Well said. I did some dumb stuff when I was 17 but this one takes the cake.

I'm not trying to justify what this guy did but why aren't people interested in finding out how a private was able to get his hands on so much classified material. I was an E5 in the navy with a Top Secret clearance and I couldn't access anything that I didn't have a "need to know" for. That being said, the traitor needs to be punished AFTER he's found guilty not before. Due process is one of the constitutional ammemdmemts that I swore to defend.

Wow, if Tim George felt this passionate about busting sex offenders then his city might actually improve. Sorry Tim, but history and the will of the voters are not on your side. Perhaps you should find a new crusade.

What a waste of taxpayer dollars. Pedophiles get less time than a legitimate business owner? It seems that the DEA is targeting him because of his political activities. It's laughable that they claim he's the most dangerous drug trafficker in Canada. Has any law enforcement agency heard of the United Nations Gang or the Hells Angel's Canadian arm known as the Red Scorpions? These gangs control the cocaine trade in British Columbia and murder at will. Wow, I can't believe they think Marc Emery is the most dangerous drug trafficker, surely they're not that stupid......well, maybe they are that stupid; these are vice cops....not the brightest bunch of fellas.

That makes sense. Something is stiffling gas station competition in Oregon. I figured it was high labor costs reducing the number of stations (low supply equals higher prices), but if there is only one player on top of the supply chain then it makes sense that we'd pay higher prices due to the monopoly.

Oregon's state gas tax is 25 cents. The average state gas tax in the nation is 21 cents (Source: American Petroleum Institute). If it's all about the gas tax then why is there a 29 cent gap between Oregon's gas prices and the national average($3.03 vs $2.74). If state gas taxes were the cause of the discrepency then the gap should only be 4 cents (25 cents vs. 21 cents). Maine has a higher gas tax than Oregon yet their gas only costs $2.72. How do you explain that?

Oregon has high gas prices because people aren't allowed to pump their own gas and station owners have to hire more employees. I'll never forget my first trip into Oregon......I stopped at a gas station in Medford and started pumping my gas. A rough looking tattoed fellow started yelling at me. He said I "wasn't qualified to pump gas". Why? Is it because I'm not on Meth and haven't been to prison. Those seem to be the two qualifications required to pump gas in Oregon.

True true, innocent until proven guilty but she is behaving like somebody who is guilty. Why lawyer up? Why give false info on her whereabouts the day he disappeared (cell phone pings)? When Kyron is found (hopefully alive), then there will be enough evidence for a jury to find her guilty. Your argument holds and TH is free until he's found.

This is good news. If there is more than one conspirator then it greatly raises the likelihood that he's still alive. I can't see two people deciding to murder a child.
