Redundant posting - I just like the headline better.

The woman was hospitalized for two days after a 13-year-old student – one of three who had been taunting her son – “essentially jumped my client,” Santiago said.
She suffered a fractured eye socket, bruises and a bloodied eye that remained red for days.
The day before the attack, Ruiz’s son endured taunts in the cafeteria of Passaic Gifted and Talented Academy School No. 20, according to the attorney.
“They were chanting, ‘Mexicans should go back behind the wall,’” Santiago said. When the boy countered, “We all come from immigrants,” the bullies threatened violence, Santiago said.
When the boy reported the incident to school officials, they sequestered him for the remainder of the day, either in an office or classroom, Santiago said.

Odds that this kid will be tried as an adult in court?
(virtually none, I’d wager)

So the lesson is that if you report bullying, you will be punished. Gotta love it!

From Trump today via the guardian:
Trump sounding like an idiot who could easily blunder into a serious war any minute:
Q: “Do you have an exit strategy for Iran, if war does break out?”
Trump: “You’re not going to need an exit strategy. I don’t do exit strategies.”
And from earlier:
Q: “What message did you want to send to [Iran]?”
Trump: “There is no message. You know what, I’ll tell you what the message is: When they’re ready ... let isn’t know. When they’re ready, they’ll let us know.”
Q: “Ready to negotiate?”
Trump: “Ready to do whatever. Doesn’t make a difference. Whatever they want to do, I’m ready.”

Sadly, at this point, all I have to hear is how the authorities have handled the suspect to know whether it’s a PoC or not. If they are alive, unbeaten and treated with even the tiniest modicum of human dignity, then I know they must be White.

Pretty sure Trump is telling Khamenei he’s DTF.
In an uncharacteristically-candid-for-morning-TV moment someone on Morning Joe said, “What is the type of woman you like to rape?”

He inherited daddy’s pious fraud business, and probably never had to work an honest job any day of his life.
Nice come-back:
