The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Maybe they’re trying to contact relatives.

Yeah, lots of unconfirmed reports spreading through local news sources right now about multiple casualties. They just sent away medical choppers and half of their resources.

Confirmed all dead. Not clear when exactly they died. I'm skipping the next presser but I'm sure there will be more info coming out, but i gotta tune out of the play by play, this is so ****ed. Time to send my friend and her family some thoughts and prayers I guess.

That's terrible. Sorry that it's come into your life.

I hate to to bitch about a lack of media coverage since I don't expect major outlets to be journalistic anymore, but I think the likelihood of this being directly related to PTSD could have been a driver behind that coverage decision. And good decision on waiting out what is reported on. I'm trying to avoid breaking stories until an hour or so after they happen because breathless reporting always spouts off a lot of **** that I forget to fact check later on. I'm also not very good at it yet because that **** can be addictive.

A high school teacher in Louisiana is being investigated after a racially charged message appeared on his whiteboard Thursday, school officials and students told BuzzFeed News.

Parents and students of Pickering High School in Leesville alleged that math teacher Randolph Perez posted the derogatory message on his classroom's whiteboard, accusing one of his students of stealing a computer mouse.

The message read: "To the moronic, self-obsessed ethnic who stole the mouse from the back computer: the fact that you do not know both your parents, and that the so called adults that are caring for you can not afford a five dollar part because they are too busy buying drugs and coring cigars at the Shop-Rite does not change the fact that you are nothing more than a two bit thief and a waste of carbon and oxygen."

lol

Another teacher meltdown. Give this man a gun!

Like he gives a ****. The funny thing is he’s probably the only teacher they have who has enough respect to treat them how they deserve. The other teachers just use fancy teacher talk that boils down to they can’t learn because they’re retarded. I’m sure what he’s been trying to get across is the much more accurate they can’t learn because they’re *******s who never shut their ****ing mouths.

Terribly sorry to hear about this, Steph. It's always tough to be so close to a tragedy like that. Hope your friend will be okay.
