KCRG : Police Search Leads To Arrest Of Two Iowa City Men | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and

And how much younger than 18 was the person these kids were selling to? Might just be me, but I see a huge difference in selling to a 11 year old at the park opposed to selling to their 17 and a half year old friend from school. I imagine this "Cla.ss B Felony" charge was meant for the former.

"charges of ongoing criminal conduct, a controlled substance violation, possession in a residence, an Iowa drug tax stamp violation, possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of prescription drugs and drug paraphernalia." Am I the only one who think this sounds a lot like charging someone multiple times for the same offense? You don't give someone a parking ticket, and then charge them for a parking pa.ss violation, possession of an illegally parked car on a street, two counts of owning a car that is parked illegally, etc. Sounds a bit ridiculous, no?

Believe in something, believe in nothing. Doesn't really make a difference to me as long as you're not forcing your (non)beliefs on others.

Especially on a Thursday. Half the population of IC is drunk and wandering around by that time.

Hate to break it to you, but it's not solely a liberal attitude to use the "I didn't go to school for 8 years so you could call me Mr." line. Overinflated egos seem to be a common occurrence in the academic world, regardless of political ideology.

As for the professor's response... That was unacceptable, especially towards a student organization. If she found it offensive or simply a poor representation of the school, she should have notified the professor who moderates the group or gone higher up the ladder if that didn't work. Something tells me that she wouldn't have to go far to find support in Iowa City. But I have to say, I did find this rather humorous: http://theiowaiowan.com/2011/04/20/english-majors...

Apparently Mr. Olav's mom is using his computer at the moment, so I'll troll for him. "That's not a typo. That's just how liberal court systems work."

True. I suppose if the debate is simply over the school issue my comment was out of place. I just saw that someone was actually defending this guy... And even if what he did with his children's tuition was perfectly legal/acceptable, that wouldn't change anything about the man's character.

Not sure why you're getting thumbs down. Some people must have short memories.

Also he got arrested for a DUI and tried to pressure the cop into getting out of it by saying he just came from drinking with Chet Culver, and that he's friends with some very important people. The video is quite entertaining. Slime-bag politician caught in the act. I'm sure a quick google search will bring it up. Edit: Okay, I did the work for you. The video is posted in response to lobosolo's original post.

Common sense is to leave the scene of an accident that you caused by stealing another car?

I'm typically against the death penalty in most situations. But this is a case I can understand. To try and escape the police is understandable (not excusable, but understandable). But to continue running after causing the death of a innocent person is appalling. This person is not going to be reformed by a prison sentence.

Can't disagree with you on the first part. But this girl isn't getting 2 years for trashing a monitor. She's getting two years for having sex with 2 minors, and then blowing her "free chance" that according to many, she shouldn't have gotten in the first place.

Webmasters are responsible for the content on their sites. Would you want to deal with all the angry mothers calling in and complaining about the swearing and po.rn links in their comment stream? I know I wouldn't. But I will give you that their auto-flag moderation system is slightly irritating, since it seems to flag a lot of posts without any vulgar content.

It's 2011, I don't know if there's a differentiation between the two anymore. From what I can tell, FOX and CNN are giving E! a run for their money on celebrity gossip.

Funny you mention that. All those 'responsible' adults who already should have an education just got done forcing the speed camera tickets down to a maximum of $50.
