I would never have dreamed of acting this way to anyone. It is good that the kids are getting punished for their actions, however the parents are to blame as well because they raised kids to think that it is okay to bully people and disrespect their elders. I hope she has the most amazing vacation in her life.

I would do the same thing if I found somebody trying to rape my daughter (if I had a daughter). And the fact that he did try to get medical attention to the guy speaks volumes about him.

Maybe next time he won't be a jerk whoever he is dating. He has a long history of treating women poorly. I guess he can't take his own medicine.

I hope she gets all 10 years. The evidence clearly showed that she was just trying to delay the troopers and help the scumbag get away.

They are cops, it is their job to enforce the laws. By this same logic: Drug house busts also present great danger of violence, shootings and situations getting out of control, so the cops should stop busting drug operations in order to avoid the type of confrontations that arise in those situations.

I'm an NRA member and I'm furious at how this case is turning out. The simple fact is, the parents should not have had guns and the fact they did means they need to be properly punished for what happened because of their law-breaking, not getting a very light slap on the wrist.

The tenth amendment states that all laws not covered in the Constitution and/or the amendments are to be left up to the states. So without a constitutional amendment, it is something that should be left up to the states.

Second, I'm at UW and finals/college in general is not that stressful. If my fellow students are really this stressed during finals, my suggestion to them is: Study just a little bit every night during the entire quarter instead of waiting until finals week to cram. It is much more effective and would it really hurt some of you to give up drinking one or two nights a week?

To hell with being gentle, this is the Marine Corps we are talking about here. Let the other branches to the gentle stuff, the Marines aren't big enough to do that stuff. Their mission is to kick doors down and get into the fight fast and effectively, not this. I have no doubt they would be/are great at doing it, but I just don't think they have the numbers.

Both parties need to stop delaying and actually balance the budget and get spending under control.

Now can we do something about us college students not being allowed to carry on campus please? I know I'd feel a lot safer on campus and taking the bus to campus if I could legally carry.

However, this bill seems so non-controversial and would be so helpful, I don't know why they don't spend just a little time and pass this. It could do a lot of good, both for cops and citizens.

As a gun owner, I am constantly aware of what could happen if some relative got a hold of one of my guns. There should be laws that punish those who don't properly secure their weapons, especially when their failure to do so causes harm to anyone.

So when she had her son, it was just the next logical step to bring him into the whole operation.

In the middle of the night, you can't tell who just broke into your home or what their intentions are. It could be a "simple" B&E or it could be a coked-up junkie who will do you and your family harm. I would give them a warning to get out (the sound of my shotgun racking a round) but if they don't leave after that, I would take that as a sign of aggression. I would rather be tried by twelve than carried by six.

If you feel your life is danger, to the point where you are drawing and shooting your firearm, you have to aim to kill. Not wound, because leaves the possibility that they will still be able to come after you.

So unless these people are driving up from OR to Bothell every week to pick up food, they live here. And because with some of them, when I ask them for OR ID, they pull it out from behind WA ID. And part of the paperwork is we have to put down the exp date on their ID, so their IDs are valid. But some of them don't expire for years. 2) As for the fact that OR doesn't charge people from other states sales tax, that is their law and their call. If they decided that people from other states had to pay sales tax, I would respect that as their state's right. However, this is our state's call. Although I agree with you that I don't like giving the morons in Olympia more money.
