Congrats on the award, thats the highest honor a high school kid can get other than graduating, and it's only his sophmore year. He's got two more to go.

Don't live rural areas, where your neighbor is far.

Its a physical addiction(unlike mariujuana and even meth which are emotional addictons). Lets be real if u can get heroin cheaper than illegal pain killers on the street (after you are taking off powerful pain medicine), what do u think is gonna happen? Its sad but it is the truth no matter what anyone thinks. These doctors have the DEA so far up their ass that these doctors are afraid to prescribe narcotics.But here is the worst part, heroin is the most dangerous drug in the world.

By far one of the best ball players I have ever played with. Hopefully he doesn't get in any trouble for this, because I am looking forward to seeing him play at Arkansas Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:50:43 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/79277067.html#IDComment47198850 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955354 HOW? TELL ME HOW? RONALD REAGEN IS THE ONE WHO SCREWED YOUR RIGHTS OVER. AND ITS TRUE Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:40:55 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955354 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955226 I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON"T AGREE DOESN"T MEAN I DONT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THATS YOUR OPINION. Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:38:53 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955226 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955130 YOU ARE BRAINWASHED INTO THINKING WE ARE ABOVE THE LAW OR SOMETHING. THE POLICE WILL GET THEIR EACH AND EVERY TIME, YOU MAY WIN IF YOU FIGHT IT OUT IN COURT BUT YOU STILL LOSE MONEY AND TIME. SO WHO IS THE WINNER? I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME RIGHTS ON THE ROAD, BUT POLICE HAVE WAYS TO WORK AROUND THOSE RIGHTS AND I JUST NAMED THEM. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INFO FROM ANYWAYS? THE NEWS Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:37:34 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46955130 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46954607 TRY THAT "WE OWN THE CITY, SO WE OWN THE STREETS" **** NEXT TIME YOU ARE PULLED OVER AND SEE WERE IT GETS YOU. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT LIKE I SAID BEEN THERE DONE THAT. TELL ME THOUGH WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU THINK WE HAVE ON "OUR" ROADWAYS SINCE YOU KNOW IT ALL? YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT UNTILL THE POLICE AND THE JUDGE LAUGH AT YOU AND THEN WHAT? Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:30:29 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46954607 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46954235 You have the right to refuse search of your trunk, but if the police want you to blow in a breathalyzer and you refuse your only option then is to go to jail. Do you think your going to go home or something? No, we the tax payers may own the streets but we still have no rights on them. I say this because I have refused breathalyzers, tickets, and search of my vehicle. If you say no to search of your vehicle they bring the dogs. then they let that dog tear up your car. Do you call that rights? If you refuse to sign a traffic citation you go to jail. you may not stay the night but you still go to jail and get you car impounded. If you refuse a breathalyzer you are arrested on spot and taken to jail, where they give you a? Breathalyzer and you are then charged with dwi. So don't call me out, I have been there done that. But I have learned my lesson and learned the law. NOW TELL ME WHAT RIGHTS DO WE TAX PAYERS HAVE ON "OUR" ROADWAYS????? Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:24:11 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46954235 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46842864 Your stupid. If you were smart enough you could prove me wrong but you can't. all you can say is "your wrong" but you can't prove me wrong. That proves that you are talking out of your ass. YOU NOW IM RIGHT, AND I KNOW IM RIGHT.. And it is a law that if you are on any road or highway that you are automatically giving up your right to illegal search and seizure. AND GUESS WHO MADE THAT LAW????YOUR BELOVED RONALD REAGEN SO IT IS NOT THE LIBERALS YOU NEED TO BE MAD AT. IF YOU DON"T BELIVE ME LOOK IT UP. Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:50:06 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46842864 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46719591 Yeah but if they refuse a breathalyzer on the spot they go to jail, and from jail they have the option of getting a lawyer (after you sit for a couple hours in the pit being processed), but you can't refuse a breath test and go home, if you weren't drinking then you don't have anything to worry about right? It sounds like we have alot of alcoholics in this city, Yall need help not a break. If this was about pot smokers you wolud be all about sending them to prison for ever. Go get treatment because alcohol is worse for you than weed will ever be, and you might lose your job, wife, kids or everything. Don't expect the sober citizens to enable you guys ecspecially since drunk drivers have killed 11,092 this year. QUIT BEING SELFISH AND STUPID Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:47:56 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46719591 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/78927622.html#IDComment46718660 That doesn't make any sense okar. How is your rights being violated? Do you know that you don't have any rights driving on the Public's roads any ways. If you don't want your rights violated then stay home were they can't be violated. Its been like since we started building roadways and cars.. If you are driving on CITY streets you have no rights. Do you know why? Because you are on the property that beliongs to the??? CITY so you have to comply with anything and everything the CITY POLICE want you to. If you refuse then you will go to jail. I don't like it and I have been arrested for not complying to Police orders, but that is the law and if you are a Law Abiding citizen then you don't have anything to worry about. It has nothing to do wih your rights being violated or republicans and democrats. It has to do with PUBLIC SAFETY, SO QUIT BEING SO D*** SELFISH. ITS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU.

