[VIDEO] Autistic Boy Beaten By Bus Driver And Another Aide
This is absolutely disgusting and these women better get in some damn trouble for restraining this boy and then subjecting him to abuse for what appears to be, no reason.
This all took place in bedford County, Virginia in 2009. Timothy Kilpatrick was a young 11-year-old autistic boy and subjected to abuse while in the care of the bus driver whose job was to take him to and from school, safely. Luckily, both women, Alice Davis Holland (the bus driver) and Mary Alice Evans (a special education bus aide) have been convicted of assault and battery.
The authorities are still looking into evidence though for both Holland and Evans because it has been alleged that this was one of many ongoing attacks.
WSLS.com – Holland, of Bedford County, was sentenced to one month of active jail time and another 11 months of suspended time. Evans, of Bedford, received two months of active jail time and 10 months of a suspected sentence.
During this case, the two accepted a misdemeanor assault plea, and the prosecutor ironically enough dropped a separate felony child abuse charge. The family has decided to go after them on their own now.
These bitches are sick and should be thankful as all hell that this is the only crime caught on tape, otherwise they’d be sitting in jail much longer than a month or two. Ridiculous, beat a child, get caught on camera, and that’s all you get?

Very Happy about this and makes it a lot more clear why people are coming together and what their message is, to the government. Our economy and livelihood depend on the change that needs to take place.

This is a living document. you can receive an official press copy of the latest version by emailing c2anycga@gmail.com.
Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

What’s Better Than Wine? Weed Wine!
Seeing as I thoroughly enjoy wine, and also like me some marijuana, this is the perfect combination for someone like me. It’s also a great way to avoid inhaling marijuana which can often be harsh and more unhealthy that ingesting or vaporizing. Another great advantage? If you enjoy this during Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, or any holiday really, not a single family member would know that you were getting high off you ass. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.
Matthew Kronsberg on Gourmet Live writes that pot-infused wines are an open secret in wine country. He explains:
Adjusted for volume, “special” wines can range from under a pound of marijuana per 59-gallon barrel to over 4 pounds per barrel. The result is a spectrum ranging from a gentle, almost absinthe-like effect to something verging on oenological anesthetic.
Good wine deserves to be paired with good food, so perhaps a dish using homemade cannabis flour is the perfect match. Want something a little more exotic? Try bhang ki thandai, mad’joun or mie aceh, dishes from India, Morocco and Indonesia that all incorporate weed.
