Re: Lance Boone's letter about people commenting on the 'news' story about Taylor Elmo. Apparently Lance Boone has selective reading syndrome. See the comments by "fightheat" who claims to be Taylor's father, a City of Yakima firefighter and comments by his friends. Who made multiple racist comments and horrendous statements about the mother of their friend's baby?
This is a sad story and I feel for the baby.

Don Young is so right on his statements. For Don, in Sunnyside alone they have close to 3 million out on the books. And they are renting jail cells out. Dah !! Makes alot of sense when we could be putting these people with unpaid fines in them. So why do we even pay a judge to harbour these fines unto these people? Why do we even have cops giving tickets. OOPS, we don't; 8 positions have been eliminated so the $90,000.00 positions could get a raise to over $100,000.00. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians could we say. Don, keep it up and keep asking these questions. The elected officials do not listen, but the electorate DOES. Just watch the results this fall in Sunnyside !!! Keep smiling !!!!!!
Report ViolationDon,
"When the gang-bangers are shooting one another and they go to the hospital, who is paying? Why don't we start making the criminals pay for what they cost? I don't commit crimes, so why should I and the rest of us pay for their crimes?
Our judicial system is a joke!"
No, it's completely consistent for a Socialist mindset. This is a limited-liability system, the liability is shared amongst all the population so no one person has to suffer the full penalty for their behavior. Enjoy the system we've asked for, especially with Obama and the Congress under the socialist's control.
Les,
Unfortunately, right on.
Your "dead on" Les...(pardon the pun). When did we get so stupid? When we allowed ourselves to sugar coat the likes of Bill Ayers, Reverand Wright,Tiller, Jacksons molestation charges and pictures of him hanging his baby over a balcony. Well...the real "Thriller" will come when we open our power bills in the coming years and slowly watch everything we worked our butts off for slip away from us. Yes...we certainly are in for some "Change", but sadly... "Hope" is no where in sight.
