<title>KATU - Portland, OR : Judge refuses to give oath to incoming SF sheriff | National &amp; World News | KATU.com - Portland News</title>
<link>http://www.katu.com/news/national/Judge-refuses-to-give-oath-to-incoming-SF-sheriff-136908568.html#IDComment259584220</link>
<description>In San Francisco county, the Sheriff&amp;#039;s Office runs the jail and provides court bailiff services. So, my initial question is does this gentleman have any corrections experience? Was he elected simply on the basis that he was a county supervisor? If there is a genuine domestic violence complaint/conviction, it will exclude him from serving in any law enforcement capacity.   </description>

<description>It is a bit challenging. I&amp;#039;ve investigated a couple of these types of cases, and the victims often have difficulty expressing what happened to them. It often takes many interviews, and sifting through the information to glean what proves the case. I&amp;#039;m sure WCSO has some good officers on it. These types of predators belong in the Graybar Hotel. </description>

<description>I think that it would be a mistake for Mr. Rocha to go back into the Navy. Although he would be treated with &amp;quot;kid gloves&amp;quot; by his command due to fear of complaint from him, he will be treated as a pariah by his shipmates for complaining about something that they will think was petty, whether their perception is right or wrong. Between active &amp;amp; reserves, I spent 30 years in the Navy, and I&amp;#039;ve seen how tough it can be for a sailor that is ostracized. As far as the Shellback initiation goes, I can only speak for myself, but I was given the choice whether i wanted to go through the ceremony or not. And yes, that greasy belly was nasty. </description>

<description>The unfortunate fact is, that the type of people that will riot are just using this unfortunate incident as an excuse to break windows and steal property. The requests by the city government will go unheeded, because these criminals will not want to lose this opportunity. </description>

<title>KATU - Portland, OR : It\&#039;s official: Navy to allow women to serve on submarines | KATU.com - Breaking News, Sports, Traff</title>
<link>http://www.katu.com/news/national/92415929.html#IDComment71337123</link>
<description>As a former Submariner myself, I have mixed feelings about this. I think it will work on the &amp;quot;Boomers&amp;quot; (ballistic missile subs) because they have enough berthing space so that the females could have their own berthing and hygeine facility. It would not work on an attack boat like my son serves on for that reason. It defeinitely wouldn&amp;#039;t work on the boat I served on 30 years ago because mine was much smaller than modern boats. The Navy doesn&amp;#039;t mention above that they have considerable problems with ...um...&amp;quot;fraternization&amp;quot; on surface ships that females are serving on. It would be compounded on a submarine which is a much smaller environment. I hope it works well for those women wanting to serve on the boats. It&amp;#039;s not an easy life. </description>

<description>I&amp;#039;m glad Mr. Todd had a long life, despite his personal tragedies. I always enjoyed his work, and he seemed to me to be a very gracious gentleman. Fair winds and following seas. </description>

<title>KATU - Portland, OR : Freemasons await Dan Brown novel \&#039;The Lost Symbol\&#039; | KATU.com - News - Portland, Oregon | Entertai</title>

<description>I agree with my Brother HUP234. I also am an active Freemason (34 years) a Law Enforcement Officer (31 years), and veteran of the US Navy , parent, husband, etc. As you can see, we are regular men who believe in doing right for rights&amp;#039; sake alone.  Last time I checked, we weren&amp;#039;t controlling anything other than our own lives, and perhaps our lodges. If we were, things might not be as much of a mess as they are now in the world. </description>

<title>KATU - Portland, OR : Analysis: Liberals tired of health care compromise | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | National </title>
<link>http://www.katu.com/news/national/53606947.html#IDComment31161805</link>
<description>A point was made earlier that why doesn&amp;#039;t the majority just pass the bill with or without minority support. My thought is that there may be a reason for that very thing. If the majority passes the bill against what appears to be popular demand, and it goes south, they will look like HUGE demogogues. I believe their positions would be on the chopping block. They want some minority support for a safety cushion. I personally am a government employee, so am exempt from the bill, but I oppose it because of what I have seen and heard about the current government run health programs (i.e. VA, Medicare, medicaid, OHP, etc) being only barely adequate. I also don&amp;#039;t like the idea of the government having access to anyone&amp;#039;s bank account. </description>

<title>KATU - Portland, OR : Faith healing pair acquitted of manslaughter | KATU.com - Portland, Oregon | News</title>
<link>http://www.katu.com/news/51514777.html#IDComment28143797</link>
<description>I&amp;#039;ve been a cop for 30 years, and it still boggles my mind when I see a verdict like this. My only wish is that the parents get a debilitating, wasting, PAINFUL disease, and they try to cure it by prayer. I have a deep abiding faith in the Almighty, but I am also realistic enough to know that the answer to most of our prayers is &amp;quot;Sorry....No.&amp;quot; </description>
