It is a difficult time for all involved, but it is a matter of public safety for all. Reaction times slow, hearing is impaired. It is easy to become fearful and freeways are no place for that.

Mature, insightful and thought provoking. Everything you said is true. Unfortunately it appears the majority of people are just looking for someone to blame rather than looking in the mirror.

It is a pet owners responsibility to have their animals vaccinated and be aware of the dangers. KATU reported there is an uptick in cases, they don't need to tell horror stories to get the point across of the deadly nature. Any responsible dog owner is aware of the disease. I think it's great that you are putting info out there; that is really helpful. It just seems that you are beaing up on KATU for "trivializing" the dangers of Parvo. I don't see them doing that.

Personally, I know that often I speak without thinking and my disappoint in our political system (or lack thereof) generally colours my comments. Today I'm just a little more sensitive because I just heard a friend passed from cancer. So, thanks for your comments. You are definitely a cut above most!

What does liberal/conservative have to do with this? I am a left leaner, but people are more than the sum of their political positions. Comments like this do not inspire, they just drag everyone into the mud. Step out of it and rinse off!

I am sure the neighbor had no "evil intent" as people are assuming. But they did not take the time to stop, ask questions of why she was having so many sales or otherwise get involved. People do not seem to do that very often any more. I know that I will try harder to be involved with my neighbors, helping when I can. I think there is probably a lesson for all of us in this. I love how charitable people are being. This is what the meaning of the word is you know, not just a handout but charity of spirit, helping by words, support, action... It just takes a moment and look what is now happening for her. This is great...

Not what did. There is a huge difference and they are treading into a very grey area. Were peoples rights were infringed upon? This was over possibilities, not actual happenings. This is a scary step forward. What if there was a critical situation where a cell was needed?

In 2008, the AMA passed a resolution supporting public and private health insurance coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder and opposing the "exclusions of coverage for treatment of gender identity disorder when prescribed by a physician." If this coverage is denied, based on sensationalism then the city is open to lawsuit. Is that what you want? Think before you speak & try to see the truth, not just the inflammatory subject matter.

That it is OK to threaten, harm and possibly attempt rape? You're assuming they're from another country. Unless you personally know them, this is an assumption. I am so offended by your response and the other crass comments on this board that I just don't know what to say. Do you feel this way about all women? This is someones daughter, sister, aunt, mother. What kind of a human being are you? I don't know what the greater tragedy is - what happened to these women or what has happened to you. You've lost your humanity.

We're not trying to support Mexico, this story was about a wonderful donation that will help many who need to eat. You turned it into a commentary about people from Mexico. Last time I checked we had immigrants from all nations, not just the one people like to pick on. You speak of logic; try showing some. How many languages are you fluent in, hmm? You speak of reading and logic, yet you show very little.

If it gives her peace, there is no harm in it. It is very little to grant her in exchange for what her son and her family have sacrificed.

Hmm, I seem to recall that the Bush admin. borrowed the money from China for those refund checks they sent out. Then they spent millions telling us they were sending out checks.... Just gotta love selective memory.

Why are you bringing politics into it?

Maybe the children were walking to a play area? Geez people, why do you always have to pick everything apart? Why do so many of the posters look for the worst? You won't be disappointed; humans are frail creatures at best. I'm going to do something positive; I"m going to say a prayer for that poor child, her sister and most importantly her grieving mother. I'm also going to say one for the fool who hit her and then left. Then I'm going to thank God that my kids are well and pray that they may always be so. Then I'm going to leave this board. I'm sure that'll be for the best. There is just too much mean spirit and negativity on this board. I'm done.
