When Power Rangers Go Bad...

[Heracles 417]

So you're saying a pot smoking, jury tampering mother who shacked up with a drug dealer, and is surprised that her son isn't going to get the chance to be President of the USA, may not get the mother of the year award?

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.

My take on the article is how cunning people have become that they will do anything to free their own, no matter what the crime.

Where has morality, decency and integrity gone in this country?

Out of curiosity - why did you say "shame on his mum" if you weren't talking about *this* case?

Shame on his mum for standing by this piece of ####.

On a smaller scale, this sort of stuff happens all of the time. Where a parent will back and support their child's side and take their point of view over an adult, over a teacher. Just ask teachers about it. I have lost count of such stories from teachers. This was simply not an option when I was growing up. My parents also weren't as dumb as 2008 parents and would have detect such a lie in a heartbeat. Consequently I would have been disciplined further for the lie as well as whatever I did at school. Nowadays a lot of a parents will automatically take their kids side.

Lucky I am not a teacher as I would have been serving federal time by now for beating such a parent into the ground, along with their 'precious' child.

Saved for posterity.

3 years in teaching. Going back to remembering my PT meetings, only once did I have a parent that sided on the stupid side of the fence, much like not knowing what they were talking about.

Thus making you worse than the people you criticize as you have absolutely no jurisdiction to take such action. Shame on you for thinking this is an acceptable response.

As for your 'this sort of stuff happens all the time', absolute bullshite - but again you are not a parent so you are as usual talking out of your #######.

Clearly you are the 'lone voice of reason' on these issues. Well done.

So I guess that whole point about how parents can't emotionally divorce themselves from their children - washed completely over your head...

What's with the desire for violence stuff all the time - whatever impression you think it conveys, it does have the effect of making you look very angry - most or all of the time.
