Although, given the alleged budget shortfall the county is currently subject to, I don't expect to see any plows.

Coulda been a lot worse.

Both proposed choices carry potentially ugly consequences. We don't know if she blocked the flames with a door and wet towels, or left the door wide open; we don't know if she jumped before the smoke or flames were even in her home yet. Obviously, it would certainly be better to break a leg, rather than die of smoke inhalation or burns. Re: renter's insurance...it's obviously a great investment, but may just be out of some people's budget, as a luxury they can't afford. I choose to have renter's insurance, rather than cable TV or Internet service; I cannot afford them all.

We avoid judging others' sins, because we are sinners too. God will judge all of us in the end.

Our place has gone underwater 3 times in the last 4 years. The house is high & dry, but there's no getting to town--without a boat. There's a price to pay for living on the valley floor. You either pay it willingly, or move to higher ground, permanently.

For those who insist (for whatever reason) that capital punishment be eliminated as an option in the justice system, I offer you this: if this selfish cruel monster is convicted of two counts of aggravated murder by a jury of his peers, he should spend the rest of his life in a dark box, with a hole in the floor for poopin' and peein'. No light, no reading, no Net, no human interaction, no exercise. Three plates of mush slide under the door at 6am, noon, & 6pm, every day, forever. No medical, no change of clothes, no shower--he's lucky I'm giving him a hole in the floor to pee in! If I HAVE to finance his life after he robbed them of theirs, make his existence as frugal as possible. There is no rehabilitation here, no chance for making up for what he did by being a good upstanding citizen. His life in that box will be Nirvana, compared to the life he'll have when he dies and goes to Hell, to be tortured forever by Satan. And don't come cryin' to me about his "deplorable conditions", ACLU. He has no rights-not anymore.

Small town, big town, Belltown, any town...I live in county territory 5 miles from a small town--much smaller than Arlington; but it's a regular occurrence at one of the two taverns there. Domestic abuse/assault is the other problem they have to deal with on a regular basis.

It's a sad reality that will not change. But this is about honoring and respecting those who serve with honor, and moral devotion to their purpose: to protect the community from those who would wreak havoc and mayhem on the community if no one was there to stop them. Your hate and predjudice is illogical, baseless, and spineless. By the way, what do you mean, 'Sorry' ?...sorry for what? Yelm28m wrote above that he/she hoped they could control themselves if they were to see that vulgar, hateful shirt on the street...I'm here to tell you that I am NOT going to control myself if I see that shirt on the street. The loser who dares wear the shirt in my view will get more than an earful of me, promise!

Not only do they have no redeeming value to society, they have lost their right to breathe. When they take their last breath one day, they will be delivered to Satan, where their ultimate punishment will begin..and go on for eternity Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:19:34 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/53803587.html#IDComment31490002 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/53241457.html#IDComment30795496 He thought he committed the perfect crime. Selfish monster. If he survives his prison experience, I hope the brother of his victim is waiting at the prison gates the day he gets out.

Period, no contest, no debate necessary. I love dogs, and have been a responsible dog owner for over 40 years, but no dog is worth a second attack on a loved one...especially one as vicious as this. I don't care if she pulled his ears, stepped on his foot AND stole his food.

We stop him, and let the sheriff come and get him, likely so they can take him to the ER, 40 minutes away.

May God have mercy on them.

The justice system needs to take a good long hard look at how to punish/rehabilitate DV monsters. It seems apparent to me that the abuser's primary problem is his/her inability to control anger...and sadly, it also seems that they often feel justified in physical control or attack. We all know that this is a tragic event that has changed many innocent lives forever. It's pathetic that many many people still feel that this is acceptable behavior. There's no reason we can't consider this as much a top priority as child abuse. Lawmakers, are you listening?

The suffering that she'll likely endure for the next 50+ years, or the unimaginable suffering she'll endure forever in Hell. I don't want the law-abiding taxpayer to fund her existence, i.e. food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, medical care, etc. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:52:02 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/24304739.html#IDComment4636843
