The age of entitlement continues to thrive and fester. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania teachers are now at a standoff with school district administrators after leaving their posts. The teachers claim that excessively violent behavior, including physical violence, has forced the teachers to resign. The total number of teachers to walk from their positions is 45. Worse more, the teachers' claims are being levied against children as young as first grade.

The Harrisburg Education Association announced that the teachers' resignations began in July and have continued through October, prompting school officials to seek an urgent resolution over the matter.

Some of the accounts by teachers are disturbing. Teacher Amanda Sheaffer told Fox43 that she's been physically assaulted more than once.

"I have been hit, I have been kicked, I have been restrained from behind where I've been unable to move my arms," she said. "It really throws off the whole day. I mean, you have an incident happen and you have to do a room clear, get all the students out, and then after that you have to take the time to do the write-up, and you have to make sure security comes and gets the kids."

Homeless man rescues woman
A homeless veteran helped a young woman stranded on a highway near Philadelphia by buying her gas with his last $20. She repaid him with more than just a thank you.

On her fundraising page, Kate McClure, 27, wrote that she got stranded on a highway near Philadelphia late one night when her car ran out of gas. It was dark and she was all alone when suddenly she saw a man approach her car.

A homeless man named Johnny Bobbitt, 34, offered to help Kate and went to get gas for her car spending his last few bucks.

We regret to report to you that a well-known advocate for autistic people - Jeana Beck - died approximately November 17th near an Oregon hotel room where she had been staying.

Beck was the founder of Unlocking Autism and was traveling with her 23-year-old autistic son for a work trip and staying at Rodeway Inn. She reportedly went outside for a smoke break and never returned. She was reported missing. Tragically, her body was found the next night in a canal behind the hotel.

Strangely, police almost immediately ruled out foul play, according to health writer Erin Elizabeth of Healthnut News who has delved deep into the strange string of deaths that has rocked the alternative health community in the last year or so. We have touched on some of those stories on dead doctors but apparently the number has reached above 70 in less than a two-year period.

Elizabeth notes another strange twist - Beck was a supporter of Age of Autism, whose editor Dan Olmstead also died in an alleged suicide early this year.

Comment: Has this quick investigation done its job? Erin Elizabeth doesn't think so.

In a horrific instance of human-animal conflict, an elephant in north Bengal trampled a man to death when he stepped out of his vehicle on a highway to take a photograph of the tusker.

The incident took place at 5 pm in Lataguri forest area of Jalpaiguri district. The elephant brought traffic to a grinding halt when crossing National Highway 31.

Sadik Rahman, 40, a security guard at a Jalpaiguri bank, was on his way to work at the time and made the unfortunate mistake of getting out of his car to take photographs of the animal.

California State Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) announced Tuesday that he will resign next year after six women accused him of making unwanted sexual advances and unwelcome statements toward them.

The six women told the Los Angeles Times that Bocanegra sexually harassed them after the Assembly Rules Committee disciplined him for similar behavior in 2009.

The accusations date back to when Bocanegra, 46, served as a chief of staff, but he has also faced more recent allegations around the time he ran for office, and most recently while serving as a state legislator.

The women accused Bocanegra of a range of offenses, such as initiating unsolicited physical contact and emailing them soliciting dates.

Jon Venables, one of two boys convicted of the murder of toddler James Bulger, has been returned to prison again after he was caught with child abuse images for a second time.

Venables was 10 when he was jailed in 1993 alongside his friend Robert Thompson for murdering two-year-old James. He was released on licence in 2001 but returned to jail in 2010 for possessing indecent images of children.

The 35-year-old was once again arrested last week after officials found indecent material on a computer during a routine check at his home.

Whoopi Goldberg: "Stupid" UCLA players embarrassed their country and their president - who got "their a**es" out of China

Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts on ABC's "The View" expressed their astonishment Thursday at the fact that three UCLA freshmen basketball players were accused of shoplifting while on a team trip to China.

