From: NEW: State Sen. to Introduce Bill Allowing Campus Cops to Pack Heat
in News
Regardless of how many citizens availed themselves of the new liberalized gun laws which permit concealed carry, and whether or not the oh so sensitive crowd likes it, those forty states which did liberalize their gun laws now enjoy low and falling rates of crime.Those states which hold to the socialist myth that 'guns cause crime' such as NY and IL enjoy high and climbing rates of crime.
'Packing Heat'? What is that? Are some people still wearing Zoot Suits and hauling Mr. Capone's 'hooch' to their customers by means of V-12 Touring Cars? The 1930s Roosevelt-engineered 'Great Depresssion', the Left's most beloved of miserable self-inflicted eras of misery, is over, isn't it? At least, that's what some people say.
For decades, likely since the age of majority was lowered if not prior to, college campi have experienced all the criminal foibles to which the rest of society is heir. Rapes, robberies, and general mayhem are no stranger to college campuses, so why persist in adhering to the inane belief that unarmed campus police somehow discourage crime?
As the shooting yet again at Virginia Tech demonstrates, thugs gravitate toward the clinton's much-ballyhooed 'Gun Free Zones', knowing that disarmed cops and defenseless students make easy targets.
This quaint notion of unarmed cops may make the blueblood Elites feel better about their tiresome obsolete philosophy, but it serves only to exacerbate the problem of on-campus criminal behavior.
Armed cops and armed citizens have a deterrent effect on crime, as criminals who do not like challenges become reluctant to prey on those who can defend themselves.
Like it or not, politically correct or not is irrelevant. That's the way it works.
It's why, among other reasons, The Second Ammendment so hated by leftists, communists, and other aspiring tyrants, was acknowledged as a standing inalienable right.

Brown's Mission
The mission of Brown University is to serve the community, the nation, and the world by discovering, communicating, and preserving knowledge and understanding in a spirit of free inquiry, and by educating and preparing students to discharge the offices of life with usefulness and reputation. We do this through a partnership of students and teachers in a unified community known as a university-college.

The games being played with these district lines are shameful. People are being disenfranchized by this process. Sending 7,000 voters to the first district is very dubious - perhaps Ciccline has plans under foot to steal the seat again. Rep. Lima is crying foul by losing 80% of her district to the sex abuser?RI is an open sewer that needs a good cleaning by roto-rooter!

It's coming to the point where the police are not able to level the playing field. People should have the right to carry arms as well as the police. The crime would drop dramatically.From: NEW: Brown Co-Ed Scout Willis Bares All in New Video

@Carol I agree. The way the state divides up its regulatory and law enforcement powers is really out of the ordinary. The Governor and his department heads have a really concentrated amount of legal authority that many Rhode Islanders are unaware of. The DBR, the DOH, and the DLT are a few executive departments that have significant legal responsibilities but for all intensive purposes have no accountability to the voters. The Governors office is the last place I would want legal work done!From: Guest MINDSETTER™ Chace Baptista: Achievement First is a Lifeboat

_________________________________David Cicilline "worked hard" to bring Providence's public schools to the brink of ruin.
And over and over again during the campaign, David Cicilline told us he was "proud" of what he did to our children and the public education system.
Which is to say, abuse them.
Have you had enough of the lying, incompetent, dishonorable David Cicilline?

As a public school teacher, I am sick and tired of listening to Gist’s snide, sarcastic little comments about teachers. The same teachers who work diligently day in and day out to foster educational reform without fanfare, without a political agenda, without media coverage, without utilizing students and teachers as laboratory animals to further their own personal education, and without a personal and financial relationship with the attempted corporate takeover of education.In case you’ve been living under a rock, the teachers’ unions in Rhode Island ARE the teachers. They are the teacher’s collective voice. Isn’t it funny how everyone seems to know what teachers are thinking and saying? If you were involved in the profession, you would know that teachers have an open dialogue with their leadership and ALL involved are collectively working toward improving public education. Isn’t it a shame that the Commissioner of Education in the state of Rhode Island puts her personal advancement and agenda ahead of our students and professionals?

