City commissioner wants state to revoke nightclub's liquor license
"tangs" is a typo for "gangs".
Not sure I understand your questions, but I'm saying that Lawrence has had problems with gangs as long as I've lived here, at times more visible than others. Most of them are "wannabe's" but nevertheless a problem. Closing down one club will not get to the root of the problem.

Lawrence High graduation
They were protesting because LHS has a gay-straight alliance.

City commissioner wants state to revoke nightclub's liquor license
He's not saying that the community needs to accept tangs and bangers, he's saying that they are here, albeit mostly wannabes, and will find somewhere to go and meet their friends from Topeka and Kansas City. It's a much larger problem than a bar where one incident occurred.

Father of slain toddler grieves in Missouri jail
Maybe the rest of the family is in the same situation. I do know how frustrating it is to try and help these people. My oldest son has been in and out of prison since he was 16 (he is now 39) and I am still helping and supporting him but with his degree of mental illness I don't think he will ever figure it out and be able to make better choices on his own, just like the people in this article. Community mental health facilities and addiction treatment are woefully inadequate and the foster care system is a disaster. Unfortunately, there will always be these sorts of things occurring and children will be innocent victims.

Your name hardly reflects your attitude. I really hope that no-one that you love gets caught in a web of addiction. Once that happens, there is no such thing as a good choice.

Families pack courtroom for hearing in Ottawa murder case
He probably doesn't have the ability to feel guilt, shame, responsibility and empathy. That's part of mental illness. In some skewed reality, he believes his actions are justified. Because he was identified as having mental illness during his previous trial, they probably won't win a death penalty sentence but with 4 counts of 1st degree murder, he probably won't ever get out.

Suspect in Ottawa killings charged with four counts of first-degree murder; could face death penalty
I'm sure these problems didn't just surface in the last 7-8 years. One of those kids with significant needs that falls through the cracks. A very sad story.

Haskell's president, Chris Redman, leaving for job in Oklahoma
Maybe only one in 4 walks out with a degree, but all 4 have been exposed to a different life off the rez and have gained some skills that they can fall back on later in life if they choose. Keep working on improving grad rates, but don't take away the opportunities.

Southwest Middle School names new assistant principal
If your question is sincere and you really want to know what middle school administrators do all day, I would suggest that you make arrangements to shadow one for a day. You would be surprised!!
