Half the school board thinks Keith deserves a third chance (that's right, not his first time making inappropriate comments to a child).

They say only he can decide if he wants to step down. They did vote in favor of censuring him. The rest of the school board members that laughed during the comment and touching of a child faced no repercussion. Some even pretended to be offended during the emergency hearing.

About ten-eleven years ago, I hit a guy in a grocery store because I saw him bitch-slap his preschool aged daughter who had asked for cheerios.

It was crazy because his wife stepped to me after that. I have never hit a woman, but that mouthy trashmonster was almost my first. I was a lot more naive than I am now, because I honestly thought she'd be appreciative of the fact that the guy bleeding on the floor was no longer assaulting her 3 or 4 year old sweetheart. Instead, she got in my face and started screaming.

I said some choice words that I will not repeat as they were offensive and, at times, misogynistic.

Anyway, I left before any cops got called so I didn't get arrested or face any consequences. Left my cart in the aisle and shopped across town later than night.

Would happily do it again.
