| The St. Lucie County School District plans to have grief counselors at two elementary schools today after a teacher was stabbed to death in a Palm Beach County home—a crime to which authorities say her son confessed. Gloria Farajian was a second grade teacher at White City Elementary School for almost eight years and had been teaching art at Parkway Elementary School this year. The school district will have counselors at both schools.(Snip) Farajian said he stopped taking prescribed medication for paranoia, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and knew it was wrong that he killed his mother,

Another crime by a dangerous Medicated-American, all red flags ignored. No gun, MSM dozes.

Am I the only one that thinks that descending grief counselors like circling buzzards only make a bad situation worse? From whence do they appear?

No you are not the only one who thinks the way you do #4. I am so sick and tired of all the f-ing grieving going on I could puke. A punk teenage drunk kills himself and others and out come the grief and all those crosses and flowers by the roadside. It never ceases. LOOK AT ME. I CARE and love to GRIEVE.

Yes, #4 and 5. Somebody has to say it. Here on the Seattle news, just like clockwork, something bad happens, candlelight vigil to follow, "grief" counselors show up and then libs feel all warm and gooey. It´s almost like real events are treated like reality shows. Oh yes, weeks later, here come announcements of law suits and somebody starting a "nonprofit" foundation.

Next on the history channel: Inside the military´s new elite force, the para-grief counselors. They are trained in empathy, psychobable, hugs and teddy bears and anything else secular humanist folks find comfort in. They will stand ready to parachute in on the next school masacre just as law enforcement is arriving. How about leaving alone sometimes?

The Palm Beach Post should publish the names and addresses of all citizens that own steak knives in the North Palm Beach area.

Yes #4/5/6... one more pile of teddy bears, flowers, candles etc etc. Just seems all this grief-on-queue is disrespectful to those who have a genuine reason to grieve.

There was a kid this past year who killed both his parents with a hammer and then laid them out on their bed and locked their bedroom door while he had a huge party. He told one of his friends at the party and the friend called the police. His mom´s last word was "Why?"
A little bit in the media about it but I guess the family wasn´t devout Christian (or Jewish) and nor were they conservative. So ghoulishly report the creepy party aspect and then move on.
Still interested in whether Adam Lanza and his mom were registered to vote and what party they were in. Did they go to church? Things like that seem to be missing from the biography of these two. Things that would have been shared quickly if they´d gone the way of the narrative.

Yes, #4, 5, 6, 9. I am so tired of people who try to insert themselves in notorious tragedies by "grieving."
My sister-in-law, seriously ill with a chronic disease and frequently beset by "counselors" of one sort or another, calls them "misery junkies."

Further to #10- I do remember the media floating something about Lanza´s mother being a" Prepper" for a while. To the MSM which is constantly on the lookout for anything to tie this to the right wing, it could have been 12 cans of vegetables in her pantry.

#2, you have no idea how many families in America keep all knives locked up...yes, including butter knives...because they have a mentally ill person living with them who has expressed the idea of using a knife in a violent fashion.
This case is classic, and these often don´t make the news. (Notice that the focus in this headline is the grief counselors. Had this happened to an insurance adjuster rather than a school teacher, you would never have heard about it.) Son is 23...a young adult. Diagnosed with severe mental illness, but mom no longer can get him hospitalized for his own good (and hers) because he is now an adult. He has gone off his meds, bringing back the psychotic delusions. All she can do is wait until the chance of him doing something is ´imminent´ - the current government standard. ´Imminent´ is too late; she is now dead. So instead of treating him for a few weeks and getting him back on his meds, society will pay for his trial and housing in jail for the rest of his life, while she lies dead. That is today´s mental health ´system´ in America. It needs to change.

Trenton — As Congress debates an overhaul to the federal immigration system, New Jersey lawmakers again took up controversial legislation today that would allow students living in the country illegally to pay in-state tuition at the state’s public colleges. The bill, dubbed the “Tuition Equality Act,” was approved by the state Assembly Budget Committee after a lengthy hearing in Trenton. The crowd in the chamber, which included immigrant students who have been pushing for the change for years, cheered as the committee moved the bill. The legislation will now go to the full Assembly for a vote.

Passengers on NJ Transit’s No. 113 Express bus were taken on a ride from hell during Thursday’s morning rush when a lost driver took a really scenic route to New York, leaving commuters nearly two hours late for work. The express from Dunellen to the Port Authority Bus Terminal became a local—and then some. Passenger Aileen Iosso sent this text to her boss: "I don’t know where I am and I don’t know when I’ll be in." She said she boarded her usual express bus in Cranford around 7 a.m., expecting to arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan

Chicago — Former President Bill Clinton sat down with Gov. Chris Christie today to talk about New Jersey´s recovery from Hurricane Sandy—touching on the state´s emotional connection to the Shore, the need for another source of flood insurance, and the governor´s famous "get the hell off the beach" comment. The interview closed out a three-day conference in Chicago held by the Clinton Global Initiative, the organization Clinton founded. Sandy devastated New Jersey—especially its shoreline—last fall, leaving million without power and seriously damaging hundreds of thousands of homes. In all, New Jersey suffered $39 billion in property damage.

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R) argued Wednesday that the United States should pass immigration reform because the U.S. economy needs the labor of young immigrants, and immigrants are “more fertile.” “Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” Bush said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to the Majority conference. “Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population. Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.” Bush said immigrants are an advantage that the United States has over China, Europe and Japan, which don’t have the same

Vienna - Wanted: A jester. Wallflowers need not apply. It´s no joke. An Austrian hotel is advertising for a modern-day court fool, who is communicative, extroverted, musical, creative and imaginative. Applicants are asked to bring—and play—their musical instrument during the job interview. Also welcome: creative costumes. The successful candidate will earn 1,400 euros—around $1,900—a month. Hotel director Melanie Franke says those interested should not think they´re on a fool´s errand in applying. She says the idea is to treat guests like royalty, noting that "jesters were a luxury that royal families indulged themselves in."

For the first time, America´s racial and ethnic minorities now make up about half of the under-5 age group and will be a majority by this year or next. That´s according to new census numbers that show a faster shift than expected toward a minority-majority, one where whites will be in the minority by 2043. The new estimates also show that, for the fist time in more than a century, the death rate for white Americans outnumbers the birth rate. Just a year ago, numbers showed that whites had fallen to a minority among babies. Fueled by immigration

It´s brought to you by the letter P — for prison. PBS’s "Sesame Street" is moving from ABCs and counting numbers to offering its young viewers a bigger lesson in life: how to cope when Mommy or Daddy lands behind bars. Called "Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration," the program is distributing "tool kits" to schools, community centers and even jails in 10 states — including New York — starting today to help kids ages 3 to 8, organizers said. According to one "tip" for caregivers, "Before you visit your incarcerated loved one, let your child know some of the things she can expect

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