And he probably drinks himself to sleep at night, and that is why FORESTGUMP2 is utting down our gov. because he is a drunk himself and these laws passed will mean that his next dwi will send him to prison. Maybe he needs to be there so he can quit drinking and think with a clear mind.

Why denny them the opportunity to turn their lives around and be normal, productive citizens?" WHY ARE YOU HOUNDING JAY? Is it because you are a REPUBLICAN? Is Jay a drug abuser for smoking Weed? thats not a drug that is as dangerous as alcohol, and doesn't kill innocent people because of one persons mistakes. If you knew anything about history of the US you would know that Ben Franklin was addicted to Heroin back when the BAYER Company(who makes aspirin know) produced it and sold it and cocaine in first aid kits. Half of the people that wrote the constitution was on some sort of drug and yes alcohol is a drug. Make up your mind either you hate "druggies and drinkers" or you are for the rights of them. Being for both doesn't make any sense.

Nothing is going to slow down the Drunk-Driving problem. Its because alcohol is so easy to get and its highley addictive. It is a serious problem. One death from Drunk Driving is too much, yet you guys are backing up the drunk drivers? Every time a Drunk gets behind the wheel it is automatically putting the general public in danger. Why is so hard for you guys to understand that? Unless you drink drive, I don't see any reason for you to put down Jay NIxon, This story is about a young man who lost his life and now his mother's life is ruined, but we should take it easy onthese people responsible? No we need to make the time fit the crime which is MURDER. If you have enough money to get drunk on then you have money for a cab or a bus fare, or you can use the 2 feet god gave you, and not put any ones life in danger including your own.

Liberals are the ones to blame? Ronald Reagan is to blame more than any liberal. This kid doesnt need jail for something as petty as this, put him in jail for nothing and he will come ou as nothing and then the filth will be on our streets but with more knowledge on how to cook meth and other crimes. We need to stop sending petyt marijuana users and dealers to jail where they become real criminals; you have no idea what prison does to people who were good people before they were locked up. Prison is not rehab it is a system that is waisting money and lives.

I have witnessed police doing more harm than good and cases where cops are trigger happy and killing poeple over wallets or something little. In this town they happen to be ok people. But for any of yo to think that you should trust the police because of their badge are stupid they are just another human but with more power than the average human, and believe it or not they abuse that power. So yes in some areas the police are just another gang but not in Springfield MO. Not to long ago there was an article about one town in Arkansas that had a totallly corrupt police force along with crooked politiicans.

It is digusting, ugly and it grows mold on it. The weed that American soil can grow is some of the best looking, best tasting, best smoking and best feeling weed. The Government would make more money from weed than anybody and it could be a new way to bring more tourists to the states, and we all know what tourism does to the economy Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:47:50 +0000 http://www.ky3.com/news/local/70629507.html#IDComment44130163
