him. Oh and his work place too.
Yet another naked drug user. This one was lucky.
http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/nak...47d3f5615.html
This may be her
Rapid City police officers on Wednesday morning arrested a naked woman who may have been high on synthetic drugs after she called 911 from a rooftop to say she wanted to fly.
At 1:53 a.m., dispatch received a call from a woman who had climbed to the top of the building at 601 12th Street, which houses Computer Village. The woman said she wanted to try to fly but was afraid, said police spokeswoman Tarah Heupel.
Officers found Jennifer Hanson, 20, of Rapid City, walking along Kansas City Street with no clothes; they found some of her clothing on top of the building.
Officers arrested Hanson for probation violation and possession of marijuana, Heupel said. Police have noticed that many synthetic drug users strip off their clothes under the influence of the drugs and are investigating what drugs Hanson was using at the time of her arrest, Heupel said.

Naked chicks? Finally.
Jesus, this synthetic shit is really retarded.
No kidding and with all the media hype about it's downfalls it seems to be becoming more and more. I am beginning to think this is the high or ride they are wanting?!
Seriously. I mean, maybe there are some kids out there thinking that the reports are hype, but otherwise I think they are looking for this type of insanity high. Real pot is nothing like this synthetic shit. How about we stop calling it synthetic pot and just call it synthetic shit?
Yes, Yes, and Yes!
Every so often Ron posts a picture of Time Square, just to creep me out... Here's a little something for him.
http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/nor...cfc8b3cb1.htmlWhen an oil field worker crashed in a construction zone last week in Harding County, its only deputy sheriff was at his ranch near Reva — 50 miles from the wreck.
Wyatt Sabo was off the clock, but the vast county’s only other law enforcement officer — the sheriff — was 50 miles away in another direction. So Sabo was off to yet another crash on one of the roads that now serve as a pipeline to the booming oil fields of northwestern North Dakota.
"You never know when something’s gonna happen," he said. "You’re on call. You always got to be there."
Over the past three years, traffic in Harding and Butte counties has exploded on what were mostly lonely, two-lane roads, leaving behind more crime and traffic problems for suddenly understaffed law enforcement agencies.
The oil field worker, who had failed to stop for what amounted to a convoy of vehicles stopped for road construction, was ejected from the crash.
From his ranch, Sabo paged the air ambulance service, Life Flight, before heading to the scene. He would meet with officers from the Butte County Sheriff's Office and the South Dakota Highway Patrol when he arrived.
Harding County Sheriff Bill Clarkson was near Camp Crook when the crash occurred. He, too, would make it to the crash site, but not before stopping at a minor crash in the county seat of Buffalo. A North Dakota truck driver had failed to navigate a tight turn at the truck stop, Henderson Oil Company, and crashed into the post protecting a gas pump.
Sheriff’s officers are used to working long hours and making long drives in Harding County, which has around 1,200 people spread across 2,671 square miles. But now that drivers treat the highways that cut across the county as a thoroughfare to the Bakken oil fields, Sabo and Clarkson are finding it hard to keep up.
"We’re having a lot of issues," said Clarkson, referring to increased traffic violations, driving under the influence arrests and domestic violence calls. He cannot say for certain that North Dakota's oil boom is entirely to blame, but there’s no doubt it is a major contributing factor.
Clarkson said trucks are traveling in packs and drivers are passing multiple vehicles at a time and on hills. They are ignoring no passing zones entirely and traveling 10 to 20 miles per hour or more above the posted 65 mph limit, he said.
U.S. Highway 85, known as the CanAm Highway, travels through Harding and Butte counties and handles most of the traffic. The two-lane road starts in Texas, picks up Interstate 90 traffic near Belle Fourche and cuts straight through the oil patch in North Dakota, which is now the country's second-largest oil producer.
South Dakota highways 79 and 73 are not as busy, although more drivers take them in hopes of avoiding heavier traffic and temporary weigh stations.
"I think we have more people in a day pass through than what people live here," Sabo said.
The South Dakota Department of Transportation is in the middle of a three-part traffic study on U.S. 85 and S.D highways 79, 73 and 20 in northwestern South Dakota to find out just how much traffic is rolling through the northwest corner of the state, according to Jeff Brosz, a transportation specialist with the Department of Transportation.
The Department of Transportation chose to conduct the in-depth study after the area engineer, Mike Carlson, received reports of significant increases in traffic. Based in Belle Fourche, Carlson oversees the highways in northwestern South Dakota.
"We decided we better see what exactly is going on," Brosz said. The study is expected to wrap up in September.
Collaboration between state and local law enforcement agencies is key in northwestern South Dakota, but an officer's backup — whether from the same agency or not — can be 50 to 80 miles away at any given time, Clarkson said. The limited number of officers in the area can make pulling over a transient driver all the more dangerous.
Sabo has pulled over drivers for traffic violations by himself only to find out after he cuffed them that the drivers had prior murder charges and past violent run-ins with law enforcement.
