Pot, in my opinion is not bad. I grew up with a lot of pot smokers and coke heads and it was the cocaine addicts that ended up not amounting to anything and not doing anything with their lives. Most of the people who smoked pot eventually ended up quitting when they got older. The coke heads are still doing it. I know one in paticular who spends every cent she has on it rather than on her kids. She has stolen to support her habit, she has whored herself out to get it and she has put herself and her children in danger trying to get her next fix. I for one have never heard of a pot head stealing or prostituting themselves out just to get high. To me, it wouldn't matter what race these people were. I'd feel the same if they were caucasion. Cocaine is a nasty drug.

On Boy accidentally started fire
Posted on May 13 at 8:06 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
In Brodhead the fire department goes to the schools and talks to the kids about the dangers of playing with matches and lighters. They show the kids a video, they teach them what to do encase there is a fire, they take them on a tour of the fire station and they also let them ride in a fire truck. The school has a whole week that they call "fire prevention week". They practice fire drills and the kids have to make a fire escape plan, with their parents, showing their house and all the exits encase there is a fire. They also have to show a meeting place outside of the home for all the family members encase of a fire.

Taco Bell and McDonald's would be the last two places I would eat if I wasn't feeling well... Maybe she was just stopping there to use the rest room or to get food for someone else. Thank god no one was hurt. She was probably pretty embarrassed by the whole thing not to mention being questioned by the cops when you are already not feeling well.

minu: Reporting the whole honor roll thing is probably their way of saying that these are generally good kids and not big trouble makers. It could also be a way of pointing out that this could happen to any kid and not just the troubled one's. It not smart vs. dumb. Even smart kids can make immature desicions. I was always on the honor roll and never caused any trouble but even I made some very immature decisions at that age.

intheloop: Yes, them knowing eachother is why we can have sympathy for them. That and the fact that this was a choice they both had made. Had it been a 17 year old injuring another teen who just happened to be walking by, I probably wouldn't have any sympathy for him at all and would probably agree to jail time.

I don't believe that 17 year olds should have a "get out of jail free card". Most of the one's in jail probably deserve to be there. This incident just happened to be two teenagers playing around. They made a stupid choice to use a vehicle as a toy and one got hurt in the process. They weren't under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they didn't cause injury to any of the innocent bystanders (thank-god), and the way it sounds neither boy has been in trouble for anything like this before. Let's say that they weren't using a vehicle. Let's say that they were just out playing football, like all teenage boys do, and they got a little too rough and when one boy got tackled by the other his head hit the ground too hard and he suffered a concussion. Should the boy who tackled him be put in jail? Kids, and even adults, can get seriously injured playing football. Do we call them stupid because they play the game even though they have a chance of getting hurt? Does anyone get jail time for hurting someone else in the game?

Unidentified: I know for certain that Lear's employee's are going to be getting their unemployment and also the option to go back to school. My sister-n-law works there and is looking into going back to school as soon as she is out of a job.

I wouldn't worry about overcrowded jails... I heard on the news the other night that Rock County is starting a program designed to send inmates home. It is going to start on July 7th, I believe, and they are going to start with approximately 20 inmates. The non-violent inmates will have a chance to apply for this program that lets them sit out their sentence at home. They will be required to do community service and will be able go to work so they can pay off their fines, child support, etc... I think they said that out of around 500 inmates they have 100 that would qualify for this program. They said that it would make room in the jail and also save the county a lot of money. I think they said that it takes around $60/day to house the inmates at the jail.

To Spedtke: I guess you have never done anything stupid and reckless as a teenager. Either that or you are one of those hypocritical people who pretend like they have always been perfect little angels their entire lives. I know quite a few people who will never own up to some of the stuff they did growing up.

Ometepec: What does (JAJAJAJAJAJA) mean? Who in here is talking "mad" stuff (as you put it) about Hispanics? I think the majority of us don't have a problem with the Hispanic race who are here legally and are law obiding citizens. These "gentlemen" whether legal or illegal, are selling cocaine, which the last time I checked is against the law. I think that is what most of us in here have a problem with. I also think, of course this is just my opinion, that most of us have a problem with anyone living in our country illegally. If these "gentlemen", who broke the law, are also here illegally I say kick their butts back to Mexico. What is all the nonsense about the KKK and do they actually have a "club"? You need professional help. Seriously, please get some help...
