I am having super trouble making my own house payment but it's not the banks fault. I take full responsiblity even though I am sad but understand the scheme of how it all works.

If only they could see that tomorrow is a new day. Shame on all the bullies out there. If you really looked at why you bully you would see that you are very insecure and need to prey on innocent victims to make yourself feel big.

Unless you report someone doing something illegal. I do have to say I called in a driver who seemed drunk and the 911 operator acted as though I was breaking the law by trying to follow the car to keep its location updated. If you are pulled over go with the flow and if you feel you were innocent fight it in court. If you pull a gun you probable won't make it to court to defend your innocence (you will be gone and viewed as guilty by your own actions. ) I do feel sorry for the mentally ill but understand that the police are not sure how to react. If we all could see the whole perspective of all involved whether criminal or police I am sure we would understand both sides.

If they lived next to you I am sure you would have a different opinion. Child neglect is a crime.

First of all there should never have to be a law to have someone report abuse of a child. Secondly, I can't believe one doesn't already exist. Then to hear opponents say that it could make the schools more liable. So am I to believe that if the school doesn't report it they are not liable unless a law is passed. Bologna!

What does this criminal have to do to get the punishment that he wants and was sentenced to. Kitzhaber is showing how much of a coward he is.

I hope she knows how special she is. These two scumbags need to be charged with child abuse. Shame on someone who hurts a child they are intrusted with. The school officials need to be punished for dismissing the parents concerns.

In fact with how defensive you are maybe you're the guy in the picture hiding in your trailer. No matter what the crime you will always unfortunately have innocent people accused. Sadly some women do cry rape but this is a child of a man who has priors. I also believe no daughter would claim rape by their father just to get back at him. So instead of defending sex offenders with prior history think about the victims.

Number one Rush Limbaugh was a puke in the first place. Number two what does race have anything to do with being a criminal. The occupy protesters didn't get permits and vandalized city parks that we tax payers will have to flip the bill for. Not to mention all the police overtime. Maybe your just angry because you didn't get your tent out in time.

If Sam Adams would have made them follow the law in the first place there wouldn't be a mess. These free loaders have all ready cost the tax payers a small fortune and now the city wants donations. Haul the occupy people back down there and make them clean it up and pay for the damages.

You say you want to get your message across but the only message you are sending is that you want to be free loaders sucking whatever the true 99 percent still have. You have also proved to be total disgusting slobs who are willing to live in parks that you totally wreck with garbage, fecal matter and who knows what else. I feel sorry for the folks who have to clean up your mess ( yes they are among the true 99 percent who work hard for what they have.) The amount of tax payers hard earned dollars you have wasted could of gone to help so many programs for those in need. I was actually for your cause when you started but as soon as you started camping out and free loading that came to an end. The only message you are really sending out is that your just a group of losers looking for a hand out. As for the police they showed great restraint for your sorry a** stand. As for the guy who is crying foul from his wheel chair you are nothing but a whiner looking for attention.

I hope she recovers and becomes a Better mother and person. She does look like a bar fly and too old to have elementary kids I guess we age different with poverty and drug abuse.

When I would say don't be an Indian giver I never thought about the impact of what I said. Plus it was just a saying with no educated background. I am also tired of walking on eggshells as I never mean malicious harm. Sat, 5 Nov 2011 05:53:20 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/entertainment/133277913.html?ref=guiltypleasures#IDComment217160249
