On the summons it will have instructions. It usually says to call the night before after 5pm to check to see if you need to show up.

Like what? Nothing else seems to be working to stop any of this. So, unfortunately, some people are going to the extreme.

I heard talks of a walk out or not go to school due to hostile environment.

Just China and Russia testing us.

Probably? The teacher of whatever class we were in probably told us. It was in the years right after Columbine- an announcement went over the PA system saying “Mr Smith is in the building” or something and that meant we all had to go stand in the corner, behind the teachers desk.

We all knew it wasn’t going to work if there actually was a situation.

Every time I’ve had jury duty, I called a number and didn’t have to go. So I thought that was a thing. I don’t remember if it was stand by

Agreed, I just didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole of how much of a garbage science the SFSTs really are.

Totally agree, I really wanted in-person, but realized this was less important to me than the therapist’s qualifications, so I decided to “settle” for online…and im really happy with this therapist and would have never connected with her if I’d stuck to in-person. I am really fortunate to have solid internet in a rural area, so thankfully that isn’t an additional barrier in my case.

I;ll soon be 68, wth happened to our country?

I mean, they might not send out a memo and announce it in school the day before. But the kids would 100% know they were having a drill before the drill actually happened. They weren’t left to believe that it was an active situation. That’s insane.

“We’re being tough on crime”

I tell people I work with especially if their case hits the news, like yeah they are going to toss the book at you so they can say that they are tough on crime, but they will most likely plea you way down so they can get the guilty plea so that can say “look how many convictions I got, I’m tough on crime”

Our bill nearly doubled since December stating the same as everyone else. That our usage has increased even though our habits haven't changed in the slightest, if anything I've been home less with working more.

I believe the only way that things will get resolved is if people come together and make something happen.

I miss those chocolates. I am eating low-carb, so Cadbury is out for me. Ghirardelli and Lindt both have high cocoa, low sugar bars. I usually splurge when they come on sale at 2-for-1.

Sounds like something the white terror Republican extremists will do when they want to go bigger than shooting up the power grid.

Hollidaysburg didn’t get a call, they locked things down because of Altoona getting the call. But at least those kids didn’t have to look at a full-sized Pride flag while they were in lock down.

Agree with it or not, when people don't care about the other forms of protest, or actual school shootings, this protest seems to be gaining people's attention.

I think I’m a few years older than you. I had just turned 23 when Columbine happened and was in my senior year of college. I’ve worked at universities since 2001, and had threats after Virginia Tech, as well as for random reasons. My kids have had so many lockdowns… It never gets easier, and it’s way too much!

They will also have to do "Alcohol Highway Safety School Classes" even though their DUI has nothing to do with alcohol. Our DUI laws are never being updated to be fair to defendants. Just to increase punishments for political capital with voters.

A blood test will show significantly higher levels if you just smoked a month ago vs. just smoked an hour ago. Like 50nanograms per ml vs. 5ng/ml.

Blood tests are absolutely standard in DUI investigations. They just don't care the level of the results in marijuana right now. They should, if we are seeking to punish actual impairment.