@John: Don't get me wrong. I'm all for the CFPB and it's ashame the Congress is playing games with Obama's appointment. I would've preferred Elizabeth Warren for the nominee, but the plan may have been to get her to kick Scott Brown's butt in the next election. Thanks for the info about jurisdiction; I was unaware. Though knowing now that it''s under the jurisdiction of the RI Dept.. of Business Regulation only goes to show what a good-for-nothing, do-nothing administration we have here in RI. Lazy and overpaid to protect their own self-interests, with nary an action to help the tax paying citizens of this corrupt little fifedom.From: Redistricting Ruined by Rhode Island Politics

This state is a political cesspool. There's not a single decision made in this state, on any level, that isn't politically motivated. It's an embarrassment to call myself a Rhode Islander. Why is anyone really shocked at this story?Keep voting the same way and expect different results......the definition of insanity!!!!

@Carol Even if Kilmartin wanted to do something like Coakley, he couldn't. While Martha's office does have jurisdiction in that area, in Rhode Island, that falls under the Department of Business Regulation. Every state has different statues that fall under different departments. I for one applaud AG Kilmartin for this statement. The CFPB WOULD help Rhode Islanders who are screwed by the banking industry. I can appreciate your frustration Carol, but things arn't always as easy as people make them out to be.From: Redistricting Ruined by Rhode Island Politics

Look who's on the board.And do explain those non-performing under-achieving AF schools in CT. More political propaganda here.
In the USA, every student should be given an equal shot at a QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION, not just a select few.
How about a Mayoral Academy to train parents how to parent?! Then the public education quandary would be solved.

Nice to chime in on national politics, AG, but why don't you do something locally for RI'ers like Massachusetts' AG MARTHA COAKLEY and go after the banks responsible for subprime lending and the foreclosure crisis instead of sitting there on your bully pulpit. She's actually DOING SOMETHING. THE HOMEOWNERS IN RI AND THOSE SCREWED BY THE BANKING INDUSTRY NEED ACTION NOW. Why can't you get something done about it instead of being a windbag?<http://www.boston.com/realestate/news/blogs/renow/2011/12/ag_martha_coakl.html>

Jonnie? I'm not sure how many people call me Jonnie. I know, ZERO. Elections are effected by many factors and are not random, which is what statistics is about. Maybe the Republicans had bad, or at least worst candidates who had no money, no name recognition and no GROUND GAME. Close elections are not randomly distributed, they are won by people who know how to win them, without fraud being necessary.From: Julia Steiny: Stop Kicking Kids Out of School

OK, we hear the pain and calling for help from disruptive kids. We also see our classes diluted by these same kids at the cost of the majority of kids that are in school to be taught and learn.Social services has crowded out many of the educational benefits and made it an environment of lost causes and underperforming grades and dissatisfied teachers .
Kids have to learn consequences for their actions; responsibility has to be taught so they can understand that their destiny is in their hands and how that will impact them in each year of their lives. That should include the parent(s) participation and yes that might show some of the problems at home and possible intervention required to save the kid.
Yes, they need a chance, they need to be specially treated for their non-conformance.
Rather than put kids in with the daily classes, there needs to be a re-orientation effort that takes whatever time to help them either understands they have to conform or they are headed for a difficult future. This part of our educational system needs to be understood and developed to better handle this growing problem.

Flynn is the mouth piece for the UNION, not the teachers. He is doing his job, if he knows what that is, as a disrupting change to the way we teach in today’s world and time.I have talked to many teachers and there is a unanimous agreement that the UNION is an embarrassment to their profession. The UNION has been way to restrictive and regressive to allowing change to happen that would make the teacher more productive and self-satisfying with the teaching job they do.
The UNION does not speak for the teachers, the UNION speaks for self-serving control at the cost of our kids in the school system.
Let the teachers speak for themselves without intimidation and you will hear loud and clear that they want to be proud about their profession. Change is not an option, but change has to be specific with goals and accountable objectives to allow measurements for the effort. (None of which Flynn or the UNION is interested in.)

Why people don't just look at the record of the Dem controlled state government and ask why are these same people and party still in there?There is so much cronyism and corruption going on that is costing the tax dollars to be wasted in this state. We have the highest cost in the country for fire and education and we rate near the bottom in results, when will the people wake up in RI and vote all incumbents OUT, no matter what their affiliation?

Jonnie: I said based on statistical analysis utilizing predictive formulae the results fall outside the realm of reality.The closest 17 election contests for G.A. statewide (I can list them if you desire) with a margin of 5% or less of voters casting ballots exhibit abbereations beyond the norm.
Any norm.
They are ab-normal.
In an election, "abnormal" equates to theft.
Theft on the left results in what we have here in RI today. A broken state marked by kleptocracy, nepotism, and an organized criminal effort at the statehouse.
