  • Sorry for the wall of text. I tried to tldr it and failed.

    proper tldr is hospitalized my bully. Mom invited a detective to the meeting, who threatened to arrest the vice principal for aiding and abetting assault of a minor.

    I got pretty much that too happen in middle school. Beat the shit out of a bully who was punching one of my friends repeatedly in the head. Like kicked him in the testes then started stomping on his hands with steel toed boots and broke his bones so bad he had to move to another town for rehab, beat him badly.

    My mom found a detective who’s kid was also getting bullied to show at up the meeting. VP was the disciplinarian in our school. We headed into the room with him, with the principal already sitting at the end of table. He didnt say an word that entire meeting.

    My mom tried to open the meeting up while we were getting settled, by asking what the school was going to do to prevent students from having to take ‘drastic measures of self defense.’ VP immediately stood back up and started yelling about how it was HIS meeting and it was my actions in question. The detective, who was still standing, calmly unbuttoned his jacket, revealing his gun and badge, and calmly told the VP to sit the fuck down.

    He started interrogating the VP about student reports of violence, when hed been informed, what hed done about it, etc. Then he told the VP that either he was leaving that room with steps already in place to ensure there would be no more violence, or he was going to arrest the VP for aiding and abetting in multiple assaults and abuse of a minor. He also threatened that arresting him for that would have the VP’s sons in sleeping in DSS custody that night.

    Shortly after that I was sent back to class, but not before he cautioned the VP in front of me that any attempts to punish me for the fight would be seen as retaliation for reporting his actions, and making good sure I knew to call him (the detective) if that happened.

    Like i said, the main bully was out of school, but his 2 friends were called in to the office shortly after that and expelled for the year. Then an announcement for a school wide assembly on bullying. Which was a pretty funny assembly. They both claimed they were implementing a 0 tolerance policy (which how we broke that is a story for another day) but also (clearly demanded by the detective) litrerally read out the states laws on self defense, stressed that students had an absolute right to defend themselves from violence which no adult could take away.

    A police officer was there, who ended up becoming the high school’s student resource officer, who then told students that if reports of harassment or violence were falling on deaf ears of the faculty, to please report that to the local PD who most definitely would pay attention.


  • Us federal law explicitly uses and defines the term “child pornography” in 18 us 2251-2256.

    From justic.gov:

    Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor.

    So no on all accounts. Child pornography is an actually legal term, and ai generation does not get around it if it depicts a real, existant person.





  • Years ago i had a friend who got charged for theft from his employer- he was GM of a restaurant that was in the process of going bankrupt. Checks were a month behind including credit card tips. The last of thw staff were bassically at the were walking if we dont get paid today moment.

    So he took the weekends take, like $20k, and paid out most of the paychecks in arrears, allong witb enough to keep the vendors that were about to stop making deliveries. He got arrested, spent the night in lockup and had to pay bail.

    He ended up getting saved from having to go to court though; his lawyer was able to convince the DA that he needed to look into the owners finances, and it turned out there was a reason the restaurant was going bankrupt- the owner was straight up ‘investing’ all the money, on short term stock market plays, including the tips, (which is illegal) had made some bad plays and dug himself a pretty big hole. The owner never got arrested though, he just got fined, which ended up getting paid out of the bankruptcy. At least the staff and afaik all the vendors got paid though.









  • It reminds me of the old reagan Soviet joke.

    A Soviet and an american are having a conversation. The American is bragging about free speech, and says:

    "our country is so free, I could go to the white house and yell ‘go to hell Ronald Reagan!’

    And nothing would happen to me.

    The Russian replies,

    “Our speech is pretty free too, I guess, I also could go to the Kremlin, shout ‘Go to hell, Ronald Reagan!’ And nothing would happen to me, either.”