"I am a lot more cautious nowadays than what I used to be," said Sabo, who joined the sheriff's office eight years ago.
Clarkson said his department typically averages about 60 new criminal cases a year. By mid-July this year, the department had already worked 55 cases. To offset the extra work, Clarkson is relying on the help of the South Dakota Department of Criminal Investigations for criminal cases and the South Dakota Highway Patrol during fatal crashes and wrecks involving more than one vehicle.
Both agencies are well aware of the traffic and crime increases in Harding, Butte and Perkins counties.
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley has redirected two Rapid City-based DCI agents to the northwestern part of the state to assist local law enforcement.
The highway patrol has “dramatically” stepped up patrols in Harding and northern Butte counties along the U.S. 85 corridor, according to Capt. Kevin Karley, commander of the highway patrol's District 3, which covers western South Dakota.
The troopers’ 2011 traffic ticket numbers in Harding County increased more than 360 percent over the last three years. The patrolmen issued 84 traffic tickets in 2008 and 389 in 2011, Karley said.
If the highway patrol keeps up with its current patrol rate this year, it will double the number of high visibility patrols conducted on U.S. 85 in 2011 by the end of 2012, he said.
“We definitely can see that the truck traffic has increased considerably,” Karley said. “The increase in traffic and highway safety is a big concern. We want to make sure we’re maintaining a presence in the area so we can keep traffic fatalities down.”
Like Clarkson, sheriffs in neighboring Perkins and Butte counties are encountering similar challenges.
Butte County Sheriff Fred Lamphere said his department's assists, considered any contact with the public, have jumped almost 300 percent, according to statistics from January through May in 2008 and 2012. The sheriff's office logged 4,111 assists in 2008 and 16,190 assists in 2012. The department wrote 60 citations in 2008 and 197 citations in 2012 during that same time period.
DUI, drug arrests and domestic violence calls are also up. Lamphere said the demographic working the oil field also happens to be the demographic, 18- to 35-year-old men, that is statistically responsible for most arrests nationwide.
"It’s kind of a young man's line of work and they work hard and they play hard," he said.
He also responded to last week's crash and described it as a "classic deal" of an oil worker traveling home after a long work rotation. With the saturation of cell phones, his department receives a lot of calls of drunken driving but frequently the driver is just tired, not intoxicated.
"When we make contact with them it’s usually fatigue or distracted driving," Lamphere said. "It’s a long stretch of highway between Belle Fourche and Buffalo."
As he prepares his 2013 budget, Lamphere is hoping the Butte County Commission will let him add another deputy, bringing his numbers to four deputies and 15 reserve deputies.
The county's tax base has grown slightly but not enough to support an increase in law enforcement to handle the assists created by the jump in traffic, he said.
"It’s pretty hard to cut corners and provide service. It’s a struggle," Lamphere said. "We do as well as we can, but we’re all putting in a lot longer days and everybody is feeling it."
Perkins County Sheriff Kelly Serr said the oil industry traffic is having a noticeable impact on crime and roads, but like Harding and Butte counties they still see less crime than the state's more populated counties.
"We’re very small, very rural. We’re not talking large numbers," Serr said. "We're talking probably a handful of traffic-related arrests such as drunk driving."
Prior to the oil boom, the two-man Harding County Sheriff's Office could handle its case load on top of covering its contract with the town of Buffalo.
"A lot of times we got behind, but we were able to clean up pretty good," said Clarkson, who added that over the last three years his agency has gradually lost time to perform proactive police work like patrols through Buffalo. "That visibility is a big part. The proactive stuff we’re backing off of because of our caseload."
Clarkson tried to hire more help, but the Harding County Commission turned down his July 3 request to add another deputy to the force. Outfitting and hiring another deputy would cost about $100,000, which is half of the sheriff's office's $200,000 annual budget, he said.
“I’m a little discouraged that we didn’t get our other deputy, but dollars are dollars,” Clarkson said.
Charles Verhulst, chairman of the commission, said Sabo was hired after the sheriff's office agreed to provide law enforcement to the town of Buffalo, which has a population of around 330 people and is now advertising for a police chief.
The commission opted to wait and see if Buffalo hires a police officer, he said.
"We could find the money if we really thought we had to," Verhulst said. "That’s where we left it. It just depends on how things play out. We’re not completely narrow-minded on the whole deal."
The traffic rolling through the rural counties is certainly not all bad. All three sheriffs pointed out that business is good for the stores, gas stations and restaurants along the major routes. Residents who had to leave their hometowns for work opportunities are moving back little by little and making the commute to high-paying jobs in the oil patch.
"It's the salt water that changes the Rainbow's pretty colors to gray." "And his colors never come back?" "No, once he's been to the sea he's changed forever. The Steelhead can come back home here, stay for the rest of his days, and live among the other Rainbow trout, but he'll always be different because of where he's been." Morsi, Pamela. Garters.

That's crazy! I would expect a lot of internal injuries and open fractures.
We call that FUBAR around here.
