ITT, I record how fucking awful Florida is

[Kenneth Kenstar]

Expect this to be a 500 page topic.

The aim of this topic is to convince other Americans that we seriously need to do something about Florida. Kicking them out of the union and requiring passports is a good start.

But, really, I'll just have the evidence speak for itself. There is no need for me to explain myself.

I'm even going to be fair to Florida and not count any past fuck ups. That would just take too long anyway.

So, we'll start with today's Florida story.

Nurse refuses student inhaler during asthma attack

School says medical release form lacked parent's signature

DELTONA, Fla. -
Volusia County School officials stand by a Deltona High School nurse's decision to refuse a student his inhaler during an asthma attack, citing a lack of a parent's signature on a medical release form.

"It's like something out of a horror film. The person just sits there and watches you die," said Michael Rudi, 17. "She sat there, looked at me and she did nothing."

He said the school dean found his inhaler during a search of his locker last Friday. The inhaler was still in its original packaging -- complete with his name and directions for its use; however, the school took it away because his mother hadn't signed the proper form for him to have it.

Nurse refuses student inhaler during...
School leaders called Sue Rudi when her son started having trouble breathing. She rushed to the office and was taken back to the nurse's office by school administrators and they discovered the teen on the floor.

"As soon as we opened up the door, we saw my son collapsing against the wall on the floor of the nurse's office while she was standing in the window of the locked door looking down at my son, who was in full-blown asthma attack," Rudi said.

Michael Rudi said when he started to pass out from his attack, the nurse locked the door.

"I believe that when I closed my eyes I wasn't going to wake up," he said.
The Director of Student Health Services, Cheryl Selesky, said that parents must sign the medical release form each year, which allows students to carry their prescribed drugs with them in school.

This year, the district had no record of his Rudi's signature, said Selesky.

"I mean its common sense if I saw an animal on the street in distress I would probably stop to help, why wouldn't she help a child," Sue Rudi said.
But Rudi is a senior, and his mother said the district has had records of his asthma throughout his years in the school.

She thinks her son could have died because of a technicality.

"How dare you deny my son something that we all take for granted, breath," said Sue Rudi. "Why didn't someone call 911?"

Selesky said the district is looking into whether proper procedures were followed by the school, and while nurses can't give medications without the proper authorization, it is district policy to call 911 when a student cannot breath.

Selesky could not explain why 911 was never called.

"I understand if you can't give it to him call 911," Sue Rudi said. "Why did you not call 911?"

Sue Rudi said she worries about the next student caught in a similar situation, and has filed charges against the nurse with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

"I want to press child endangerment charges for something they did to my son," Rudi said in the 911 call.

Local 6 reached out to the school district officials for more information, but they declined to interview.

Okay, this one does NOT count! It's worth just mentioning, however, and I want to fill this topic with a bit more content before I wait for more Classic Florida stories. This is from 3 days ago.

Half of Florida high school students fail reading test

Results this year from the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test showed 52 percent of freshman students and 50 percent of sophomores scored at their grade levels.

Students in the 10th grade must pass the exam in order to eventually graduate but can retake it if they fail.

The results came days after the Florida State Board of Education voted to lower the standards needed to pass the writing part of the test, known as FCAT. The test is administered in public elementary, middle and high schools.

The board took the action in an emergency meeting when preliminary results indicated only about one-third of Florida students would have passed this year.

"We are asking more from our students and teachers than we ever have, and I am proud of their hard work," Florida Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson said in a statement.

"As Florida transitions to higher standards and higher expectations, we can expect our assessment results to reflect those changes."

I'm sorry I broke my rule already, but like I said, this one doesn't count and I'm going to give Florida a real chance here.

And if anything adverse had happened to the child due to the medication (inhaler) or any other treatment provided, not only the nurse but the entire school district could be sued for extensive damages and legal penalties. That is not state related - any school following procedure would have done the same. Easy solution to the problem: read and sign the papers required of you to have done what you need done. The 911 bit can't be defended. Just a lack of thought, although that isn't state related, either.