The players were arrested by Chinese police and only released this week after President Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to intercede. Goldberg said the players embarrassed Trump and the country, but credited the president for helping the players return to the U.S.

"You embarrassed your families, you embarrassed the country, and you embarrassed the president," Goldberg said. "Now I'm not a big fan of the president, but the fact that he had to call and get your asses out of there is not anything to be proud of or think is cool."

"If this isn't the stupidest thing a young person has done, particularly if you're over six-feet tall, and black-" she continued.

"You kinda stick out," Sunny Hostin interjected.

"Is this just the ridiculous stupidity of youth?" Goldberg asked, recounting how they were detained for stealing items from a Louis Vuitton store in a foreign country without many black people.


Comment: What should we expect? America is the exceptional nation. Its athletes, by default, are equally exceptional. Shouldn't they be able to take whatever they want, whenever they want? Isn't that what the U.S. does?

Men with more than one wife will qualify for extra benefits under the new welfare system, according to official House of Commons research.

Under the universal credit welfare system, which is not expected to be fully introduced until 2021, polygamous households will be rewarded with higher benefits, The Sunday Times reports.

In the UK, it is illegal to marry more than one person.

Polygamous marriages, largely confined to Muslim families, are only recognised in Britain if they took place in countries where they are legal, such as Middle Eastern states, Pakistan and Zambia.

There no official figures but it is estimated that there may be as many as 20,000 polygamous marriages in the British Muslim community.

Currently, a husband and his first wife are paid up to £114.85 a week. Subsequent spouses living under the same roof receive around £40 each.

More remains of U.S. soldier found in Niger after widow questioned whether he was in casket for funeral

Additional remains of a U.S. soldier killed in a mysterious Niger ambush were reportedly found in the African nation earlier this month - even though his funeral had already been held, with his widow questioning whether he was even in the casket.

The military and an FBI team in Niger discovered more remains of Sgt. La David Johnson about a month after he and three other American soldiers were killed in the ambush, CNN reported Tuesday. The announcement adds another layer of confusion to the ambush, which is still under investigation and has led to continuing factual disputes.

Johnson's wife, Myeshia Johnson, had told ABC News in October the military barred her from seeing her husband's body, making her very suspicious of what was in the casket at his funeral in later that month. It was a closed casket funeral.

"They won't show me a finger, a hand. I know my husband's body from head to toe, and they won't let me see anything," she said. "I don't know what's in that box. It could be empty, for all I know."

Comment: The reason there's so little information about the ambush because the American troops were in all likelihood acting illegally:
Nigerien soldier contradicts Pentagon narrative: Special forces were on search-and-destroy mission. It really says a lot about military leadership that they would not only send these men on an illegal mission and lie about it, but then lie to the deceased's widow about the whereabouts of his body. But then, when you're in the business of butchery, what more should we expect?

Flood of sexual assault allegations coming out of Hollywood puts LAPD into uncharted territory

The flood of sexual assault allegations coming out of the Hollywood entertainment industry has the Los Angeles Police Department negotiating uncharted territory.

Never before has the department received so many sexual assault allegations involving high-profile figures at one time, including many complex cases that are years old with multiple alleged victims, officials say.

The department has re-engineered its detective staff to deal with the influx. The LAPD has established five teams of two detectives to exclusively investigate allegations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood. The teams include members of the cold-case unit, because those detectives are experts in dealing with old criminal allegations that lack physical evidence.

"They know where to go. They know how to jog people's memories," said LAPD Capt. Billy Hayes, who oversees the Robbery-Homicide Division and is managing the task force. "We've [gotten] an unprecedented number of calls."

The LAPD now has 28 open investigations related to Hollywood and media figures, including mogul Harvey Weinstein, actor Ed Westwick, writer Murray Miller and agent Tyler Grasham. The department has also taken 37 other sex crimes reports that it has sent to other law enforcement agencies, believing the alleged crimes occurred in those jurisdictions.
