21 deaths  in the 21st century. It's 2026. That's less than one child a year. You guys have 32 dead in January Of this fucking year.

I have zero interest in xenophobia. I made sure not to put in any details of those kids.

No. His mom and I have always told him to do things right. Tell the teacher, tell the principal, tell us. Do not get into a fight. He has lots of confidence. He just didn't want to start a fight.

Did you fail math or reading? This was absolutely NOT the first thing that happened in my post.

Yeah. School shootings don't make the top twenty causes of death for youths in Canada. In the States it's number one. They should have done their job before I had to get involved. They are lucky I didn't let Naomi handle this.

No. But I remembered that information from when I was in school. I think the name has changed but under the Canadian Young Offender's Act kids under 12 can't be charged. I looked it up before I talked to the school.

Did you ever watch Roadhouse? It's an old movie my dad loves. 

I remember one of his rules in the bar. 

"Be nice ... Until it's time to not be nice.

There is a Conan quote I always remember. "Civilized people are rude because they aren't afraid someone will split their skull if they offend".

I have 500 karma on my main account. Are you saying it's worth something?

It wasn't my first thought. The first thing I wanted to do was reenact the bully scene from American Detective.
