Either way, I'm glad he's not my neighbor.

Might want to try getting it unstuck so your comments are less annoying.

I hope your perfection never fails, because it only takes one time for a tragedy.

It's impossible to monitor kids on ATVs short of following the kids or hiding in a tree with binoculars. On the roads, they're in plain view - so I was attempting to make a point to TEK that ATVs and cars are not the same.

I was simply saying it was unfair to compare it to driving a car, as a lot more restrictions are put on driving. I surely wouldn't blame the parents for their losses - it's very tragic. I do not place blame, but that doesn't mean that we can't learn from tragedies such as this, and have other kids wear helmets or other protective gear that may save lives, maybe have them slow down a bit...

And they have penalties if they are caught speeding or driving recklessly. In an ATV, no one is monitoring these kids while they're out in open country with nothing to protect them. Therefore I see where Ashthecat3 is coming from, and it isn't quite the same as a car. Regardless, this is a very sad loss. Condolences to both boys families.

(even if you were threatening to drink Drano a few mins ago) Thu, 7 Apr 2011 17:25:28 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Indianola-Family-Shares-Pain-Of-Sons-Death-From-Synthetic-Drugs-119398819.html#IDComment140781991 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Indianola-Family-Shares-Pain-Of-Sons-Death-From-Synthetic-Drugs-119398819.html#IDComment140777361 You can if you want to, but the intended purpose of the Drano is right on the bottle with instructions of use. Along with a big warning about not consuming it.

But if it's not easily available on store shelves, and there are consequences to using it, it'll lower the number of kids using it. If it's legal and in stores, people are going to use it instead of weed (maybe even believing it must be safe) and it sounds like some dangerous stuff. Just because mu rders still happen, doesn't mean it shouldn't be illegal. There are needed laws for safety, and there will always be people who break them.

Someone just died why, because this 19yr old didn't want to go to jail? My condolences to the victims family.

It would be helpful to know what areas of town he's been in so people can watch out for the creep.

It's a miracle mother and baby are safe now. I hope this driver is held accountable too! His driving record says it all!!

How we incarcerate people long term for drug offenses when there's violent people on the street? I see your point, just sayin, we can't have it both ways. What this man did IS dangerous.

And I'm also wondering where the kidnapping charge is if she was taken against her will from a vehicle to his house and held for two days.
