A1: "School board member is at the heart of 9-1-1 dispute"

Anyone who's watched Tom Staley on the PUSD board will not be surprised at this story, in which his hot-headedness gets a little out of hand. This ran him straight into conflict with the ridiculous over-cautiousness of our lawnforcement policy today, in which overreaction is not just tolerated, it's required. Mirsada Buric went beyond summarizing the police report to get comments from Staley, all good. The recording of the 911 call on the free site is welcome too.

    now this is what I call quality first class entertainment! First off ,massive props to the courier for not backing off on this issue although I will Bet Tom has pissed off somebody at courier in the past and his karma is being leveled.The 911 call recording is priceless,I love how he Identifies himself as everything but a school board member first .This is on top of the obvious weapon statement which he denies .THe only thing that would have made his actions more funny (and I was looking for this)was for him to claim a vast far reaching conspiracy aginst him .This idiot is wasted on the PUSD board he needs to be on the current Vice presidents staff. I may start refering to theis guy as "the Queen of denial" Snigger

    This dude is a loose cannon. And he is a decision maker when it comes to educating students in this area? Wow. Get rid of him. If he's going to go to school grounds and act like the NRA jackass that he is, throw his ass in jail or off the school board, preferably both. What a loser. jared

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:

There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.

If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.

If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
