I continue to be dumbfounded by the coverage this is getting. I'm honestly starting to wonder whether we're capable of having a rational debate about anything. The President makes a short speech to school children. Apparently this is brainwashing, since children aren't capable of forming their own opinions. I have a 9 year old daughter, who seems to be unaffected by it all. What a suprise.
It never fails......the bitter, negative posts on this board amaze me. As if getting an education doesn't require effort out of the student. Any degree is based on one thing: You get out of it what you put into it. Having taken some graduate level courses at YSU, I found the professors to be enthusiastic, and the cirriculum was what I expected. YSU is a good institution with programs that are easily on par with other colleges of the same size.
The effectiveness of the death penalty has been debated for hundreds of years. I can see both sides. The family of the victim certainly has the right to see justice done. But then again, having a death penalty assumes that the justice system is perfect. Prosecutors, judges and the police make mistakes just like every other human being. What if the wrong person is executed? And what is an acceptable level of error? Then again....is it acceptable to deny the suffering of the victim and the victim's family by outlawing the death penalty? All though questions that will be debated forever.
It seems that, based on the information from this story, it would be best if he were terminated. He appears to have gotten a second chance and failed to overcome his addiction. That being said, I feel a lot of sympathy towards him, because being a police officer is an incredibly stressful job. Police officers often see the worst of human behaviors, day in and day out. But in this particlar case, it seems as if he's not able to cope with it.
Unfortunately, these kinds of crimes bring out the worst in people who frequent message boards. Since everyone is anonymous, politeness and sensitivity disappear. As far as the crime itself.....based on what's been reported, it appears that the murders were committed to send a message. What message that was and to whom it was intended, who knows. The killings were done in a very pre meditated and specific way, and committed by someone (or people) with experience. Setting the car on fire was an attempt to eliminate any evidence that the police might be able to recover from the car. It's truly amazing what human beings are capable of doing to each other when they come from a twisted frame of mind.
I live in Austintown, and I don't have a problem with the club, as long as they are able to control their patrons while they are on the premisis. If they prove that they can do that, they should be allowed to operate. There is no objective evidence that strip clubs degrade the communities in which they operate. As long as they are properly run and operate wiithin the paramaters set by the community, there's nothing wrong with them. As far as Ditzler goes.......he's a politician. He'll say whatever he thinks will keep his constituents happy, whether he actually believes what he's saying or not. I doubt he's going to be able to overturn the court's ruling.
"What if this priest is remorseful? shall the lord forgive him and let him into heaven?
hypocracy should also be a sin."
The Gospels teach us that if he is truly remorseful, the Lord will forgive him. My point was that God does the judging. We are not qualified to condemn a man to hell.
I have the utmost sympathy for the victims of this crime. If they feel that justice will be done by this man's death, then I have no place to argue with those emotions.
But as far as the ultimate judgement......that is God's alone.

Here's some more:
"desperado", "malefactor", "mug", "yardbird"
I think it's time to set the software to "automatic updates" so the thesaurus function gets updated to the 21st century.
