Gee, I wonder why his self-described biography doesn't mention any of the previous shitholes he worked at?

The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: Diamond Ranch Academy is trying to silence statements from former students

This really begs the question: Why now?
There's the disturbing idea that DRA has found/bribed a Utahn judge to do its dirty work and is now using that judge to get rid of its enemies. One wonders why it hasn't done this sort of thing some time ago.
There's another possibility: Somebody, probably somebody who works/worked there, has access to the parents' contact information and is sending them links to those sites, so a few have finally wised up and pulled their kids.

Reading this lawsuit, a few things become apparent:
- The justifications for Utah jurisdiction do not always work (their statements made it to Utah, so it's Utah jurisdiction!). Whether or not this kind of thing works entirely depends on the judge, and, given the nature of DRA and the local area, DRA's almost certainly in bed with the judge it's requested.
- DRA's still fucking stupid and supremely arrogant, because actual trial would be a wonderful way to bring out all of the dirty laundry it really doesn't want to have entered as evidence. I can't imagine it wants an actual trial. Probably just a way of intimidating them into settling (again, pure arrogance).
- It doesn't think the defendants have good lawyers. Maybe they don't. Maybe it would be a good time to get them some.

Between their more or less constant torture, abuse, and "accidental" murder of "students" at DRA, I'm surprised they have time to file lawsuits.

Let's talk about the weather... / Re: Thoughts about Boko Haram's intervention
« on: May 15, 2014, 10:57:02 AM »
A couple of points-
1. Boko Haram at least admitted what they were doing. It was in revenge for their comrades being captured, and they have offered to perform an exchange of prisoners. (Note to Nigeria: Stop taking Boko Haram members prisoner. Just shoot them. It's more humane, less expensive, and prison breaks of Islamic militants have happened.)
2. In the US, it's not morals from 1970; that would be after the counterculture of the 60's. No, they're actually aiming for a heavily fictionalized version of the 50's.

In November we will do the one thing I have planned for six years. All his Brothers and sisters will go to Disneyland in his memory. You see when Caleb and I talked before he left for that last program I told him when he gets home it will be summer. So we will finally go to lagoon as promised. Lagoon is like a tiny little Disneyland. We didn't get to do that. Well, I told my family when this is all over we will all go to Disneyland in Caleb's memory. We will wear shirts with his pic on them, and so that's what we are doing. I am having shirts made and we are making plans now. I'm so excited so is all the kids. We will be there with Caleb in our hearts!!!!
YOUR KID JUST DIED, WHATTA YA GONNA DO

The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: Economy won over justice
« on: April 13, 2014, 12:16:45 PM »In the motion to dismiss, Little wrote that in addition to lying, "several of the alleged victims in this case are unable and unwilling to participate in the prosecution due to (severe) psychiatric and emotional issues."
Because, as we all know, raping girls with mental problems is A-OK.
Were the girls still trapped there this whole time? Who wants to take a wild guess as to how many times they were told over and over that they lied about it after he raped them?