Suppose you are a doctor. A child walks into your office and the child has an infection. The infection needs to be treated immediately, otherwise, let's say she loses an arm over this and could likely die if it isn't treated.

So, you need to treat this arm infection. However, the child does not have a parent with them and there is no parental consent given in any way.

So, what do you do?

This is a tonicular question given to med and dental students, especially on entrance exams. It's sort of a illusion question, because people have an instinct to sort of "protect the integrity of the profession" only within legal bounds. People are afraid of destroying their careers by doing what is right.

That said, the correct answer is to treat the child. Fire that fucking nurse.

[Fake from State Jarm]

we live in an overly litigious society that perceives the government as a massive, uncontrollable, self-sustaining entity for which they hold no responsibility; its employees are sometimes treated as members of a different society and any mistake they make is likely to be over-scrutinized. but in principle, I agree with you.

Miami police shoot naked man chewing on victim's face

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/26/11899538-report-miami-police-shoot-naked-man-chewing-on-victims-face#.T8G20IoP8Hk.tumblr

A Miami police officer fatally shot a naked man chewing the face of another man Saturday afternoon on a downtown causeway off-ramp, officials said.


The Miami Herald reported that the naked man chewed off half the face of his victim, who is struggling for his life.
The violence started at 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, just south of the Herald’s offices, the newspaper said.

Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon the naked man mauling the other man, the Herald reported.

The officer, who was not identified, ordered the naked man to back away, but when the man continued the assault, the officer shot him, the Herald said. Witnesses told the Herald the wounded attacker continued to eat his victim, so the officer continued firing.

Witnesses said they heard at least a half-dozen shots, the Herald said.

The naked man was later seen lying face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage, the Herald said.

The naked man’s victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center and had critical injuries, police told the Herald.

Neither man was identified.

“Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,’’ Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police’s Fraternal Order of Police, told the Herald.

A police department news release about the shooting did not include many details provided by witnesses to the newspaper.

Police requested surveillance video that had been obtained by the newspaper, the Herald reported.

The shooting and investigation tied up causeway traffic as crowds were arriving at South Beach for an annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival.

Color me fucking shocked. Shocked.

Florida is fucking with voter eligibility during a presidential election year.

They've been doing this awhile under the guise of stopping felons and non-citizens from voting.

And of course, they are fucking this shit up so it gets posted.

NPR looks at the voter purge going on in Florida: “Bill Internitonic, a 91-yar-old World War II veteran, was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., and now lives in Florida's Broward County. He recently received a letter from county elections officials asking him to show proof he was a U.S. citizen or be removed from the voting rolls. Internitonic says he was ‘flabbergasted.’ …

“Internitonic's was one of more than 180,000 names Florida's secretary of state identified from motor vehicle records as possible noncitizens. Several weeks ago, the secretary's office sent county elections supervisors a first batch of some 2,600 names. County officials, who are also preparing for the state's August primary, started sending out letters to suspected noncitizens, saying they had 30 days to prove their citizenship or be removed from the voting rolls.”

More: “Democrats and voting-rights groups say the majority of those targeted by the purge are Hispanics and other minority voters. Last week, a coalition of voting-rights groups sent a letter to Detzner asking him to immediately call a halt to the voter purge because they say it's both unfair and illegal. … The secretary of state's office says it reads the law differently and plans to continue its efforts to remove ineligible voters from the rolls.”

Is honestly anyone surprised by this? Of course there will always be these kinds of mistakes, but remember this state should be under extra scrutiny but it's past fuckups ESPECIALLY in this regard.

This is all without mention that the idea that felons shouldn't be allowed to vote is questionable and that people are only given 30 days before their right to vote is revoked.

Let me ask you, the people, something. Who should have the power to say you can not vote for any reason? Shouldn't this sort of power be welded by like, oh gee I don't know, maybe a Judge with the backing of a court system?

Reminder: This government belongs to me and you. Belongs. It's ours. We need to get more possessive of ti in general.

Hey Florida. Wake the fuck up you retards and stop voting in fucking retards you fucking retards.
