Killing time before it kills me

A motorist was viciously beaten, tasered, and maced repeatedly, then charged with 24 separate crimes and maliciously prosecuted for every one of them. He was beaten four (4) times over the course of 11-hours, and not once had he acted maliciously. The incident stemmed from his driving while on an unusually high dosage of legally-prescribed bipolar medication and a subsequent fender bender. Dash-cam footage revealed the extraordinary exaggerations made about the case — 2 years after it took place.

”I have been working in the social sector for more than twenty years. I am very blessed that I get to work with people. I run a program that teaches teachers how to give quality education with a modern twist. Here in Nicaragua there is a traditional approach to education but we are trying to change that. We encourage children to think critical and to ask questions. I believe by giving children good education you are not only investing in their future but also in the next generations to come. Just because you are born poor doesn’t mean you don’t have a future. You just sometimes need an extra push.”
