They drive better cars than me, wear better clothes, have more kids who wear better clothes than my kids. Why did I have serve in the military, educate myself, pay off students loans, and teach for 25 years to have less than they do? Maybe they have some champion on their side in Washington.

We know hit-and-runners have no morals or regard for others, so it's a safe bet such a low-life would have no qualms at trading on being a hottie to coax "friends" to become criminals so cute li'l Ashley wouldn't have to face the consequenses. If she gets jail time, look out, jailors. You, too could lose your freedom for an evil hottie.

Welcome to Terra (AKA the earth). To get a real idea of what Portland police do, see Grimm, the first season. But specifically, what the law enforcement agencies are issued in the case of Ms. Lavelle is a BOLO (be on the lookout). They don't really suspend other duties and quit writing tickets and ignore bar fights and burglaries. Being aware of a non-criminal citizen who may need help is just one of thousands of duties police on patrols take care of daily. Live long and prosper!

If you mean others as a group, not possessive, we are already endangered by the law-breaker. Johnston was already out-of-control and a public menace. If there ever was such a law (and not just a bad policy) it allowed crooks and speed punks to roar away and laugh. It's crazy to think they suddenly stop driving like maniacs because the police have to stop. Any damages (not damage's) are caused by the criminal, not the police.

Johnston? Just a guess. Bad decisions are like not wearing shoes where there might be glass or swimming while wearing your hearing aids. Repeatedly endangering lives is criminal, and cousin Darrell needs jail time and driving privileges removed forever.

Ugly spiders need love, too. On the other hand, both spiderchicks, Amber Kincaid and Kristie Reddick, are super cute. Thanks for the videos of the ladies.

I wonder is high schools will lose state and federal funding if they keep the word in their dictionaries.

No surprise the saying is misunderstood, because the answer to "how many officers does it take?" is obvious. These days when suicides want to take many people with them, the answer is it may take as many police as possibe to stop a slaughter. Funny how Monday morning quarterbacks are always a day late.

I'm going to sue; I just can't figure where to start.

Just more double standard. If the perpetrator had been a guy, the three cops would have beat him down after his first attack. On a code pink (profiling!) , they make the mistake of letting the women act out more, and they get scratched and kicked. Watch the fat ones, guys, they pull guns and shoot cops who go easy on 'em. I'm glad the officers aren't hurt worse. They'll never live down their mauling.

Read the news? Besides KATU's obvious disdain for those who can still read, the "changes coming to commenting" will lose them even more followers. Smart people don't put their families and businesses on social media for the trolls to screw with. KATU just wants your "like" count to show the FCC how many people they please with their versions of "news."

He was trasported to the hospital and later released. Another person ended up with a cut on their wrist. (Ed: The last sentence is terrible. "Ended up"? Why sham non-gender-speak when it's obviously about two males? Try this: Another man was cut on his wrist.) The rest of the paragraph is passable, though it could be tightened. Fair-to-good reporting.

KATU is going to lose a lot of followers when they change over to commenting through the social media. Some of us know Facebook, Twitter, et al, are pure poison for people who value their privacy, their jobs, their family security. Smart people are bailing out of those attractive nuisances in droves. Edit: When all is said and done with this case, it's possible social media is how the "drunk" was able to "push through" a locked door and find his way to the girl's bedroom. Kids innocently tell everything on-line.

The pedophile is lucky to have encountered such considerate and law-abiding parents, even if they fib a bit about locking the door. They shouldn't have to lock a door. I love the spelling in, "undecided wheather shooting the intruder would have been righteous." It's one spelling fits all meanings: whether (either-or); weather (the climate outside); and wether (the castrated goat). The last is appropriate for what should happen to drunks who enter homes and climb in bed with 12-year-old girls.

Oh, think of all the offended peoples who were shepherds. The Basques, the Norwegians, the Irish, the Scots, and on and on. The education sheeples on the liberal government dole should be sheep-dipped and shorn, then put out pasture.

I referred to historic literature, not religion, so I guess we know the silly jerk who thinks "Nimrod" is funny. Now, return the sign, and all will be forgiven.

It's the biblical name for the king of Shinar and means "mighty hunter." Uneducated scatterbrains will twist anything down to their level.

All the bleeding hearts must still be asleep, or we would be seeing, "Aren't Adrian's tears of remorse enough punishment?"
