Seriously?

A gym teacher at the Costley Middle School in East Orange ran a major indoor marijuana farm in his home, which was discovered when police executed a search warrant as part of a child pornography investigation, state authorities said today.

“JB” (name removed and link redacted by his request because he is not yet convicted of any of these charges), 37, of Roselle, who is also the head wrestling coach at East Orange Campus High School, was arrested Friday after allegedly uploading child pornography to a Google+ photo account using a computer at a school facility, the Attorney General’s Office said.

Authorities said the investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which indicated that images were uploaded from an IP address in a school district facility using an email address later traced to JB.

“It’s appalling that a man entrusted with instructing and mentoring young students as a teacher and coach allegedly was dealing drugs and sexually exploiting children by viewing child pornography online,” acting state Attorney General John Hoffman said.

An attorney for JB could not be reached for comment. Authorities said he has been an employee of the East Orange School District since 2000. The most recent available state pension records indicate JB earned $86,592 in 2013.

The superintendent, Gloria Scott, declined to provide any personnel information, including what action, if any, had been taken, whether he had been suspended, or whether he would be fired.

“I am aware of the situation and I am cooperating fully with the authorities,” Scott said in a statement. “We cannot share any personnel information.”

She added the district would be communicating with parents, students and teachers.

The state public records law requires public agencies to release certain personnel information including an individual’s name, title, position, salary, payroll record, length of service, date of separation and the reason, and the amount and type of any pension.

When presented with the law, the district still declined to provide information about JB’s employment, but added he “will not be working” there “in any capacity.”

On the day of his arrest, police searched his home on Sheridan Avenue and examined his hard drive, finding several images of child pornography, authorities said. Two laptop computers, including one issued to JB by the school district, were seized, along with a desktop computer which JB allegedly could access in the high school athletic office.

Authorities said that, while executing the search warrant, police found a major “grow room” in JB’s home with approximately 40 marijuana plants, a special ventilation system, high-powered lights and chemicals used as part of the growing process.

They also seized seven handguns, four rifles, a shotgun and a homemade silencer from his home. Authorities, citing an ongoing investigation, declined to say whether JB created any pornography, or whether it included or was shared with students. They also declined to say whether he shared with or dealt marijuana to any students.

Yeah, you see it too ... it’s mostly crap charges at this point. Yes, he had a pretty big grow going on. But given the universality of pictures of naked people online, and how “slightly underage in this country” is of legal age in some other country, and how “porn” is a term subject to individual definition, I’m not really sure if the charge of “sexually exploiting children” is apt or not. It could be. The guy could be a big time pedo. He is the wrestling coach, and wrestling is creepy homo dominance shit in my opinion. With underage boys. Ewww. Or he could have a collection of titty pics from a few thousand selfies on social media. It’s not like anyone has to buy this stuff. So the “exploitation” angle could be pretty thin. I’m just saying. But he was a dumbshit for uploading from the school with his work email. How dumb is that? Middle school gym teacher career dumb?

OK, he’s gonna get burned for the grow room, but a good lawyer can plea this down. The guns can be completely legal, although the “homemade silencer” is going to hurt. But again, plea bargain time. Doesn’t sound to me like even the newspaper is buying the kiddie porn angle very much.

Drew shakes head at the stupidity of his fellow humans. And then the shocking truth hits him ... A junior high gym teacher earns EIGHTY SIX FIVE???? Horry Clap!!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
