No...<i>"Ed's busy cleaning his guns..."</i><br /><br />No, actually, Ed was trying to figure out how the $%#$# Chevy expected me to route the #1 & #3 spark plug wires. Cleaning a firearm is downright easy compared to working on a late model Govt Motors car -- I'm not surprised they went bankrupt.<br /><br />Replacing plugs & wires <b><i>used to be</i></b> a simple job -- it still is on a Toyota Corolla....<br /><br />And Walter, it is <b>you</b> who appear to have a fixation with guns and the perpetration of mass homicide. It's you who keep mentioning it, not I.<br /><br />And don't you have a minor child in residence? I'm a "mandated reporter" (Chapter 51A) and I'll make no secret of the fact that your fixations are starting to concern me professionally.Dr. Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-70176482631921996612013-12-30T23:23:37.437-05:002013-12-30T23:23:37.437-05:00Ever read A Prayer for Owen Meany?Ever read A Prayer for Owen Meany?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-5985183613399036272013-12-30T22:15:49.910-05:002013-12-30T22:15:49.910-05:00Damn right.Damn right.Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-66035299786918840092013-12-30T22:06:19.482-05:002013-12-30T22:06:19.482-05:00Are there people with attention deficit disorders ...Are there people with attention deficit disorders coming here?

If I can't break a story or bring a different perspective to it, then I don't do it.<br /><br />And in that particular story, unlike the UMass gang rape story, I did not break it; and there really was no different perspective to add.

Colon was arrested at his home with the assistance of his UMass Police supervisor and another officer.<br />West Springfield detectives say his disturbing crimes date back at least two years. They involve his girlfriend’s daughter and her 12 year old friend.Walter Graffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-59613101499644344472013-12-30T17:28:39.119-05:002013-12-30T17:28:39.119-05:00Ed, could you help me out here, please?Ed, could you help me out here, please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-55706090827562235602013-12-30T17:27:48.267-05:002013-12-30T17:27:48.267-05:00if i hated cops i would, but i don't. that...if i hated cops i would, but i don't. that's like saying you hate teachers because you reported on the teacher who was found in possession of child pornography. or that you hate town managers and select board members.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-48003560097462720672013-12-30T17:23:20.025-05:002013-12-30T17:23:20.025-05:00Feel free to start your own "I hate cops"...Feel free to start your own "I hate cops" blog.@Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-4301655473805602012013-12-30T16:49:09.808-05:002013-12-30T16:49:09.808-05:00a hero for sure---it's just unfortunate howeve...a hero for sure---it's just unfortunate however that it's a lot easier to find incidents of police corruption and criminal behavior that occurs on a daily basis, than it is to find acts of heroism. and russia is overrun with police corruption:<br /><br />"According to a poll conducted in early 2010, 15% of Russians reported to have paid a bribe in the past 12 months.[4] The overall amount of bribes in the Russian economy during the last decade skyrocketed from $33 billion to more than $400 billion per year in Putin's government, according to Georgy Satarov, former aide to Boris Yeltsin."<br /><br />and that's just bribery, doesn't include far more heinous crimes (for example many cops were involved in the major child sex trafficking ring recently busted in canada.)<br /><br />why don't you ever shine your light on corrupt cops? you only glorify them, and the things and people you choose to report on seem small compared to some of these issues.<br /><br />for example when a cop at umass raped a minor, you didn't say a word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
