$100,000 raised for bus monitor

Wesley Helm could be Black. As far as I know, the public doesn't know what he looks like. But Wesley... come on.

You've got a point. Try as I might, I can't think of a single black man named Wesley. Nope. Not one. Certainly not one we'd all be familiar with.

[Al B. Sure!]

Okay but still Blacks are like 12% of the population in this country and are probably nonexistent in that upstate New York town.

The racial makeup of the town was 93.37% White, 2.88% Black or African American, 0.24% Native American, 1.49% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.87% from other races, and 1.12% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.55% of the population.

2.88%. Though they did defy the odds with a Latino and an Asian kid so who knows.


Still. Only in the Oerdiniverse were the kids Black when 3 of them are confirmed to not be Black. We're speculating on the fourth kid.

He claims that 'right wingers' are playing it up for all its worth. Maybe they're wrong and they're spreading misinformation that the kids were Black.

I'm about as right wing as they come, and my right wing sources said explicitly that they weren't black. Christ, you would think that Dinner would be at least as accurate as right wingers.

Sadly, there is also a racial component to the sensationalizing of this incident because the old lady was white and the children slinging abuse at her were black children.

And after they were done, they threw trash in the Tijuana!

[Aeson]

If he were Black, though, it would be an Asian, white, Latino, and Black tag-team

The moral of this story is that multiculturalism leads to attacks on innocent old ladies. Attacks on innocent old ladies leads to lots of money raised. So multiculturalism is a good thing and we should attack as many innocent old ladies as possible to raise money to promote multiculturalism and more attacks on old ladies.

[Al B. Sure!]

Let's see if Oerdin responds to the proof of his errancy. He didn't respond when it was shown the Mexican authorities were in the dark regarding Operation Fast and Furious, despite Oerdin's erroneous claim.

[Al B. Sure!]

Still waiting

What have you accomplished this week aside from proving Oerdin said something wrong?

[Uncle Sparky]

So... if poor old grandmama was hired to maintain discipline on the bus, wouldn't her reaction to a group of rude, crude 13 year olds show she was an absolute failure? Yes, I feel sorry for her, but I would never award her for being a poor fit for her job. 13 year old boys are, in general little sh*ts. Everyone knows that. Hire someone who can deal with them.

[DinoDoc]

She's not really allowed to slap the little ****s around.

Maybe it's not an accomplishment, but it's just for ****s and giggles.

I'm going to become a bouncer, get the **** kicked out of me, and strike it rich

My point is, if Ben can be trained to control kids that age, a chimp should be able to be trained to keep the kids under control without resorting to violence. The woman couldn't do her job. If you've given her money, remember the next time you have a really bad waiter or useless salesperson, start a fund for them... maybe they can retire.

IIRC, bus monitors are there to keep students safe from other students - preventing fist fights and all that sort of thing. So by focusing all the negativity on her, she actually was doing her job because other students weren't being bullied .
