Ulster County "Herbalist" Arrested For Choking A Woman Because of How She "Incorrectly Stored Her Lettuce"

Ok guys ... now that the holy Yom Tov is over, we are getting down to post serious news ... 

I'm so glad that my wife doesn't care how I store the veggies ...and she doesn't mind that I "ask her questions." I certainly wouldn't invite Ms Weed to my Seder... 

A 74-year-old Ulster County herbalist who taught women to identify plants and initiated them as "Green Goddesses" and was arrested for choking a woman for incorrectly storing lettuce in 2018 allegedly threatened her apprentice with death for asking too many questions, said police. 

According to the Saugerties Police Department, Susun S. Weed of Saugerties repeatedly threatened her victim, who was a student in her two-week herbal medicine course, called a "Green Goddess Workshop," on several occasions between Saturday, Sept. 12 and Thursday, Sept. 17.

 She used several threatening phrases, according to police, including "I'm going to kill you" and "If you ask more questions I'm going to (expletive deleted) flatten you," which led the victim to fear for her safety. 

She was charged with the misdemeanor of second-degree harassment.

The course, which costs 75 dollars per night, includes lessons in making medicinal remedies, talking stick ceremonies, a visit to a moon lodge and guidance in "connecting with your green ally."

On July 2, 2018, Weed turned herself in to police after her alleged victim reported that Weed had told her she was "choking the lettuce" when she didn't leave enough air in the bag before resealing it, then choked her. 

At that time, she was charged with the misdemeanor of criminal obstruction of breathing and blood circulation. 

Weed was released after the most recent incident on an appearance ticket for the town of Saugerties court later in October.

A Reader Responds to DIN on Covid......

 

DIN. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me that you are still stuck in the covid information we had at the beginning stages. It was a time of confusion, people were dying, We didn't know of any remedy to treat the virus. I will agree that at that time people in our community were disrespecting this great health concern, and unfortunately we paid the price.....

At this time we are pretty much advanced in understanding the virus, as well as treatment for the virus.

There are many many points to point out about our current knowledge, and if you go through all the points, your assumption of the situation may be different.
I will just point out some of them.

Florida high school principal who was fired for refusing to say the Holocaust was a 'factual, historical event' is REHIRED and handed $150k in backpay

A Florida high school principal fired last year after he refused to say the Holocaust was a ‘factual, historical event’ has been rehired and issued $152,000 in back pay.

The decision to rehire and compensate former Spanish River Community High School Principal William Latson came following a 4-3 vote by the Palm Beach County School Board on Wednesday.

Latson was fired in October last year when emails he sent to a student’s mother surfaced, in which he said that the mass slaughter of six million Jews is a ‘belief’ that children at the school won’t be ‘forced’ to learn.

But in August, an administrative law judge ruled that the school district failed to prove he ‘engaged in misconduct in office, incompetence, or gross insubordination by a preponderance of the evidence’ and recommended his termination be overturned.

That ruling was accepted by the board Wednesday, though they voiced their reluctance to do so.

Latson will not return to Spanish River or work on any other school campus. Instead will be placed in the district's assessment department as a ‘principal on assignment.’

The decision followed expressions of anger from board members and 90 minutes of recorded voicemails from Holocaust survivors, family members and others who urged the district not to reinstate him.

Latson, who had worked for the Palm Beach public school district for more than 20 years, found himself at the center of a firestorm last year when emails he’d sent to a parent of a student at Spanish River in April 2018 resurfaced.

In the exchange, Latson wrote that students were allowed to opt out of Holocaust lessons because ‘not everyone believes the Holocaust happened’ and that as an educator he had ‘the role to be politically neutral’.

When the parent responded to insist the Holocaust was a historical fact, he insisted, ‘I can't say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee.’

He continued: ‘Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened and you have your thoughts but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs so they will react differently.

'My thoughts and beliefs have nothing to do with this because I am a public servant.  I have the role to be politically neutral but support all groups in the school. 

‘I work to expose students to certain things, but not all parents want their students exposed so they will not be and I can’t force that issue.

'I do allow information about the Holocaust to be presented and allow students and parents to make decisions about it accordingly. I do the same with information about slavery, I don’t take a position but allow for the information to be presented.'

Ugly Peter Beinart Teams Up With The New York Times In Campaign to Eliminate Israel

The recent news that the Ugly Peter Beinart has been hired as a contributing opinion writer to The New York Times was not shocking, but it is an ominous warning sign. This is because Ugly Beinart was quite obviously given the job because of an opinion piece he authored several months ago in which he explicitly called for the end of the State of Israel.

Although bathed in the pathos-laden language of modern progressivism, the article made perfectly clear what Ugly Beinart, out of naiveté or malice, was advocating. “It’s time to abandon the traditional two-state solution and embrace the goal of equal rights for Jews and Palestinians,” he wrote. “It’s time to imagine a Jewish home that is not a Jewish state.”

The article created something of a stir, for good reason. As an Israeli writer described it to me in Hebrew, here was the most dominant newspaper in America, with massive influence over the public discourse, calling to l’chasel medina — to eliminate a nation. This kind of open racism in such a powerful media outlet was all but unprecedented.

But it was also more than that.
