SEATTLE – Looks as if the Seattle school district is taking a tough stance on cyberbullying these days. They have suspended over 20 students at McClure Middle School for joining a club on FacebookFacebook that targeted a specific student. After discovering the page on Tuesday night, the school’s principal met with students and parents the following day and began suspending students – the length of suspension depending on each student’s involvement. Some people are pissed and think that the school is just creating kids with skin so thin that it is practically transparent, especially since the activities didn’t necessarily happen on school grounds or on school time. But I do not think some of these people fully realize just how much more effective cyberbullying is, especially when you factor in the anonymity factor and the ease of “rallying the troops”. So what do you think…has the school taken the right steps or have they overstepped their bounds?

Seattle, WA – Last Tuesday morning, the bodies of Jennifer Morgan, 28, and her 13-week-old daughter, Ema, were found in the basement of her mother’s home – Jennifer had been shot 12 times with a .45-caliber, and Ema, 7 times. Right away, police had a suspect – Jennifer’s boyfriend of 9 years, Ema’s daddy, 29-year-old Daniel Hicks. It is believed that Daniel, who friends say has been suicidal and depressed for quite some time, wasn’t exactly pleased with becoming a parent and wanted Jennifer to abort. Obviously, Jennifer had other plans and continued the pregnancy. After Ema was born, Jennifer mentioned to her mother that Daniel was just upset that he fathered a daughter. The selfish prick wanted a son. And because he is a selfish prick, he blamed Jennifer and Ema for his unhappiness, expressing jealousy over the bond Jennifer shared with her infant and questioning the paternity of the child. After a series of arguments between Jennifer and Daniel, he was asked to leave the home. Well, he did, but not until he had exacted his revenge on his girlfriend and that darn baby that dared to be born without a penis. [Read more...]

Seattle, WA – Back in ‘97, Patricia Crowl went batshit crazy when she found out her boyfriend was seeing someone else. Instead of taking her aggression out on her cheating boyfriend, Patricia attacked the other woman, bludgeoning her with a wrench before choking her to death. The woman, Shawn Beatrice Wallace, was six-weeks pregnant at the time. Patricia served a 9 year sentence on a second-degree murder conviction and was released from prison in ‘06. Fast forward to NovemberNovember reviews 13 – Patricia is feeling all jealous and moody again. She found out that her boyfriend had texted his ex-girlfriend on her cell phone. Ut-oh! On November 12, the other woman received a text from what she thought was her ex-boyfriend. She agreed to meet him in a parking lot – but, when she showed up at the designated meeting spot, she was confronted by Patricia instead. Patricia allegedly tried to force the woman’s car door open, but the woman drove away. For some reason, the other woman felt comfortable enough to set up yet another meeting with her ex-boyfriend – this time, she wouldn’t get away unscathed. [Read more...]

Seattle, WA–I have to wonder about a person’s intelligence when they are caught doing something illegal in an area where cameras are known to be rolling 24/7. Such is the case of Officer Paul Schene. Schene, an 8-year veteran of the King County Sherrif’s Office, knocked the sass out of a 15-year-old girl in a holding cell last NovemberNovember reviews. It began in the early morning hours of November 29. At 3:45 that morning, Schene and his partner pulled over the teen, Malika Calhoun, and her friend. The car they were driving was reported stolen by Malika’s parents. From the moment she was arrested, the girl mouthed off to both Schene and his partner. Taunting, arguing, and basically being a smart-ass teenager. [Read more...]
