Too bad he invited this crap into his life by being a junkie in the first place.

I had no idea the university provided so much funding for it. CU should just drop it and spend the resources on more cultural and academic opportunities for its students. Let the Boulder community keep running it if they choose to.

And the lawyer probably explained how it read, not how the City thought it read. That's how contracts work, just not with the City of Boulder.

I've been at multiple public meetings where everyone directly affected filled up the meeting room and it was 90% against, only to have somebody walk in toward the end of the meeting and hand a big stack of pre-written "for" comments to the moderator. Later in the paper or the official record is says the hearing input was overwhelmingly positive.

They admit the rules were ambiguous - in other words, Pedersen's good faith interpretation was also correct - yet let him rely on that in business dealings with tenants, also acting in good faith. Then they claim the right to change the wording to remove that ambiguity, i.e., make it read like they thought it should read but that Pedersen had sufficient reason to interpret differently. The city's very act of changing the language is proof that Pedersen is right! If he wasn't right, they wouldn't have to change the language! Good Lord! Their "defense" that their other affordable housing partners, BHP and Thistle, with whom they have done hundreds of units over years and years, understand the language correctly, is laughable. Of course their long time partner does it the way they have long ago verbally worked out. What would you expect? That doesn't mean a new partner should be required to have ESP to figure out that the city means something different in it's language than how it reads! Boulder city government has become a clown show. And no I don't have any interest in this Junction thing or know this guy Pedersen in any way. I don't have anything riding on this than my frustration that my city government has become abysmal and abusive.

Are they not being prosecuted also?

It's tragic, but if they hadn't been able to shoot the young man to bring him down quickly, he likely would have killed or maimed (brain damage maybe?) one of the officers with that hammer. I don't see why cops' lives should be considered worth less than an average citizen's, especially one whose actions led to all this in the first place, and had already tried to kill someone with a knife.

It would be nice if there was another way. But we need to authorize and train cops to use lethal force when it's necessary to protect their own lives and that of others. This young man had already stabbed someone, and with a hammer could easily have killed or maimed the cops in the stairwell. Should they have shot at his legs? Their chances of stopping him from jumping on them would go way down. And anyway, that kind of precision shooting is a fantasy created by TV (the real "culture of violence"). Turned and left? Would you turn your back on a violent individual who had already attempted to kill someone? Backed away? When it occurred he was literally a second from being on one of them. And remember, he had already stabbed someone. If the police didn't stop him right there and then, but let him get away, which other family might be mourning the loss of their loved one who happened to be nearby. It's admirable they tried to taser first, but you can't blame them for shooting quickly. They were in great danger. There's no reason we should be happier to have one of them killed in the line of duty than that this young man made choices that led to his own tragic death.

No one has complained. This is sooo politics as usual on both sides it's laughable. it's as if this reporter is in 7th grade writing for the school newspaper. Most likely the Democratic chair called him up and said, "Write a story about this so I can give you my oh-so-serious reaction." I'm an independent, but for the Dem party to be acting above this stuff is absurd. When Bush was President what Dems said about him in public was worse than this.

The kid could have been me. I was a lot like him. But the police can't be faulted, except perhaps by those with obviously little judgement of what's realistic when faced with a very high, violent person in a narrow stairwell, or those with some kind of unusual emotional hatred for the police. In either case, listening to those kind of people just makes it harder for cops to do their jobs, and makes us all less safe.

"We moved to Longmont. We had an opportunity to move to Boulder and we specifically chose Longmont because we like the atmosphere, the schools and the school district in our area." Ms. Jeffreys, you moved in and now you don't think others should be allowed to do what you did? Are you special in some way? Did it ever occur to you that some of your neighbors there before you may wish your house hadn't been built? I live in Boulder and don't have a dog in this fight, but your attitude takes the cake. Sheesh.

We're just going to have to hope the new ones get the hint and lock their windows.
