On Suspects held in Whitewater stabbing incident

Mymaro- You are right. I missed that line about the interpretor. It would take a person of your apparent mental aptitude to point that out so precisely. So scratch everything I said, except for the part about the 5th amendment and you having racist opinions based solely on stereotypes, which, in your rebuke you continue to hold on to.
Personally, I'm glad I just read the article wrong. Life is much harder when you're just wrong in general. While I'm thoroughly ashamed of my initial interpretation of the article (look a joke with a for of the word interpret) I'm glad the main point of my post is still intact. I think yourself and and Mytake4u would appreciate that a government budgeted for an interpretor if you were arrested in an area of the world where English was not the primary language. It is nice to know what legal authorities are saying. And while it may be an inconvenience, I don't think we can hold the suspects primary language against them when it comes to getting a fair legal proceding.

mymaro-- it doesn't sound racist it is. Characterizing an entire group of people based the actions of two is called stereotyping, a classic tool of racists. And, per the article, it does not say they are not American citizens. Also, mytake4u it is quite a leap to assume just because the individuals pictured above are Latino that they do not know or speak English. If they don't speak English, there is something called the 5th amendment in our country which offers us all Due Process; it only seems reasonable an interpreter is provided after arrest.

mymaro-Kia's are good cars. You obviously haven't been in one since about 2001,when they were Coffee cans on wheels or you had a roughly driven low-end model rental. I've had Kia for 3 years now, I've not had one problem. Compared to a Cavalier, Cobalt, or Aveo-- these cars are well built and affordable. As far as refinement, they're not quite Honda's yet, but they're much nicer than many American cars when you consider build quality an value.

On Police: 150-pound cougar shot dead on Chicago's North Side
Posted on April 15 at 8:22 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
There is a good question, where was animal control? Nonetheless, as a regular citizen or a police officer, if my options are getting mauled to death by a Cougar or shooting it, I'll pull the trigger. If you don't live on the Northside of Chicago, like I do, it would be hard for you to understand the context the police were in, and the necessity this made the act of shooting the animal. Buildings are much more compacted together here-- unlike Janesville at 5:30 on a Monday night, there are thousands of people wandering the streets. This is not a good situation if there is angry and confused cat of prey on the loose. It is saddening that the cougar was killed, but it was ultimately a public safety issue that needed to be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Evansvillehousewife, "wicked problems" are all of societies ills which are not easily solved. Drug dealing, drug use, prostitution, poverty, you name it. Each one of these problems potential leads to another one of the problems, which, when mixed together, become "wicked problems" because there is no simple answer like touting the merits of personal responsibility. Many of the kids have to fight against the "self-fulfilling prophecy." Some may call this "rising above your raisin..." In any case, You are right, everyone needs to take responsibility for their lives at some point. However, this is not a solution for childhood hunger. What type of burden is it to place the faults of a parent on an elementary school student?

Evansvillehousewife, I'm sorry if I presumed you have children. My mistake. I don't know many people who place their television directly in front of a window to flaunt it about--- so unless you've been snooping it seems odd you would know the soul reason for the kids going hungry is a parent's acquirement of a rapidly depreciating HDTV. The simple presence of a satellite dish does not indicate wild over spending on unnecessary items- it may just indicate the person who used to live there had the dish network or the person who lives there now once had the dish network. While proper investment is wise, if you're living pay check to pay check a Roth IRA isn't necessarily your first thought. Jobs and education are the real issues here.
On Teachers float list, pressure district

Assuming you're using "sleeping on the couch," as some kind of metaphor, you prove teachers are important and the job actions they suggest are necessary. Unlike the tired parent who can ignore the child's distress- a teacher is legally obligated to make a report. Does this make a teacher a better person? I don't know, but it does give them a pretty stressful job which deserves adequate compensation.
