Got this today from Atlanta Police Department Zone 2:
This afternoon, a woman was was walking towards the exit of the Howell Mill Rd Walmart Shopping Center parking deck when a burgundy 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a tan colored cloth cover (SC Tag CCG674) pulled up to her. Suspect #1, a black male carrying a semi-automatic firearm and wearing a ski mask, hopped out of the passenger seat. The suspect demanded the victim’s purse and Suspect #2, inside the vehicle, told Suspect #1 to get the victim’s ring. The victim gave Suspect #1 her rings and purse containing a Smith and Wesson 380 semi-automatic pistol, an I-Pad, a wallet with $50. cash, numerous bank cards and other miscellaneous items.
Here is my take on this: One of the primary tenants of those that the anti-gun people like to call "gun extremists" is that the way to combat bad guys with guns is for good guys to have guns. I think a little actual training in how to deal with bad guys with guns would be helpful. Otherwise, a gun in one's purse is just a hunk of useless steel, and there is then no point in carrying one. You have to be willing to use it.
According to AJC, Georgia spends $25 million now on all assessments in K-12, including end-of-course exams and financial assistance to students to take Advanced Placement tests. PARCC reportedly set a maximum cost to states of $18.50 per student (though PARCC would not confirm that figure). Based on the number of students who took English/language arts and math tests in Georgia this year, the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), the hypothetical cost of the PARCC tests by themselves would max out at $27.5 million. (The CRCT is normally given to grades 1-8, but this year, due to "budget constraints," it was only given in grades 3-8.)
