What sucks about the Dems pushing this partial shutdown of DHS and the Republicans allowing the Dems to do it is that ICE has been fully funded thru 2026 since the big beautiful bill.

It’s not just the TSA and other non-ICE departments as the coast guard is funded thru Homeland for peacetime operations, and they are currently working without pay.

In a funding protest over ICE this is shutting down or affecting everything in Homeland Security but ICE. Just more political theater.

And? The age of consent law is 16 in New Jersey.

It’s not not that clear cut as NJ has some exceptions. The 17 wasn’t able to legally consent due to the teacher being in position of authority. Depending on her role at the business getting him the job working for her family’s business could have also been seen as having additional authority over the 17 year old. She also possibly could have started grooming him when he was a freshman.

The sex with the 18 year old was more about ethics, teacher’s contract, or if they have anything specifically about teachers in law elsewhere like having to wait a certain time after graduation; but 17 would have been criminal for any position of authority not just teachers. Also, with the 18 year old the grooming could have began when he was a junior.

The age of consent in New Jersey is 16.

There is an exception. If the victim is less than 18 and the partner is a parent, guardian, sibling or any other person closer than a fourth cousin or has any type of authority over the victim (for example, a teacher) then the assailant may be charged with a crime. For instance, it's criminal for a manager of any age to have sex with a 16 or 17-year-old subordinate, even if the sex is consensual.

She was definitely a predator regardless of whether or not at that age we would have seen her that way if it has been us. She had a pattern including getting them jobs and having sex at the jobs, and I doubt she went from 2018 to 2024 without having hooked with another student in the same manner between the times of these 2 students. She attempted to get both to destroy evidence during the investigation. Did she get them to do anything wrong while having sex with them?

A lot more kids today are very immature at 17 than when I was that age. They might view it as more than just sex and could have an emotional attachment to the teacher along with the sex that can affect them in future relationships and in dealings with female professors and bosses in the future.

10 years still seems too harsh especially when only one would have been considered criminal for any position of authority over the kid.

… the criminal conduct by Rizzitello involved two victims, one of whom she met when he was a freshman and the other she met when he was a junior.

After initially asking to spend time with them alone and developing a casually friendly relationship, the conduct escalated to sexual activity with each, lasting for a period of several months. The sexual acts with both victims took place largely in three locations: in Rizzitello’s Brick home, in a vehicle at a Wall Township parking lot, and at the Belmar bagel shop owned by Rizzitello’s family, where each victim was employed, at her suggestion.

---

The 17 year old happened back in 2017 and early 2018. He came forward after her arrest for her 2024 student. He kept the pics and texts. I doubt he kept them all this time solely for seeking justice one day.

quote:

---

After her arrest, a second victim came forward and told investigators he and Rizzitello had intercourse in November 2017 and January 2018 at her residence in Brick Township, according to the Coast Star, citing an affidavit of probable cause. The victim was 17 at the time. Pictures and text messages corroborated his account, the outlet reported.

I want to still have some hope that the rank and file Dems along with some lgb’s will wake up and realize they are supporting the sexual deviant fetishes and fantasies of the loudest and most deviant members of the alphabet.

But like blacks they feel that going against any of the alphabets is bigoted which includes not just refusing to question the absolute sickos but forcing themselves to agree with them.

Gay marriage flipped the power structure of the alphabets, because after that Supreme Court ruling is when the trans and the other alphabets said it was their time to get what they wanted. First the lgb’s let it happen and then becoming the face and mouth of the alphabets the Dems and the left just went along with it all with some help from their own TDS.

The women’s reproductive march in 2017 was the first test after the trans complained the vagina hats excluded them as being “women”. The extremists running the running the alphabet show along with the TDS of the liberal Dems and the need of the anger of the leftist antifada against Trump started pushing them down this road quickly.

BREAKING: Mother says her 12-year-old daughter who was shot in the head and neck by a transgender school shooter in Canada will not survive the night

Maya Gebala was among at least two dozen students and teachers wounded in the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School

Police said Jesse Strang, 18, opened fire, k*lling eight people before taking his own life

Strang was born male and began identifying as a girl at age 12

Maya’s mother, Cia Edmonds, said doctors warned her that the brain damage was severe and her daughter might not survive the night

'We were warned that the damage to her brain was too much for her to endure, and she wouldn't make the night,' she said on Wednesday afternoon.'

'I can feel her in my heart. I can feel her saying it’s going to be OK... she's here... for how long we don't know.'

'Our baby needs a miracle.'

I think a cartel drone (or drones) was also shot down

.

Source?

What they thought were cartel drones were actually helium balloons from some kid's birthday party.

From the article in the tweet you shared, but it does say it was disabled which could have been done another way. It’s also not clear if it was disabled at same time as ballon. That is why I said “think” as there are some holes to fill in. Both events were earlier this week and not from the laser test or expected laser test that caused the FAA to restrict airspace last night.

quote:

Earlier this week, the anti-drone technology was launched near the southern border to shoot down what appeared to be foreign drones. The flying material turned out to be a party balloon, sources said. One balloon was shot down, several sources said.

The Mexican cartels have been running drones on the border lately, the sources said, but it was unclear how many were hit by the military's anti-UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) technology this week. One official said at least one cartel drone was successfully disabled.

I have only read it was a party ballon as in the type of ballon and not that it got tied to an actual party. I was kind of wondering if the cartel was testing us or trying some kind of misdirect with the balloons.

The Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on the use of military technology near Fort Bliss, a military base that abuts the El Paso International Airport, to practice taking down drones.

Two sources identified the technology as a high-energy laser.

Meetings were scheduled over safety impacts, but Pentagon officials wanted to test the technology sooner, stating that U.S. Code 130i requirements governing the protection of certain facilities from unmanned aircraft had been met.

… The airlines were under the impression that the airspace closure was put into place out of an abundance of caution because the FAA could not predict where U.S. government drones might be flying. The drones have been operating outside of their normal flight paths.

Doing something might not have been a bad idea, but going to 9/11 level including threat of being shot down and without coordinating and alerting the other departments were mistakes.

Come on. It was a guess. The guy didn’t even know what the 3 branches of govt are and then had a 1 in 3 chance of picking the correct one after being told the branches. Going with the last branch he was told was probably the only one he could remember.

The question was not even intended as a gotcha in this regards and supposed to help the state rep segue into the topic of the sheriff’s role in enforcement of the law and not selectively enforcing the laws as the sheriff had stated he could do.

quote:

---

"I had several statements that he had made to the media and to the local press and in different interviews that kind of conflicted with some of the testimony that he provided yesterday about following the law. We made it to [only] one of those statements because we got held up on what I thought was baseline, just kind of setting a baseline of how we were to establish that his role is to enforce the law," he explained, adding, "I was not expecting to have to get into a fifth-grade civics lesson with a duly elected sheriff."

He said that McFadden has "decided to make himself kind of a centerpiece in the refusal to enforce immigration law here in North Carolina," adding, "It's not so much the refusal to enforce immigration law, but it's the refusal to enforce state law that says he must cooperate with ICE and ICE detainers when people are in custody in his facilities."

I hope this is true, but those false reports of finding girls during the Texas flooding get me concerned people are wanting to be first over being accurate.
