He said good role model, not sarcastic.

I try to teach here but a lot of folks are resistant to advice even when it's delivered with such sweetness as to smell almost uncharacteristically like a bottle of nail polish remover. Therefore a certain degree of bluntness is required.

Today my student told me that I was his best preceptor, and that he had learned more today in our 12 hours than he had in his previous five clinicals.

Stuff like that makes it worth the extra hassle of taking a student. I hope I have a good one tomorrow.

Sasha, all of the various disagreements aside, I would be proud to have you as my partner. I've watched you grow as a professional on here and have to say that I agree with your student's assessment of your abilities. You could take care of me any day. Just skip the priapism check. I think that might result in Kat getting a little territorial. LOL

As much as I would tend to agree, always remember the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Why don't more adults stand up to be good role models for our youth?

Because it's easier to not say something when 3-4 kids do something to the 1 kid that would, outside of school grounds, be a crime (harassment, assault, battery, vandalism, etc), but do something to the one kid when he actually tries to defend himself.

I have that kind of student tonight. She's making me stay on the medic unit doing work when I could have switched over to the engine and been asleep by now, but its worth it.

I really love teaching students in the field,but it is a totally lot of work.

Gotta love it when you read in the newspaper from your response area that a woman tried to cut off her husbands "family jewels" with scissors and was arrested..

Dear HotelCo:

I don't check EMTLife on my dates.



And yes, I've been having dates as of late, so HA!



That is all,
Me.

Yea, I saw that recently. Apparently the officers have never figured out how to step over anything in their life. Now if one of those protestors laid a single hand on an officer stepping through the line, then all bets are off, however they never tried the obvious solution.

Seriously, lots of things comes to mind when I see a ring 2 person deep of college kids sitting on the ground. "Threatening" and "dangerous" aren't one of them.

Glad to see this thread is still going.

I'm home for Christmas break right now. A very welcome change from the pace of international disaster relief and paramedic school. ^_^

So how is everyone? It's been a while.

Absolutely loving it.

I am freaking appalled at how little the EMT-Basics in this country know and how they run around completely screwing with peoples acid-base system and all manner of other highly important life functions. It is like an entirely different universe now that I have some medic class time under my belt.

How about you? School going well?

Well, riddle me this. Under California Penal Code (I'll post the sections at the bottom), everyone still there, be them protestors or people simply watching, were equally guilty of an unlawful assembly. They attempted to take people who were arrested by force (preventing the officers from leaving), which is by definition a lynching. As such, they were, by definition, commiting a riot. Why wasn't everyone in that circle arrested and charged with rioting? If the police truly felt like they were threatened, why not hit the protestors up with the much more serious charges?

404. (a) Any use of force or violence, disturbing the public peace, or any threat to use force or violence, if accompanied by immediate power of execution, by two or more persons acting together, and without authority of law, is a riot.

404.6. (a) Every person who with the intent to cause a riot does an act or engages in conduct that urges a riot, or urges others to commit acts of force or violence, or the burning or destroying of property, and at a time and place and under circumstances that produce a clear and present and immediate danger of acts of force or violence or the burning or destroying of property, is guilty of incitement to riot.

405a. The taking by means of a riot of any person from the lawful custody of any peace officer is a lynching.

407. Whenever two or more persons assemble together to do an unlawful act, or do a lawful act in a violent, boisterous, or tumultuous manner, such assembly is an unlawful assembly.

408. Every person who participates in any rout or unlawful assembly is guilty of a misdemeanor.

409. Every person remaining present at the place of any riot, rout, or unlawful assembly, after the same has been lawfully warned to disperse, except public officers and persons assisting them in attempting to disperse the same, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
