This is the last of the "assaults" from September 27 that NDIL dismissed, a day where Greg Bovino was deliberately promising a "shitshow."
Basically they knocked over a 70-year old guy and then accused him of assault.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Cars shouldn't be allowed within 500 feet of schools...
There is a crossing guard and a marked crosswalk with a stop sign in front of the school down the street and every week I watch people just blow through both when school lets out
also constantly parking in the marked bus drop-off spot

A driver hit an elementary school student with a car, 500 ft from Tulip Grove ES in Bowie, after school. The crosswalks at the intersection are unmarked. The principal asked parents to "discuss safety precautions with [their] child" & reminded "all families to please drive slowly & carefully."
