<title>KCRG : Gun Ban Letters Draw Criticism in Marion | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather |</title>

<description>So he is implying that the business owner does not ask the person to leave but to call the police to have them ask them to leave. Way to use resources. Sending officers to low priority calls so they are not able to respond to high priority calls.  Maybe the stickers/signs should look like this:   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crmovers.com/SafeFreeZone.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.crmovers.com/SafeFreeZone.jpg&lt;/a&gt; </description>

<title>KCRG : Red Baron Bar &amp; Dance Club to Open Friday in Czech Village | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Spo</title>

<description>Nice PR report. You just failed to mention that his company logo is the Nazi eagle and he will have German Nazi memorabilia displayed. Baron Von Stark is well know all over for his &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m too important to follow the rules&amp;quot; attitude, poor ethics, and flat out thefts from customers who hired him to do a job. His lawsuit record is extremely long too. &lt;a href=&quot;http://(www.iowacourts.state.ia.us/)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;(www.iowacourts.state.ia.us/)&lt;/a&gt; His employees are thieves as well and he can&amp;#039;t insure some of his drivers because of their records. Stark is basically a low life that scams everyone he comes across and plays himself up as a big shot. He stole firearms from his own parents but the media makes him look like an angel. You know the place will have problems because he can&amp;#039;t run a business without writing bad checks and floating loans. How he ever scammed loans for these properties is unbelievable. Maybe he can start paying off his debts to people he stole/scammed from, now that the media is giving him free advertising.  </description>

<title>KCRG : PHOTO: Cars Plunge Into Hole in Illinois | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and Weather |</title>

<description>If you Can&amp;#039;t see this coming in daylight, you should Not be driving. The car was coming from an elevated angle so the hole was quite clear from a distance. Even the pipe to the side is exposed. It had to be dark when it happened+wet road or raining+headlights on low to be an accident and unavoidable. If it was light out, it is just a dumb driver. The SUV looks to be heading the other way so it&amp;#039;s unknown how the road is on that side to see the cause. </description>

<description>I have eaten at Bonanza for decades. I&amp;#039;ve eaten at Ryans for decades. Both have there ups and downs. I have spent much more time at Bonanza in the last few years. I feel bad for all the good people working there that just lost there jobs. It was the attitudes of the servers, cooks, and management that keep me coming back. I will truly miss everyone there. I wish them all the best. </description>

<title>KCRG : Cedar Rapids Church Has Close Connection to Deadly Car Crash in Ankeny | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Io</title>

<description>This is so horrible. If I was in a coma and didn&amp;#039;t know my kids died or had to be buried, I would come unglued when I woke up. I would want to be awake and there to bury my kids regardless of my pain. They can pump me full of drugs so I can make the trip. It would be my last trip with them. I can only imagine how hard it will be for a mother to learn of this later. Reading this story brought tears to my eyes. </description>

<title>KCRG : Mothers Stage &quot;Nurse-In&quot; at Cedar Rapids Mall After Incident | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, S</title>

<description>This is unacceptable self attention at it&amp;#039;s highest. Just because she didn&amp;#039;t like &amp;quot;How&amp;quot; she was told that there are areas to breast feed at, she sets out to make headlines.  She needs to grow up. If your within your legal right to do something (no breasts exposed), do it! She wasn&amp;#039;t told she had to leave because of what she was doing.  If someone had a canceled carry permit with a firearm and someone told them there are better places to go, do you think it would be proper to stage a sit in and have people show up there in support for canceled carry with there weapons? Absolutely not. Both would be legal but not acceptable as adult actions.  I believe she is acting immature and needs to grow up a bit.  </description>

<title>KCRG : Man run over by car in Walmart parking lot has died | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, an</title>
<link>http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/89283412.html#IDComment64414998</link>
<description>Speed limits in parking lots are 10 MPH unless posted otherwise. I&amp;#039;m not sure how they are inforced seeing as how it&amp;#039;s private property. Thats probably why most people go as fast as they want. I always go less then 10 mph in the rows just incase a kid or someone pops out from around a truck and darts into the row. </description>

<description>No, I didn&amp;#039;t. Years ago I contested a speeding ticket because the 2nd cop thought I was the speeder. (same type and color car the 1st cop clocked a mile up the road) I lost because I couldn&amp;#039;t prove my innocents and I had to pay court costs on top of a fraudulent ticket. I wasn&amp;#039;t going to go through that bs again with this ticket so I had no choice but to pay it. There are dirty cops in cedar rapids. I seem to find all the bad ones. </description>

<description>&amp;quot;You have to do something in a careless manner, and this was not careless,&amp;rdquo; Hamblin said Thursday.   Thats BS !! I got a reckless driving ticket in the winter because my trucks rear kicked out while taking a corner.  I was driving below the speed limit but the snow made me loose traction for a moment. No one was harmed and no intent was made by me to spin out. How can people like me get tickets when NO harm was done but this lady hits (and now killed) someone? Is it Only because of the private property issue?  If so, what can be done to include private property in our current laws?? There should be some kind of amendment to include large businesses on private property that create driving/parking areas. </description>

