Unless he can convince the jury it was self defense, I say take his sword away and dont let him hold anything more dangerous than a wiffle ball bat.

That's government for ya. They confiscate 40 percent of what you earn, waste it on counterproductive bureaucracy, and will throw you in prison and financially destroy you if you don't like it. Then if you ever need help righting a wrong, your just a useless peasant who's out of luck. If you run a business, pay your employees. They depend on that paycheck to live. If it isnt working out, then cut them loose, but dont ever steal their labor then just not pay them for it.

If Flavor Flav is going to open another one of these places in Cedar Rapids, we want to know hes looking out for his employees.

Technology can take the horns off the trains, put them at the crossings, automatically sound them, and even aim them where they are needed.

Either this is being melodramatic, or its time to close the rest of the town as well. Its just a post office. The people in town will not fall down and die without it.

"Others at the residence separated the two, and the girlfriend went to police headquarters to report the incident." So it wasnt just her word against his. He still gets his trial, but it sure makes it a lot easier.

How many to her parents? Our kids coaches and teachers called us parents for school issues or to tell us about athletic practice schedules. Most of the time they just sent a paper home with all the kids at once through the school office. Calling or texting a kid directly might of happened once in a while but it would have been very rare.

Second thing: Before we string him up for beating up his girlfriend and baby, we better make sure hes guilty. Police arrested him because she said he beat her up and caused bruises. The baby was not injured (thank God). Theres probable cause to believe a crime may have been committed, but there should be a trial so we make sure.

Can you please do your family and everybody else a big favor? While hes in jail, get him to give you power-of-attorney over his truck so you can get it out of impound. Then sell it on him and use the money to cover his jail fees and other costs. And dont let him buy any more cars. Its time for him to slow down before he hurts or kills someone. Thanks.
