Angry Aidan
So let's talk about little Aidan for a minute. Aidan is the 8 year old in Colorado that was pepper sprayed by police. I won't really get in to the ethics of that part of the story. (Which knowing now that Aidan has a history of aggressive behavior and fits of rage, I think spraying and subduing him with minimal contact was absolutely the intelligent choice.)
But I want to talk about him. Aidan. The little boy that only acts up in school according to Mandy, his mom. Aidan who said yea I kinda meant to harm those teachers.
Who said yes I did mean it a little when I said I would kill the teachers and the police.
The kid who's mom said I don't know what sets him off in school but what more can do? I'm not at school with him.
The 8 year old second grader for whom grown ass police officers have had to be called in now for the 3rd time.
The 8 year old kid who says “It’s just the way my body goes. I can't control it for some reason." "It's just who I am, i think its not ever going to go away."
I know that I'm not alone when i say there is a very serious problem here. This kid has a problem. He had intent to harm other people. Whether its psychological, biological or emotional but Mandy.... Your son has a problem. Stop denying it and accept it so you can then get your child the help that he really needs.

Let's start off on a positive note...
Yes, because there's soooooo much negative ish to talk about later. May 1st I'm getting married. I finally found the right person for me. I'm marrying a wonderful Queens woman who loves my strengths, accepts my weaknesses and joins in to share the fun and laughter when I act a fool. I'm fortunate and blessed to have found the partner to share our future with. Thanks babe, for all you do and all you are. Here's lookin at you, kid.
What am I doing here?
Now in my older age I find that sometimes..... I actually have opinions on some things that go on in this world. Twitter often doesnt have enough characters to hold what I want to say and I dont feel like I should force everyone to read my opinions via facebook status. So here I am. Not sure how often I will post but you can be sure that when i do it will probably be because someone, somewhere, somehow, committed an act of utter and complete stupidity. Thanks for reading.
