Leave it to Oregonians to complain about a $10 donation for some great music. For a good cause, no less.

I'll bet it was! Where's the gang task force when you really need them?

Where do you think most of the suburban junkies are getting their stuff? Maybe people who have bottles upon bottles of pills that make your liver look like a raisin? Because I'll tell you what-marijuana does not tax your peripheral organs the way oxy does. Or vicodin. Or alcohol.

It's not helped by the police or the news channels. Was the murdered man a gang member? Thank how was it gang-related. Ok, so the two POS murderers are gang members. So if they go grocery shopping is that "gang-related grocery shopping?" Gang-related speeding? Gang-related eating? Seriously. The media has an obligation to inform the pblic, but do it accurately and responsibly.

Talk about fraud!!!! And inexperienced!!! Oh how soon the Repugs forget.

Name a similar liberal political figure who did nothing more than pander to the crowd and disagree with everything the Bush administration said/did? Its a rhetorical question, since the Dems would never allow a dullard like Palin to be associated with them.

Words alone are never enough. The way I read this story...they simply "took" the phone. No justification. Then he ran after them. Again, no justification. Your comments illustrates precisely why people should not easily obtain ccw's. Under your rationale and "big talk", you'd be the one in jail.

Come on! Smarter thing might have been to ask the driver to call the cops. Report the theft. He put himself in danger by pursuing 3 teenagers who obviously have nothing to lose. Pains me to say it...but why risk physical pain or even worse?

I'm guessing there are legal conclusions that a German Shephard is a weapon, if used as a means to threaten or attack. But it's plausible.

Once again, I love the spin KATU put on this...by this I mean KATU felt the need to include this in the story. Also, these might be issues that would come out at TRIAL or depositions. Either way, the fact still stands that Mr. Nice caught up to a possibly speeding driver (coincidentally), and challenged him to pull over. With his NEWBORN in the car. Seems like Mr. Nice chose to escalate the situation. Maybe he should have just taken the license plate number and called the WACO Sheriff's Dept (from his hands-free device...because he would definitely be following the law, right?) to report the reckless driver. I just don't understand people...anyone...who thinks they are above the law. Don't cops have to swear to "uphold" the law? If this occurred between two civilians, I am confident that the person who pulled the gun would at least be brought in for questioning and charged with Menacing and Child Endangerment.

Is it that tough to understand. The cop followed the other guy. I love how KATU reported the cop caught up to the guy "unintentionally.". Riiiiiiiiiight.

There are lots of US CITIZENS who have (GASP!) Spanish surnames. Take your ignorant, xenophobic comments elsewhere.

Stupid, stupid law.

But I guess if you bury your head in the sand, you won't see the reality of the situation. Funny thing is, no one here has said they pay anything close to $100/month. Academically, maybe that's what it will cost (and we're not even discussing the deductibles), but it ain't reality. I'd like to hear someone who can't afford health insurance talking about how the current system doesn't need to change. You people suck. And for some, I guarantee you will someday personally experience the greed and selfishness that these insurance companies display.

And I wasn't comparing anything to anything. All I said was maybe the police should focus more of their efforts into why all the white men are killing their wives, rather than investigating a gang problem that may or may not actually be a "problem." So more white men kill their wives because more white men marry their women? Well, despite your flaw in logic, it would still stand to reason that these crimes should be more of a focus then, wouldn't you agree?
