A Fort Jackson trainee is in custody after allegedly hijacking a school bus full of students on its way to Forest Lake Elementary School in Columbia, South Carolina, the Richland County sheriff said.

According to Lott, the suspect brought the kids to the front of bus, where they started asking questions about if he was going to hurt them or the driver. According to Lott, the suspect got frustrated and had the children and driver get off the bus.

1) Fuck this guy for hijacking a school bus
2) This is exactly how this should've played out - the kids act their age and force you to abandon them.
3) Fuck this guy.

Why couldn’t he just go off himself in the bathroom like any good trainee.....

Of course most of the msm hasn't covered this, because you know, black liberals can't be racist. Sure FNC has covered it. CNN- nary a peep. Course if she had been a white conk, CNN, along with the rest of the lefty media, would have been all over this headline news for days..

She must “identify” as black.

This is why I always advocated for body cameras. This woman was the source of numerous frivolous police complaints, causing issues for several different officers and eating up hundreds of hours of IA investigation time.

Now with this video they can effectively ignore her and possibly even charge her with making false reports if she keeps up her shenanigans.

For every one incident where a bodycam implicates and officer in misconduct, there are literally hundreds and thousands of instances where they easily exonerate the officers.

Yep.

Proof (and not the fuzzy video)?

[Pwns]

Have we considered that white liberals that think every white person has deeply-entrenched racism in their psyches that they have to work daily push against are just projecting?

Yes.

Also kindness.

Numerous news outlets reporting it.

Where is there any proof that's she's not black, or is white? What would give you that idea?

New York AG reveals CNN, MSNBC parent companies funded millions of fake net neutrality comments

The Office of New York Attorney General Letitia James has revealed in a new report that nearly 18 million of the more than 22 million comments the FCC received during its 2017 rulemaking were fake, intended to support the repeal of net neutrality, the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should provide all online content equally and prevent them from favoring their own services or customers over their competitors.

A $4.2 million effort funded by Broadband for America, which includes major internet providers like AT&T, Comcast and Charter, reportedly accounted for more than 8.5 million of the fake FCC comments. Millions more were submitted by a teenage college student in California.

Lying, cheating jackals.

Wow. Missing the jobs number by almost 750,000 jobs.

Back to the years of Obama and over inflating numbers to only revise them down later.

FWIW, I've see tons of help wanted signs around here and at the beach last weekend.

I'm waiting for StOnge to tell us this is a carryover from Obama and it was Trump that wrecked it for Biden.

You sign up for the bikini watcher job at the beach?

Why can’t you take the entire system offline? We had pipelines long before the internet.

I drove all around Brevard, Hendersonville and the backroads of NC/SC this weekend going to/from Charlotte. Every town, just about every fast food place and many more businesses all have " Now Hiring" signs out front. One place even had it's retention bonus on the sign. Told Mrs.CCU it was a sign of the times to see business hurting (and one was closed) b/c they can't find workers.

I'm betting you there are improved efficiencies and safety measures with the tech and being online. Ransomware and hacks like it weren't a thought when things like the electric grid of oil/gas pipelines were put online. But that isn't an excuse for not beefing up protection and staying ahead of the cyber criminals - ESPECIALLY when we know this is the sort of target they'll go after.

The fact that FireEye is involved makes me feel good about it - they're phenomenal.

Wonder if the hackers are using the tools they stole from FireEye when they were hacked.

You referring to SolarWinds? I'm sure FE has mitigated any potential threat that could come from that compromise - or are in the process of creating tools to ID when they're own tech is being used. I've worked with them and go to conferences where they are at - that company is on top of it. They're forward thinking. Maybe these tools are the stolen ones from the NSA - remember that in 2016?

I've been saying it for over 10 years (and repeatedly here) that the Russians are some of the most advanced, sophisticated nation-state sponsored hackers. Our leaders, all of them, going back to Obama have failed to protect us and defend us. Obama, Trump, Republicans and Democrats have utterly failed us. They've spent years practicing the very attacks we're seeing now. It's clear that the Ukraine is no-longer their cyber war proving grounds.

Hard to tell from the article, but it stated that FireEye was investigating a breach in their security when they discovered the SolarWinds issue.

Can't tell if that means FireEye was investigating the SolarWinds issue within their own network or found it looking at a different issue.

But yes, I was thinking about those NSA tools as well.
