I saw a lady on the news about this the other night that I have known for probably 6 years now. She has been complaining of flooding for probably 6 years now. You have 2 options ~ (1) Move, (2) Zip it!

I meant residents, in regards to the way everyone was getting "hurt" with their yardies. Just being sarcastic.

Also, I live on the same street (2 blocks up) from the Streets Dept. and we still haven't been plowed. They get paid good money and this is the job they chose, so people don't need to feel sorry for them.

What does that mean? We don't have enough snow to be trapped indoors. I agree with 'sometimes 'and 'helpyouout', people look for excuses. I've never understood people who just sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Life is too short for that.

I find it hard to believe that this many animals are somebodys "missing" pets. I don't understand people that just discard pets like they are an old toy they have tired of playing with.

And if the sister is so concerned, why wasn't she here monitering his meds? I think the whole thing is a ploy to get out of doing prison time and I hope it doesn't work. If he is truly mentally ill, does that give him the right to hurt others? I don't think so.

Tear 'em down and get on with life!

I just lost my sweet Jenny kitty about a week and a half ago a few days after her 18th birthday. I would have given anything to be able to have her another 18 years. To you folks that don't like cats, but love your dogs, it's the same love. I hope they catch this sicko and he has to pay somehow. We need harsher laws. Hang in there, Grace!

I don't understand the statement "big semi trucks, etc., they control your speed". What? The speed limit signs control your speed, not other traffic, etc. I can see the interstate from my front porch (the area where the camera was installed) and the traffic up there flies like there is no tomorrow. Hopefully this will slow down local traffic and teach a lesson to those flying through.

(2) I could be wrong but I don't think the Amber Alert was issued until about 2 hours after she got taken, (3) Why are s. predators allowed a 2nd or 3rd offense?

Or to get free medical help. I don't call these displays suicide attempts because they're not. If you throw yourself off a building and then live to talk about it, that's an attempt. This man had from the minute he went up there until 6 hours later to throw himself off the ramp if he really intended on offing himself. I've known a handful of people in my lifetime that has committed suicide. They did it in private and to my knowledge never had threatened to do it. I find it very hard to muster up sympathy for people that threaten to kill themselves repeatedly or make a big public display like this man did.

I guess what I don't understand is why the insurance companies don't get more competetive to avoid being targeted by regulation. I suppose it IS all about getting all they can now.

They are doing several on 4th St SW and the surrounding streets. Drive buy and take a look and talk to some of the people that have their signs in the yard.

I do have a problem wondering whose dime paid for the trip. If he financed it himself, I think the state needs to know that. If we financed it, we need to know that too. And then demand it back! When there have been so many cuts in the state I don't understand how he can justify this trip. How many school programs, state patrol, DHS, etc. could have benefited from this money? Wonder what he's gonna spend the lastest Disaster $$ on? Thu, 4 Mar 2010 00:47:38 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/86019822.html#IDComment59656188