<title>KCRG : House Bans Guns After Domestic Abuse Convictions | KCRG-TV9 | Cedar Rapids, Iowa News, Sports, and W</title>

<description>Reading through the bill I found that any law enforcement person is NOT effected by this bill. They could use a gun to threaten someone and they would not lose there gun rights. A regular person will have there gun rights taken regardless if a weapon was used during a DV or not.   Obviously some dirty cops and lawyers wrote this bill. A law enforcement person should have a much more server penality because they are to uphold the laws. They can continue to act like there above the law because they are in this matter. </description>

<description>1st, Significant other has nothing to do with it. If you live with Anyone (family,friends or whatever) you can be charged with domestic abuse. You could be sharing an apt with 3 people and not know one of them and still be charged under domestic abuse. </description>

<description>2nd, I was abused by my mother for years and then a no contact was issued against me. At trial my witness was not aloud (even though we subpoenaed him) because the judge was behind on cases. The accuser lied and had absolutly no evidance at all (no marks,bruses,witnesses,dr visits,hospital visits,recording, video. NOTHING but just her word.) The no contact was extended for a year but &amp;quot;no evidance was found&amp;quot; in the case. I was not aloud to apeal the case (window lady at the court said I can not apeal a domestic no contact order)  Because of the extention of the no contact, I am listed in the system as gulity. My mother, the accuser, would call me during the no contact. I tried to complain about it but was told if I filed a complaint, I would be arrested for having contact with her. She even went down to the court to start a process to reverse the order but the window lady took the paper from her and told her she did not want to do that or else she could be jailed for false reporting.  People like me that were falsely accused and listed as guilty due to a no contact order extention are effected by this ban. </description>

<description>If someone plans on doing something, no law will stop them. The law says not to speed. Do you obay the law? After you get a ticket, do you stop speeding or continue to dive like you did?  I don&amp;#039;t agree with this SF 2357 bill becasue it has flaws in it. A method of finding out what really happened in a domestic abuse matter should be priority before passing a local law that copies a federal law. Way too many men have been falsly accused when the woman was the attacker.  How about a new law that punishes a person for falsly accusing another. Make the women serve 5 years for false reporting!   I know 1st hand how women laugh about convicting men because they themselves are mad at them and no abuse took place. </description>

<description>More lies from ICADV and IPGV. &amp;quot;..more than 200 people have been killed in Iowa by domestic violence since 1995.&amp;quot; TRUTH: 108 people since 1995. Some deaths were BEFORE a protective order OR trial.  &amp;quot;...few judges include a gun ban when they issue protective orders&amp;quot;. True&amp;amp;False. Most temp orders (a few weeks until trial) do not include a gun ban. A perm order (after trial) does include notice of ban.  ICADV &amp;amp; IPGV will twist the data to fit there means. </description>

<title>KCRG : Car Impounded? Could Cost an Extra $500 to Get it Out | KCRG-TV9 News, Sports, and Weather Cedar Rap</title>
<link>http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/62953852.html#IDComment36691067</link>
<description>The &amp;quot;..$500 is not excessive&amp;quot; statement is stupid. A Circuit Court judge makes over $132,000/yr or about $64/hr so the fine would be about 7hr of work for them. The jobs around here pay about $7.75/hr so 7hr of work would be $54. The $500 fine would be about 2 weeks pay. Maybe the judges should be fined 2 weeks pay ($4,000) Better yet, the fee should be income based. The more you make the higher you pay. Rich people will brush off the fine and laugh where poor people might lose there homes or daycare because of the extremely high cost. I&amp;#039;ll bet there will be a lot more running from police now because people don&amp;#039;t have that kind of money. I&amp;#039;ll bet the greedy insurance companies will demand a full coverage plan now so everyone will have to pay more just to be legal. And ATC has no room to talk. There a bunch of idiots. I had them tow my truck when it broke down and I followed them and the driver couldn&amp;#039;t stay in his lane at all and when we got to the destination, there were no safety chains hooked up and the owner said the driver was one of there best operators and didn&amp;#039;t want to hear about it. They should be fined 10 times that amount for unsafe towing.  </description>

<title>KCRG : Iowa Man Shot by Sister Dies | KCRG-TV9Cedar Rapids, Iowa| Local News</title>
<link>http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/53065267.html#IDComment30570660</link>
<description>wow, very sad. If it was blanks, they can kill you at close range just like live ammo. There are different kinds of blanks made. Some are crimped cases with just primers so the case opens giving the sound, others have a plug in the end that will be ejected when fired with the plug traveling at a high rate of speed. Blanks are not toys and should never be used as such. I feel bad for both people involved. Firearm saftey should be learned when a firearm is in the home. Knowledge would have prevented this sad accident. </description>

<description>I&amp;#039;ve been a fan of his music from the early 80&amp;#039;s when I was little. I am shocked that he passed away today. I figured he was in good health planning concerts next month. Doesn&amp;#039;t it figure, you work all your life and plan to retire but something happens and you pass away before you can sit back and relax and grow old. I guess even celebrity&amp;#039;s are not immune to life&amp;#039;s sudden changes. RIP MJ. You will be greatly missed. </description>
