The 80 bucks at the bank stuff isn't so difficult to check. If anyone saw them together....etc. Any kind of paper trail. Thumbs down please. I'm going for the record !!!

There isn't much here about the suspect (I'm not gonna say victim). I "suspect" there's a reason for this. This wouldn't be much of a story, if the guy who was shot had convictions, which may possibly included robbery, burglary, or drugs. Hey KOMO! How about a little more about the guy who was shot? Was he the "pizza-guy" at the wrong address? There's no time listed for this shooting ? Huh, maybe you guys are putting legs under your own story? Thumbs down please.....

The intruder was committing a felony, in which, the homeowner would have been justified using deadly force. Why was the guy in their house? Was he drunk or stoned? It doesn't sound like it. The intruder should be charged with burglary. Just because the homeowner didn't let the guy go, and, in effect (assisted the police) by protecting himself and his family using only the minimum amount of necessary force, doesn't mean justice should not prevail. "The police report shows the officer didn't believe Blake had any intention of committing a crime. He told the officer he was just cold and tired and needed a place to sleep." The intruder was already committing several crimes, and might have committed more if the homeowner had not stopped him. Get it together Bellevue !!! I want my thumbs down.....

Maybe the person calling is "pushing" for a reason??? 4 policies in one call? I wonder how many policies he violates, per call, on average? Well, he gets to liv with this. I wouldn't want to be in his place...fired...or not.

Therein lies his strength. In return, the strength of the Corps lies in the individual Marine. The character (often defined as "what you are in the dark") of these warriors is defined by the three constant Corps Values: honor, courage, and commitment. The three Corps Values: honor, courage, commitment. They make up the bedrock of the character of each individual Marine. They are the foundation of his Corps. These three values, handed down from generation to generation, have made U.S. Marines the Warrior Elite. The U.S. Marine Corps: the most respected and revered fighting force on earth.

Why? What puts the Marine Corps above the rest? Other military services have rigorous training and weapons of equal or greater lethality. So, why do U.S. Marines stand head and shoulders above the crowd? The truth lies in the individual Marine. He (or she) did not join the Marines. Roughly 40,000 try each year. Those who survive the crucible of Marine basic training have been sculpted in mind and body. They have become Marines.

Gung-ho Marine teamwork. All for one, one for all. By whatever name or cliche, commitment is a combination of (1) selfless determination and (2) a relentless dedication to excellence. Marines never give up, never give in, never willingly accept second best. Excellence is always the goal. And, when their active duty days are over, Marines remain reserve Marines, retired Marines, or Marine veterans. There is no such thing as an ex-Marine or former-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Commitment never dies."

Courage is moral strength, the will to heed the inner voice of conscience, the will to do what is right regardless of the conduct of others. It is mental discipline, an adherence to a higher standard. Courage means willingness to take a stand for what is right in spite of adverse consequences. This courage, throughout the history of the Corps, has sustained Marines during the chaos, perils, and hardships of combat. And each day, it enables each Marine to look in the mirror -- and smile."

Honor is many things; honor requires many things. A U.S. Marine must never lie, never cheat, never steal, but that is not enough. Much more is required. Each Marine must cling to an uncompromising code of personal integrity, accountable for his actions and holding others accountable for theirs. And, above all, honor mandates that a Marine never sully the reputation of his Corps."

You could easily blow-your-arm off with "one" of these. There used-to-be a firecracker called a "quarter-stick". (I'm a thinkin it was being compared to a quarter stick of dynamite.) It had like 35 grams of flashpowder in it. 5400 of these, all in one place, in a vehicle, in a crowded parking lot. He is probably not a terrorist, but if "this" had went off, it would have easily killed everyone in the parking lot. 5400 times 36 equals (((((194400 grams of flashpowder))))). An M-80 has 3. 194400 divided by 453.59 equals ((((((428.609 pounds of flashpowder)))))) 429 pounds of flashpowder going "wah---boooom" in the vehicle, in a crowded parking lot. Probabaly not a terrorist......but an "Idiot in the 1st Degree". Do a search of the "Internets" to see what 500 pounds of flashpowder could do, or 10. Great job ATF!!!! To T.H.....the original "pumkin-smasher". I'm going for the record for thumbs-down, so please thumbs-down me. Thanx Losers!!!!!!
