You are at the least not a compassionate person, and at the most brainwashed. Hmmm, where are the police patrols? In poverty stricken areas. Why you say? Because that is where the crime is, right? Nope, that is the easiest hunting ground for generating chicken s$%t tickets. Its perpetual, and will never end. Remember, profits from the legal system drop right to the bottom line of the GDP. And the legal system is the largest contributor (lobbying $) to Congress. Fair huh?

Sure I know people will say "they are not free, they need food provided etc." Well, it's not like they can grow there own food...private property everywhere. They are victims of the societal mechanism and population explosion. I have come to the conclusion that anyone commenting on here that is in the red (thumbs down) are actually the most sensible. Keep being compassionate. You value people over money.....good for you. People shooting, honking horns under bridges, assaulting and judging homeless people are bullies and are angry human beings. Confront them with why, and watch them tailspin with ridiculous reasons and justifications. If people did not lash out at homeless people, I guarantee they in return would be nicer as well.

I don't see a problem with someone pleasuring themselves in their own yard. Had it been a couple or someone attractive...this story may have never materialized. Moral of this story....don't buy or rent a home where your backyard is a fishbowl. Perhaps a higher fence?

Maybe.....they apparently grossly underestimated the momentum the OMMP program would progress, and seemingly have now found their own drug profits in deep decline? Or.....as I have believed all along, is that the Feds would allow the OMMP program to flourish.....then simply reign it in when the pickings are plentiful. Based on this theory, perhaps they need to reign it in a little faster than planned; the consequences of course being the realization that they will be caught in a lie. Unfortunately for them, the average US goldfish memory needs a bit longer to forget important input when it comes to our rights. Time to shore up the budget eh?

Also...give me a break with the what ifs.

However it appears this was one of those cases where it's pretty obvious the bouncers made a lousy call. It also does not appear that the bar has a policy in place for ejections? They will now..... No one is in control of their actions when they are intoxicated....ever been drunk before bski?

Also: Obama continued, 'Imagine how the American people would react if al-Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet.'" @ Oh_puhleeze----> Regardless of whether the US is "better than them" by not posting videos of corpses on the Internet. The truth is that Obamas Imagination needs to take an Oregon winter, sit in a chair, and browse the almost hundred videos circulating of US troops being executed on the internet before making a statement like that. If someone has not seen any of them (consider yourself blessed) then this person would really have no idea what is going on in the Middle East. Now it has turned into a cheesy wartime spy novel: Osama was an Arab Terrorist, supposedly killed in Pakistan; meanwhile the US is has invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and established controlling interests in whatever is left over there: Egypt, Libya etc.... And yes Pakistan will be invaded next for "harboring Terroists" The entire middle East could end up a puppet; if not already.

I can't believe I am going to quote Nancy Pelosi: "Unemployment offers the best bang for the buck" The state cannot afford to lose the income/state tax generated from funemployment X 50,000 people. There are some great articles out there on how to orchestrate your own lay off/dismissal. Pretty entertaining stuff. Uhhhh work it......uh huh uh huh.....work it.......just like that....work it....oooohhh yeah Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:05:06 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/politics/118415209.html#IDComment136814647 http://www.katu.com/news/local/118374254.html#IDComment136565687 Laws and their repercussions are always reactionary. Sometimes kids disappear....s#$ks bad. Go down to your local state police office and take a look at "the wall" of missing people. This problem is not going to go away, certainly not with the implementation of yet more cameras. "Never let a good tragedy go to waste" _____insert sleazy government officials name here.
