I think this guy was one of the illegals that my manager hired. They came and did my apartment complex's landscaping Saturday (honestly - same shirt and all). I could be wrong though, but I swear I just saw this guy. The guys are good, but most of them need papers, if you ask me. Either way, I hope the guy recoups well. What a horrible injury!

Go to Lion's field. Raw sewage spilling out from open pipes EVERYWHERE. It's disgusting! Needless to say, we do NOT go to the "beaches" here. Wouldn't even if you paid me a million bucks! And might I add...WHO THE HECK PUTS A SEWAGE MANHOLE ON A BEACH when this manhole is covered in OPEN WATER every time the tide comes in!? Did they hire a PRESCHOOLER to plan this junk!? (Wait...that would be an insult to the preschooler...sorry. They're more educated than the city planners here!)

I know, because in raising a VERY troubled and mentally ill wildchild (my dad's other daughter was raised by myself and my husband from 10 on up), we've been through some MAJOR counseling and behavioral training on what to look for and WHY these things happen. Taking off at 11 years old is NOT normal - not even for one who has mental health issues! CPS needs to do an investigation ASAP, in my opinion! Seems to me that she was running from SOMETHING - now it needs to be found out WHAT she was running from!

The boy is terrified and horribly upset! AND HE TOLD HIS GRANDMA that it was point blank and intentional, as well as several of the OTHER children who witnessed it - so I suggest you speak with these other children. I also spoke with another parent today who's daughter is in that class and sits very close, and he got the same story from HIS daughter. Loving, caring and sensitive my A$$! At 9, he knows using a gun is WRONG, and DEADLY. Pretty "loving and caring" to shoot a little girl (unintentional or not) in the stomach and traumatize his classmates, right? Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:55:30 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Medics-treating-shot-student-at-Bremerton-elementary-140050373.html#IDComment300251337 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Medics-treating-shot-student-at-Bremerton-elementary-140050373.html#IDComment299548681 I haven't had a look at the newstribune yet, but a family member of mine knows the adult (relative) caregiver of the witness very well, and was informed of this by that adult not too long after this happened. This is how I have gotten the info. The little boy who witnessed all of this is very shaken up and upset, and came home and told what happened (after recounting to the police, of course). He was questioned at length on the issue, as he witnessed it all from the beginning to end. Apparently the boy with the gun was a very emotionally unstable boy with a lot of problems, and has a habit of getting into trouble from what I was told. He was recently transferred from another school (not sure if it was due to him getting into trouble, or some other reason), and he was not at all happy that he had no friends in the new school. I am not sure what prompted him to shoot this particular girl, but it leaves me wondering how the ammo got into the gun if it was a supposed "accident," as the police wish to lable this. People who own guns just don't tend to leave ammo in their weapons like that. And where the heck were the PARENTS to not notice a deadly weapon missing from their home, or to leave it where the boy could have gotten to it!? If I didn't know the Child "Protective" Services' incompetence around here, I'd say that they need to do some SERIOUS home investigation on this household. Chances are that they won't though. CPS in Kitsap County is a JOKE and can't follow through on anything for the life of them. Either way, I hope Amina makes a speedy and safe recovery. Poor girl didn't deserve ANY of this!

The boy with the gun was just transferred to Armin, and was a VERY troubled boy who got into trouble repeatedly. According to the other boy who witnessed it from close range, the boy did it INTENTIONALLY. (There were also words exchanged, as to make it KNOWN it was intentional, from what I gathered.) He was really "mad" that he didn't have any friends at his new school, from what I understand, and decided to take it out on this girl via shooting her. "Accidentally went off in the backpack" my A$$! And yes, the other boy DID speak at length with the police to make this known. Why it's not being placed in the news is beyond me.

SOOOO many TD for this comment! #1....I was trying to be snarky and silly...but.... #2, there is some truth to it! NOT EVERYBODY WAS BLESSED WITH AN EVEN HALF WAY DECENT GRANDMOTHER! Mine hates EVERYONE and lives to make anyone she can miserable! If all of you who gave rude comments of TD me, must KNOW...my "GRANDMONSTER" is an KNOWN abusive psychopath who does mean things to people INTENTIONALLY - to where even a JUDGE has laid into her and told her to stay away from the family for her bizarre and highly inappropriate behavior! Haven't dealt with her since I was a young child because of how awful she is! Does that sound like a nice grandma to you!? Heck no! Thus, why noneof the family has dealt with her in 20+ years, and why I'd have LOVED to have an awesome nanna like Dorli, who doesn't just care about herself, but cares about EVERYONE and their rights enough to take one for the team! So YES! Dorli is SOOO much more nice than my grandma - but she's also one tough cookie for being able to take a face full of pepper spray and shrug it off! (REGAURDLESS of WHY she was sprayed - that doesn't matter!) YOU should be ashamed that you APPROVE of an elderly woman getting sprayed in the face with mace - she was obviously doing no more than standing somewhere (probably quietly and peaceably!) exercising her right to assemble, and exercising her right to freedom of speech! SOMETHING THAT MANY HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES TO GAIN FOR ALL OF US!! Now this just shows why this country is going down the toilet - most have a complete lack of empathy towards others! SHAME ON YOU! Where is your humanity, or are you just that self-centered and self-righteous that you could think this is ok...and then put someone down for trying to say something NICE about the lady!?! That's just SHAMEFUL of you! And by the way...NOWHERE in this, did I say that I CONDONE the "Occupy" movements that are happening - because I DON'T. I just think she's awesome for standing up for what she believes - whether we agree with it or not! It's her RIGHT!

If people knew anything about my "Grandmonster," their heads would spin! Dorli is like SUPERNANNA compared to mine!

Can I trade her in for Dorli? :) I'd be proud to call her nanna! lol She's one tough cookie!

I am in one of the spots that was hit the WORST from that storm and went 3+ days without power! Ended up hypothermic and with a bit of frostbite from it (not allowed generators where I am), and it was NOT fun trying to keep myself and our tropical birds from LITERALLY freezing to death! Worst Thanksgiving EVER!

I've had that Norovirus crud once and I don't wish that on ANYONE! I seriously thought I was going to die when I had it. HORRIBLE stuff!

I do have a SERIOUS question though (so please don't TD me just for asking, because I am honestly curious as to the differences)... is this story as serious as they're making it, or has the news story been a bit blown out of proportion for appearances/ratings? I only ask, because my husband has the same thing - except on a much bigger scale, and he's just fine and dandy. My husband has Situs Inversus TOTALIS - meaning ALL of his organs are on the opposite side from what they are in a normal person (liver is on his LEFT side, stomach on right, etc.). My husband also has Kartagener Syndrome - which usually goes hand in hand with Situs Inversus, and that's the only downside to his health/being backwards. Makes him get lung infections and sinus infections. PLUS side...he also has no upper sinus cavity though (yet ANOTHER rarity - though unrelated), so no upper sinus infections!
