18 Year Old Jose Bautista Arrested for Hacking Computers to Change His School Grades in Miami, FL

Didn’t we see  Matthew Broderick  do this in the 1983 movie ‘War Games’ for himself and Ally Sheedy?

18 year old Jose Bautista was charged Friday with eight felonies, four counts of intellectual property crimes for modifying a program and four counts of modifying computer user data.  Bautista hacked into the school computers and change the grades for himself and four other students in return for money. Bautista was a senior and scheduled to graduate within a few weeks; however, all that may be in jeopardy as the Miami-Dade School District sent a statement that “expulsion” was still a possibility. The 18 year old  was released after his family posted his $20,000 bail.

War Games 1983 – Changing Grades School Hack

 A Miami high school student is facing felony charges after allegedly hacking into his school website and changing students’ grades, according to WFOR-TV in Miami.

Jose Bautista, 18, was charged Friday with multiple counts including intellectual property offence and offense against computer users. According to WFOR-TV, Bautista was able to hack into the school computers and change the grades for himself and four other students.

The principal at Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School turned over Bautista to the police on Thursday, after the student reportedly gave him a written confession.

A video of Bautista’s court appearance showed the high school senior fidgeting in an orange jumpsuit as the charges against him were read.

However, it looks much different in the real world when one is caught and arrested for hacking into a school computer to change grades. Jose Bautista is not going to be getting a chance to take on Joshua to save the world from ‘global thermal nuclear war’ but instead expulsion.

Tony Hernandez and the Immigrant Archive Project on the Streets of Miami Asking Citizenship Questions

THIS IS JUST EMBARRASSING …

Tony Hernandez, co-founder of the Immigrant Archive Project, stated that his group aimed to debunk the “misconception that it’s relatively easy [for immigrants] to get their citizenship.” Hardly, all his video study did was prove just how ignorant and clueless some Americans really are. Who knew that Susan B. Anthony did not make the first flag? Hell, most did not know who the current vice president is. Please tell me none of these people vote. I am going to go out on a limb and call these folks low information voters.

I would say this, if we have a test to pass for citizenship, maybe this same test can be given in order to vote?

That’s just one of the many questions immigrants might face when they take the civics test for U.S. citizenship — and if you think most Americans can easily answer, you might want to think again.

A new video posted online last week by the Immigrant Archive Project features 15 randomly selected individuals attempting to answer some of the easiest questions on the test.

Only one passed.

Fellow students attending the Friday night vigil for slain Maren Sanchez are seen above with what was supposed to be the prom dress that Maren Sanchez would have been wearing.

It should have been one of  the happiest nights of Maren Sanchez’s young life, with the right of passage of attending the Junior Prom.  Instead, it turned out to be a parents worse nightmare and an all too common occurrence of violence in today’s school. The prom was canceled and instead of attending their prom, Connecticut high school students spent their Friday night at a seaside vigil for their murdered classmate. Her fellow students selected slain Maren Manchez as their junior prom queen.

About 200 members of the community and students, some donning their prom dresses and tuxedoes, gathered Friday evening at Walnut Beach in Milford, Conn., to remember 16-year-old Maren Sanchez, a junior who was murdered early Friday morning after rejecting a classmate’s invitation to the prom. Detectives say the boy is accused of stabbing Miss Sanchez near a school stairwell, lacerating her neck, chest and face with a knife that was recovered at the scene.
