While police found no issue with high school senior Erin Cox when they broke up an underage-drinking party, the school district delivered harsher judgment. According to WBZ in Boston, a friend at the party who was too drunk to drive had called Cox for a ride. When Cox arrived, police were right behind her.
Cox hadn’t been drinking and was not in legal trouble while many other students were. But in the aftermath, Andover High School said that she violated the school district’s zero tolerance policy against drug and alcohol use. Subsequently, Cox was demoted from her captaincy of the volleyball team and suspended for the next five games.
You know what I forgot to do?
Do you remember when I posted the skater vs. hater video about an evil shrew who accused a child of raping his friends because he committed the damnable crime of skating on a public street too close to her house?
I had happened to leave a supportive message on his video, and he responded. We had a nice talk and he has since become a friend on Facebook.
I also gave him a link to this blog, so he could see all the supportive comments we all made.
He sent me this message via YouTube.
Types pretty well for a nineteen-year-old, doesn't he?
But we helped someone who was carrying around a heavy burden of anger and resentment for five years. So, thanks, everyone.

"What do you think you know about John Lennon? Think again."
Thanks for the pointer, Patrick! I just added Listverse to my favorite sites. Didn't you love those comments? But, Gandhi! But, Abraham Lincoln!

Meanwhile, Japanese television viewers are being asked to vote on their country's most attractive male and female sailors. The Japanese navy, by the way, is called the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

How many cops does it take to conduct a chase?

This news story made me miss the late, great Mr Elmore Leonard. He could have invented this character.
