Le sujet du harcèlement dans l'enseignement est douloureux mais il est quand même nécessaire de l'étudier. Il ne se réduit pas au cyberharcèlement, et il n'est même pas sûr que le cyberharcèlement soit si différent que cela du harcèlement classique, comme l'indique le titre de ce livre (https://cfeditions.com/cyberharcelement/), qui met « cyber » entre parenthèses. En outre, ce sujet se prête au sensationnalisme, et les articles sur quelques cas spectaculaires masquent souvent la réalité du phénomène. On peut donc féliciter l'auteure d'avoir abordé le sujet sous un angle plus scientifique, en s'appuyant sur des faits, et en étudiant le phénomène sous tous ses aspects, afin de mieux pouvoir le combattre.

This is a local news report about an unidentified man (Bruce Wayne) who considers himself a real-life Batman and is protecting Stockton, California by making citizens arrests and handcuffing people anytime he witnesses some criminal activity. Or possible criminal activity. Or possibly no criminal activity whatsoever. Dammit, Batman, what the hell are you doing?

The video shows the vigilante detaining a man he claims is smoking crystal meth, outside a busy 99 Cents Only Store. Stockton's Batman won't use his real name or show his face. But told CBS13, that he's nabbed hundreds of alleged criminals at the same Stockton Shopping Center. "They're criminals in to which point they're committing crimes in front of my eyes," he said. Stockton Police said the man in the video wasn't arrested or even cited. But Batman said many of the bad guys he goes after do end up behind bars. Stockton Police say a citizen's arrest is perfectly legal in California. And pictures prove, police do show up for back-up, but not everyone's buying it. "How do we know it's legit anyway?" one woman said. It's a question, only he can answer. "I am the real Batman," he said.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about all this. On one hand, people running around pretending they're superheroes is definitely a world I want to live in. On the other hand, this guy sounds like he's addicted to making citizen's arrests and handcuffing people. If somebody tries handcuffing me because they think I'm doing something illegal we're gonna have a problem. And that problem is probably going to be me trying to regurgitate the handcuff key I swallowed because yes those stereos were stolen and I ain't going back to jail. Keep going for the worthwhile video news report, which includes such hits as: "Where you get these handcuffs from homie?" "Uh you can get em online."

Note: Wig is a wig. Well I guess Christmas came a little early this year, because I just rolled over 15,000 articles on Geekologie. This is almost as exciting as the time I pulled over to take a picture of my Explorer's odometer when it hit 100,000 miles. God willing, I won't cause an accident this time. It's taken seven years and four months to get here, and let me tell you -- what a long, strange trip it's been. I was going to take this opportunity to write an essay about the current state of the internet, but I wound up drinking alone in the dark last night instead of gathering my thoughts. These things happen. Anyways, cheers to me, cheers to you, let's leave work early today so you can all buy me drinks, my head still hurts. Thanks for everything.
