Hella I remember those films from Drivers'Ed.class too. "Signal 30" and "Mechanized Death" Very graphic !!! Scared the hell out of us.
Sure made us think twice before doing something foolish behind the wheel.
While now isn't the time to be critical the rest of this awful tragic story will come out. One of the victims was only 14 years old and you have to question why a 14 year old kid was out all night. Who is responsible for loaning or giving these kids the car ?
Did the parents know where their kids were and what they were doing ? 6 young lives were lost so there's bound to be questions and there should be accountability.
I sincerely hope Mr.Ryan will make a stand for a common sense approach to the problem of gun violence.
The govt.has spent untold billions and more fighting the so called war on drugs. As we all know herion,cocain and pot are federally banned substances.
Yet in spite of all the laws that ban these dangerous drugs we continue to see an increase of their use and the crime and violence they bring with them. Is there any reason to believe a ban on certain weapons will be any more successful than the war on drugs has been ?
Anytime the fed.govt.bans something that people want and are willing to pay for a black market is created bringing more violent crime . A lesson that should have been learned from prohibition.
A federal ban on certain types of weapons is exactly what the violent criminal element would like to see. It's a golden opportunity for some to make a huge fortune while harming the law abiding citizens of this country..
Strong and consistant enforcment of the gun laws already on the books is the best place to start to reduce gun violence. Vastly improved mental health services is another path that should be taken to help curb the problem.
You can bet that members of congress and the hollywood phonies will be well protected by armed body guards carrying the same weapons some want to attempt to ban the law abiding American citizen from owning.
Most all agree gun violence is a terrible problem in our country. But cities with the most restrictive gun laws in the country like Chicago,N.Y.,L.A. and Washington D.C. have the highest murder by gun rates in the country in spite of the law.
A Knee jerk reaction creating new feel good laws and regulations is not the answer !!!
It's all about the money. You can bet there's a scumbag lawyer(s) just licking their chops knowing that the catholic church has deep pockets.
I wouldn't go as far as to say there was no wrong doing at all but you have to wonder why it's taken all these years for the so called victims to come forward.
And it seems funny that after there's been a payout to a few people suddenly others have decided to come forward and claim abuse as well.
If so many of these young boys were being abused at the same time why didn't any of them say anything while this was going on ? As I understand it not one of them ever said a word to a parent,teacher,coach or anyone in authority....why ?
This guy murdered one person and would have killed another if he hadn't been scared off. No I don't believe he belongs in civil society.
Those of you who do should befriend him. Maybe you should stop by his house,give him your address and phone numbers and extend your families friendship and goodwill if you really believe he can be trusted and deserves the second chance his victim never had.
I can understand Mouse's thinking. Since the collapse of the steel industry we've all heard those "pie in the sky" promises .
That said I do however believe V&M is very sincere and will be a good corporate neighbor. Recycle,repurpose and reuse is cost effective and benefits everyone.
Our valley has 35+ years of negetive images to over come and cleaning up a major corridor is an excellent starting point.
We all realize that money is tight and housing inmates is expensive. That being the case why not get something out of these inmates to help cover some of the costs.
Is there a reason these folks can't be put out to work and actually provide something of value rather than just sitting around and costing someone a fortune.
There's no shortage of things that need done. There's plenty of work these able bodied people could be doing. Does anybody see anything wrong with allowing nonviolent offenders do some work that will benefit the community ?
This time of the year they could shovel snow,wash police cars and emergency vehicles,pick up trash and if it's to cold to let them work outdoors I'm sure there's plenty of work that can be done indoors.
A work program would be a great benefit to both the inmates and the community. It would save thousands of dollars while giving these people something to do. The inmate's sentence could even be reduced if he/she works saving the community even more money.
I don't understand how putting someone in jail,letting them sit around with nothing constructive to do 24/7 benefits either the inmate or the community. If jail is for punishment and hopefully rehabilitation allowing a man or a woman to simply sit idle constantly will never accomplish that goal.
All that type of policy creates is a revolving door situation that benefits no one. Let these people work and accomplish something. Completeing tasks,reaching a goal creates a sense of self worth and accomplishment,something we all need.
Please forgive my ignorance but can someone tell me just what exactly Kwanzaa is and what's the meaning of it ? Where did it come from and why is it celebrated ?
I don't remember anything about this holiday growing up,in fact I'd never even knew it existed until a few years ago.
Just wondering,has this always been a traditional African holiday ? Thanks,always looking to learn something new.
God bless you Lynn Johnson !! You spoke the truth and hit the nail right on the head.
A brilliant young man was needlessly taken and we'll never know how many lives he could have made a positive impact on. And that's certainly nothing to smile about !!!
Completely worthless scum. It's a crime we have to feed,house and provide medical care for this pos when a bullet between the eyes would have been better for everybody.
Oh well Big Ugly Bubba will enjoy his new companion/slave/toy for many years to come
