Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:30:58 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Dank-director-Aubrey-Lee-Price-accused-of-stealing-millions-disappears-162063895.html#IDComment399846793 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Police-searching-for-downtown-bank-robber-143429926.html#IDComment320727483 My logic is that I am talking about a real, life endangering, threat to people and you trivialize it by making an immature comparison to a kid getting their lunch money taken. Now you can continue your childish antics all you want, as I'm not the one looking like a prepubescent joker. Also, please continue to use the thumbs down feature that you seem to love, like this is some kind of high school popularity contest.

Perhaps you are one of those you mention?

I just got finished typing my response to refinedgentry above and noted the shared use of "almost non-existence" by both of us. Your example serves to support my claims.

Brinks, Wells Fargo, and the like arm their delivery men because they are dealing with a lot of money and need to have some means to protect themselves. Why aren't bank tellers afforded the same opportunity to defend themselves, and in lieu of that, protected from potential harm? So you know, my first choice would be to arm all bank employees. As soon as the likelihood of dying for $500 goes up exponentially, I would not be surprised if bank robberies decline to almost non-existence.

If every bank had every teller behind those, who in their right mind would try to rob a bank? Also, if they did this, they would have to adopt a policy like we have with terrorists....WE DON"T NEGOTIATE! So if they start threatening others in the bank, oh well. Since we have allowed criminals to simply walk in with a note, steal money, and MAYBE get caught, the reward outweighs the risk for many. If we allow them to threaten others to get what they otherwise could not get, the glass becomes a moot point. Am I alone on this thought?

You won't see me stealing from innocent people to pay my way.

Condoning theft is hardly civil.

My principles are based on individual accountability and responsibility. Hate on me all you want.

I hope the daughter's statement is enough to back up the claim he made, and assist with him getting as light a sentence as possible.

Check out the book "An International Compilation of Terrorist Organizations, Violent Political Groups, and Issue-Oriented Militant Movements". There are more than 200 (!) recognized extremist organizations in the world. Not all of them are Muslim groups. Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:17:30 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Days-after-Afghan-massacre-suspect-still-unnamed-142773225.html#IDComment316910967 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Days-after-Afghan-massacre-suspect-still-unnamed-142773225.html#IDComment316796076 I agree that we are often too politically correct, and in that effort become incorrect in regards to accurate reporting. However, not all Muslims are extremists, and not all extremists are Muslims. Thus, the correct statement would read "He fears that Muslim extremists........" I despise the omission of qualifying terms for fear of offending.

I was misinterpreting the use of "or" in the law. Interesting, as there is distinction made in other RCW's pertaining to the use of the words "parked" and "standing vehicle". It is so very obviously titled as you stated. I find it reprehensible that our state does not make it a crime to leave children in a vehicle. How is it possible that it is not a crime to leave a child in a vehicle for possible HOURS and no crime is committed? Basically, a complete loser of a parent can go to the movies, leave their toddler in the car, and they are good to go unless the child dies from the heat or cold? Terrible.

Read again. It clearly states "to park OR willfully allow such vehicle to stand upon a public highway or in a public place with its motor running....". The "OR" was intentionally emphasized by me.

To go into their house and kill them as he apparently did amounts to murder, as the laws of land warfare and the current Rules of Engagement (ROE) clearly make the distinction between legitimate kills and murder. This soldier will be handled appropriately in accordance with the uniform code of military justice. If you are going to compare the 16 he killed to 9/11, are you then suggesting that we have our soldiers sink to their level and become terrorists (9/11 was a terrorist act, not an act of war) and kill innocent people, just as they did, until the scorecard is settled?

I just wish they wouldn't publicly release the means by which they executed this. How long will it be now before they can do the same type of scheme? As they say "Loose lips sink ships".

For that matter, what about the guy who only got caught raping a child once, but it was YOUR child? What about an UN-convicted murderer that got off on technicalities? What about someone who killed a person, or persons, in a DUI accident and got off? What about.......... Really? Only one type of criminal deserves death? You may want to re-evaluate your opinion.

Just read anything posted on their Facebook pages. The link was provided earlier in the comment thread for your convenience.

"The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired...". Therefore, ANY law restricting how or when I carry a firearm in defense of myself is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law. If I were rich I would be challenging all these laws in the courts. For those that don't like the reality that any firearm law is unconstitutional, they need to just go ahead and amend the constitution of the state and the nation. For the constitution IS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND! Period.

We all know that it is against the laws of physics for a gun to exist in a gun free zone, otherwise we could not feel happy inside and call them gun free zones. If this story is true, I don't know what to believe in anymore!
