  - you have to install a plugin. But yeah, fuck that noise. - Reagen Jan 31, 07:31 3

Radio report - Teacher in South L.A. has been arrested for tying up and gagging 23 third grade students, pouring roaches on them, then taking pics. - CrankYanker Jan 31, 06:32 23
- It's weird that I can't find any online news reports about this. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 06:45 11
  - No, it isn't. Plenty of local news outlets broadcast their news on TV and radio first, and then take their time about having it online somewhere. -- nm - con_carne Jan 31, 07:47 1
    - I'm just speaking to my own experience. I research current news stories fairly frequently. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:55
  - I couldn't find it either, but now the local TV news is opening with this story....Miramonte Elementary School. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 31, 06:58 7

        This is so bizarre. Twitter posts indicate it was reported on KTLA. KTLA's website and Fb page have nothing. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:25 4
        
        right? I want to newslist that sh*t. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 07:27 3
        
        Finally found something, but not much. Some appears to documented in photos, but the semen thing is just allegations. -- (link) - mara Jan 31, 07:35 2
        
        well, it's allegations at this point, but the TV news reported that the spoon was analyzed by a lab. Teacher said it was sugar water; lab found semen -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 31, 07:38 1
        
        ^"....it's all allegations at this point....." -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 31, 07:40
  - yeah I googled as well. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:47

  - teaching the kids how to play Fear Factor? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:51
  - "man, third graders... am I right?" -- nm - mafic Jan 31, 06:48
- wtf is wrong with some people? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:36 6
  - wrong wiring in their head - Epiphany Jan 31, 06:37 5
    - but...how do they end up being teachers? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:38 4
      - why would someone who want to do stuff to kids take a job working with kids, with a fair amount of autonomy? - TFox Jan 31, 07:38 1
        
        word, yo. -- nm - jerry sandusky Jan 31, 07:43
      - education degrees? isn't that a fall back for many college students who have no idea what they want -- nm - CQ: The Water Ox Jan 31, 06:58
      - How do they end up being anything - doctors, nurses, pig farmers, cruise ship captains ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 06:41
- Third grade. Age 8-9. Teacher better be in protective custody, cuz fuuuuuuuu..... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 06:34
Once you start watching Parks and Rec, it's hard to not giggle at every use of "literally" you hear. -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 06:25 2

- Woot - very nice. can you take her a single flower. doesn't have to be a rose - maybe a daisy. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 06:34 4
  - You know... I think I only brought flowers to a date once. - TFox Jan 31, 06:43 3
    - its kind of odd - cause sometimes just a single flower sends more of a message. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 06:48 2
      - I'm not discounting your flowers Tfox - I'm sure they were lovely -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 07:00
      - that message being I'm doing all I can here to try and jam you tonight -- nm - CQ: The Water Ox Jan 31, 07:00
- I actually earn a day off this month. I am *so* excited. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 31, 06:24
- *splurt* -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 06:24
- *likes* - TFox Jan 31, 06:23
- Woohoo. Where is that? -- nm - Inigo Jan 31, 06:23 3
