@reddit_lies Yes, it is wrong. You need help.

@JeremyWingert79 The Little Prince and Gulliver's Travels were ones my children enjoyed.

@BasilTheGreat Well, it is not like he posted something that would hurt someone's feelings on social media or something equally as evil.

[Matty Dread @MattyDread]

He's got a very valid point here. This isn't going away.

You want to know what's worse than incompetence? Knowing the truth and burying it anyway.

They knew. That's the bit nobody is saying. They knew.

Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.

Hampshire Police had that tape.

They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.

Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.

Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.

Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.

This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.

That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.

Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.

@buitengebieden idk, but dang, she is judging all of us with that look.

@cremieuxrecueil It depends. Am I footing the bill and baking the cake all by myself? Or is nobody doing the work and the cake just magically appears?

Weird my son's fiancée's parents are not divorced but she is in grad school and her parents came to my place one year for Christmas so we could all meet etc (they are from another country) and then the next year she was planning on having Christmas with them but they told her they had made arrangements with friends to go ziplining. She was not really invited and would have had to sit in the hotel alone if she went with then to Spain because she was not on the package adventure tour program. Of course she had Christmas with us, and she told me she was kinda scared this year and thought she would be sad over Christmas but that she actually had a good time. My son really loves her and she is becomming is a beloved family member even though they are not married. She is now part of our Chrimas tradition. I mean, she was in college too when that happened. idk. It can be weird. I am divorced but raised my children more as a single parent, so having my kids around means soooo much; I get confused with stories like these. I am so glad that you found your group and stuff. I am sure it would be fine if you shared with your parents how you felt during your first year and how you have been handling your holidays. Growing up is hard. You seem like you have done an excellent job! Kudos to you!

@SendMoreLawyers @Brink_Thinker It did say teamwork was important. Others were making comments like leave the weak etc., which did not seem to be the point of the exercise.

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

@hothingsgirlsay The "shoulder check of a larger person on the older lady needed to be addressed. In this scene, physical aggression is judged as OK as long as it is a gender nonconfroming person doing it to a Christian person. What could possibly go wrong with that message?

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

I have one nondisabled and non severly disabled child, and the child with severe disabilities is much happier, giggles and laughs more than the child without disabilities. Maybe the one without disabilities just feels more of the pressure of life. Just because your children are not feeling joy and have a lot does not mean that those who have less are not happy. Different people are different ways. Life is funny that way. I learn a lot from both of them.

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

@wadepearson @Brink_Thinker That would be a great outcome!

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

If this is true, perhaps some lawyer could help them sue the city for not protecting their right to religious freedom.

🚨 NEW: The church that Don Lemon and other agitators stormed is STILL being harassed EVERY, SINGLE Sunday and St. Paul announced it will NOT pursue charges❗️

@jonathanparnell, the Lead Pastor of Cities Church, told me, that "Every Sunday, since January 18th, a group of agitators come and stand in front of our church building, and they harass people on their way to worship."

"They are trying to incite violence just like the people who invaded our church and desecrated our worship."

"They want to shut us down."

"But here's the thing, they picked the wrong church."

"We're not leaving. We're going to keep worshiping Jesus. We're going to keep spreading the Gospel."

Never forget that almost 34 years ago, we learned the government will kill your dog, shoot your 14-year-old son in the back, and snipe your wife in the doorway while she holds your infant child—all over how long the barrel of a shotgun is.

[emily may @emilykmay]

feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place when I talk about raising a disabled child, bc parents need more support and it's hard to advocate for that without describing what it involves.

but you describe it and ppl are like, "sounds like a miserable life."

What surprised you the most, and which one was your favorite? 🤔

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

@PotluckLauren If you are uncomfortable with finding a babysitter or just do not want to go without your baby, simply RSVP that you cannot come.

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

@boltedsage77 It might have been better if you had shared how you felt earlier however you were not wrong. You did not plan it nor did you agree to do the work so I am glad you had a restful time and your son can now better understand the workload you bear and so can his mother.

[Barbara Jordan @lessonlearned96]

@GOLDBABYO Since she does have a mom, then you are correct. Is the mom paying for childcare? Plus you are not married. Just dating so he needs to step back on his demands. If his extra shift is during his time with his daughter then he needs to pay for her childcare while he works.

Originally sentenced to 45 years in prison, Erin Strotman receives only 3 years after judge suspended the 42 years.

Disgusting. This isn’t justice.
