"CPS officials say they're concerned for the safety of the kids because Curtis Drakeford was charged with molesting young children in 2010 and is being investigated for punching his own kids. The parents also have a history of domestic violence and currently have restraining orders out against each other, according to police."

Let's change the gun laws. If you commit a crime with a gun, you go to jail for life. How's that for change?

I even saw a few of the Palin reality shows about a year ago, and I liked how it showed the lifestyles of Alaskans. Having said that, I gotta' ask, why Bristol? Who is she? What's she done that's worthy of her own show?

The civil penalty is just. He messed up.

I have the utmost respect for what they do, as a whole. Having said that, the investigating department came to the right decision. It's a horrible situation, but it's the correct decision.

The standard range is 43 to 57 months. I hope they keep him in for the rest of his natural life.

They left the gun in the open with at least one child present. Then,how many days went by between the theft of the gun and the shooting? I think it was something like 3 days or so. They didn't miss it. They didn't report it. They didn't call the other parent to say "Check the boy's stuff. A gun is missing here." When I connect the dots, it still spells GUILTY.

Normally, I cringe when I hear of a bike down. In this case, the rider brought this on by his own action. What was so important to make him run from a cop? Why would he gamble and lose his life? Don't get me wrong. I'm sorry he died. At the same time though, he asked for it. He made a poor decision and paid the ultimate price for it. Was it worth it? Really?

Really, how many of those shootings Jessie refers to were done by legal gun owners? How many of them had CPL's or the state's equivalent? Hhhmmmm??? I can understand the concern he might have about violence in some areas. But do you really think another law is going to change what the lawless thugs do? Really? They already scoff at existing law. There's no way a piece of legislation is going to change a criminal's behavior.

If they're travelling on official business, representing the White House staff, et al, NO WAY. One account I read says that everyone under investigation has already had their security clearance pulled. That's exactly how it should be. They're about to find out how expensive that party was, and I'm not talking about the call girl, either.
