I know I will regret this but I must respond but i know you cant rationalize with people like youRead More Doug who just believes that all officers are abusers of their power. You don't have a clue that the number one most dangerous calls that officers go on (and have been killed) are domestic violence reports. You obviously don't know the statistics that many woman are too afraid when officers show up to ask for help or held against their will. I know first hand so don't try to debate me, I have a close friend whom unknown to many of her family and friends was being abused and LOST her life to her boyfriend of 6 years! The police too responded to the domestic call from a concerned neighbor unfortunately they 24 hour stand off was pointless he had already killed her Two officers that I worked with in another city were shot through the door and killed responding to a domestic basic neighbor complaint called in. So unless you are an officer and know ALL the facts and are an officer yourself you don't have a clue. Police officers are human and when they took an oath to protect YOU and me they don't sit there deciding if its the broom stick that will kill them or possibly the gun or knife that may be hidden from view! When someone is acting crazy out of their mind they dont sit wuth a cup of coffee to ponder if a lunatic will act on their crazy behavior or not. Its obvious you already have judged thee officers by your comment CHILDREN with guns comment so YOU are obviously biased and have already judged the police. Just because they are there to do a job does not mean they don't have the right to go home to their families every day after their shift! Why dont you sign up to do the job if its so easy!

I was so sad to hear of my friend's death. Alex was a classmate of mine & we met while we wereRead More on staff together at our college newspaper, The Oak Leaf. He was a class act: sweet, funny & genuine. He truly will be missed.

A diver must always know how to release his/her weight belt. Seems intuitive, but I never put on myRead More weight belt without checking the buckle and thinking of the release process in case I get into trouble. Also, when being jostled about while diving, there is a tendency for the weight belt to move from the front of the body to the side. Thus, I reconfigure the belt as needed so the buckle is accessible.

Here's my two cents worth: It's completely impossible to know what went wrong so maybe we shouldRead More wait and let the facts dictate a response before we assign blame. One thing all of us can learn from this is to get a small fire extinguisher,learn how to use it and keep it handy in case of a car fire. How many of you commenting have done just that? The other thing that we can do is to require that all drivers of commercial vehicles have training in response to emergencies such as this, and require that there be a means by which drivers and passengers of commercial vehicles can communicate effectively. Everyone likes to think that they would "do the right thing" in an emergency like this. But without training,none of us really knows. As emergency personnel will tell you, if you've been trained adequately to respond to an emergency, your training takes over and kicks in. You don't have to "think" per se. May God bless those who died and bless their family and friends. I'll remember them in my prayers.

And you know that for a fact? Really? How cruel to speculate. And sure- blame the victims- becauseRead More you wouldn't want to be kind and think that you,too,might be vulnerable to such a tragedy.

Maureen, no apology, I stand by my comments. The driver pulled over so passengers could get out. HeRead More did not go into the car and help anyone. Nurse Arrellano opened the back door. She did not go into the car and help anyone. They both did something, yet in public opinion neither did enough. By the way, let me borrow your words, if I may... "Who are you to judge" the driver, Maureen? Hello, Pot, my name is Kettle, nice to meet you.

It does sound like this guy was looking to get some help with a place to live, 3 meals a day andRead More meds for his addiction. Well he will get them. Glad no one was hurt.

I know Matt and this is not the Matt I know.... I am one of the first to through out "stupidRead More idiot" however in this case I think it was a cry for help for Matt and an attitude adjustment for me NOT to be so matter of fact judgemental.... glad everyone is safe "things" can be fixed but "lives" once taken can not be restored Do the right thing and pray for Matt to get the help he needs

Malignant WalMart haters ignore the reality that the idiot who did this had his brains blown up onRead More drugs. They probably would say, "Whatever he was on, let's legalize it."
