KOMO - Seattle, WA : \'The general public could save a life if they had cell phone service\' | Local & Regional | Seattle

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 05:49:58 +0000

Not so true anymore, while traditional CDMA and GSM networks are in the 1800-1900Mhz band's newer LTE like Verizon's in particular is at 700Mhz and has much better "penatrive" capability. For instance I work in the belly of an extremely secure building that is made of 1-3ft thick reinforced concrete. I am 100-150ft from any outer wall of the building and I get perfect 4g LTE service and speed. 3G on the otherhand is non exhistant in my office.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Woman claims Zimmerman molested her as a child | National & World News | Seattle News, Weather, Spor

Becasue KOMO is anti gun, and a bit too liberal in that and believe this guy should fry for defending himself, the guy is innocent, has been will be etc. To me this chick just seems to want her 15 minutes of fame and may have even been been paid by martin's family/lawyers to try and tarnish zimmerman's persona even more. Unfortunately for Zimmerman, he'll never face a fair trial due to the media's misleading informaiton and lack of reporting of the fact's and only reporting the rumor's and sensational B.S. they knew would stir up a frenzy. This is not a race story, its simply a story of a man who shot and killed another man attacking him. The media and the dead criminal's famly decided to try and blow it all out of proportion, turn it into a race thing etc. It's just sad really. The parent's should be ashamed of themselve's as they done nothing but drag their criminal son's name even more into the mud and make themselves look like the greedy ignroant idiot's that they are.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Police: Homeowner shoots man trying to break down door | Crime | Tacoma News

Still doesn't give the idiot the righ tto try to break someone's door down and make them feel as though their life is threatened. The homeowner acted correctly and within his lawful right's, in fact he gave the guy 2 chance's to leave. Most of us armed homeowner's wouldn't even do that in this situation.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Investigation: Did D.C. cop threaten to shoot first lady? | National & World News | Seattle News, We

I understand they are "sworn" into duty, however per the supreme court police in the US are not constituionally required to protect anyone. They cannot be held liable if for instance you're in a an alley screaming for help while being mugged and they just walk on by like nothing is happening. Don't believe me look it up. In fact here let me help you with a link..... .http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.html?_r=1 it is what it is, but we as citizen's are naive and stupid to think for one second that the Police are going to "protect" any of us. That's not their job, the SCOTUS has dicitated as such.

Unsure, I would assume at this point to investigate and aprehend, let's face it, most police work is after a crime happens, how many time's do you see a headline that read's "Police shoot intruder as he breaks into someones home" vs. "Homeowner shoot's would be theif breaking into his home" As for the ruling here's and article that explains it more from the NY Times..... http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scot...

Officer's are not sworn to protect according to a supreme court ruling several years ago. hence why you no longer see "to protect and serve" on squad car's anymore.

Yeah I caught that right away, instead of the truth like "a law abiding gunowner" or a "lawfully armed citizen" instead it's "gun toting homeowner" It's like how the Orlando Sentinal said that Zimmeran own's a "cop killer" gun "that can penetrate body armor" in reference to an FN 5.7 as you said nothing more than anti gun liberal media

Have you ever seen a "sparkler bomb" they're made with run of the mill "safe" sparklers, when made properly they are extremely destructive and yet made out of perfectly "legal" fireworks. Most of the really BIG boom's you hear on the 4th are sparkler bomb's, not stuff bought illegally. YouTube has made for more and more idiot's these day's, no different than the guy's making soda bottle bomb's etc.

More like the judge was paid off, I'm surprised Apple isn't suing Washington farmers because their fruit infringes on the design of Apple's logo...... oh well now that Jobs is gone, Apple has maybe 24 months in them before they fail miserably again like they did after they kicked him out in the 80's

Gee guess what else happened in 1998 that probably led to the decline, the rise of the internet, with children having more access to the information they need in a more private fashion I'm sure this is at least in part to thank for the decline. Abstinence only education has been proven over and over not to work.

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Parents of woman killed by drunk driver are on a mission | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather,

Further, you really want to affect these people's live's, why not require a drunk driver registration, just like sex offender's have to register, drunk drivers do to, that way an employer could see they're a liability and look to hire someone else. These are the kind's of thing's that will make change, but we have too many bleeding heart's up here to ever get tough on crime like that.

You obviously don't realize just how many people are on the road without license's. Taking away someone's license mean's jack diddily squat to these people. You're idea's are complete nonsense. You want to make a difference JAIL JAIL JAIL is the only way to get through to these people. DUI should be considered 1st degree attempted murder, killing someone while DUI should be automatic 1st degree murder, etc. you have to get TOUGH on crime, taking away someone's license is slap on the wrist to these people it mean's nothing!

It's alway's amuse's me when you anti gun people act like you don't need a gun in your life, but the minute someone break's into your home and hurt's a family member you all change your tune pretty quick. Better to be prepared and protected, than a victim.
