Funny. As long as I've lived here it just brings out the drunken a**holes.

I agree with smartone618's assessment of this town and sentiment. Good Luck Mr. Jones! You have a very difficult task ahead of you: One of the largest school districts in the country, in a recession, in an area one of the hardest hit, with an undereducated populace that habitually rejects any form of tax or revenue increase and a constant sense that any government employee is somehow getting paid too much to do nothing.

Knee jerk commenter!
Do they have to protest every use of every weapon in order for you to accept any single protest as valid? I'm sure that they would all agree that your other examples are just a horrendous.
Unmanned is not a misnomer unless by misnomer you mean highly accurate word. Is it manned? by a human?

Wow! Just because you don't agree with the protesters' opinion does not make them idiots.
Well, i guess BRASS is accurate, there's clearly little else between your ears.

Yeah, I would say that was attempted murder. Pretty much anytime you fire a weapon at a person or persons whether in a vehicle or not, it is attempted murder. First rule I was taught when handling guns, never point a weapon at someone unless you are prepared to shoot them.
But, was he justified? No. Not to me he wasn't. Anyone who can't distinguish between eggs and an attempt on their life should not be able to own or possess a firearm any longer. Those who think otherwise should lose their rights to own guns as well. And that includes the endless hordes of trolls on the lvsun comments.

Ok, thanks. Good to know. Looks like they responded well.

Will we ever get to know what the "chemical" is?

Hmm. Yeah I doubt that the store owners or parking lot security, if they have that, had any idea that the cars were there for a vigil.
One way to have fixed that would have been to talk to someone - like the manager at the store you parked at - before parking there and going somewhere else. I'm guessing the shops near the park have issues regularly with people parking there and going to the park, I don't know.
That being said (in hindsight), now that everyone knows, do the right thing Tow Guys.

Video from lakemeader was good.
But sadly, many people's arrogance disallows them the ability to see themselves in those situations. It's always someone else that's the "idiot," always someone that's illegal or drunk. Or, they write it off as one of those things, as if it was going to happen regardless. But the reality is so much more.
We can all make simple, easy changes to how we drive that would save a lot of lives. But we're all in just such a hurry, and way too important to pay any attention, aren't we?

I am so very sorry for the cyclist's family and friends, and every other family that lost loved ones to someone else's bad choice.

Sweet! As usual Vegas is culturally behind the times. This time, apparently, by about 20 years...

"It is flat out wrong to hand people anything that they have not earned, besides opportunity."
and YOU get to decide what it means to "earn" something?
"Any parent can and will tell you this."
I know, any parent will tell you that your children have to "earn" a roof over their heads and food on the tale... That is such a bad comparison...
"They have controlled Congress, i.e. spending, for 40 of the last 50 years, and look at us."
One could take a snapshot at many others points when the economy was good and make the same assertion. That is a meaningless number manipulated to validate your own standpoint.
"Obamacare" isn't even remotely an entitlement. It actually empowers the insurance companies even more by mandating coverage.

I love when people assert opinions as if they were facts.
"Rory is going to lose in November."
Michael1, did you even read Jonathon_Abbinett's post? and your statements are just off.
"Stable, two-parent households are MUCH LESS LIKELY to live in poverty than single-parent households."
well, if they are stable and have two parents, then of course. It's a circular argument, two incomes create more income, therefore more stability, or if not more income then an extra pair of hands to do things like, I don't know, raise their children? So duh!
"If they have a broken home, no matter how good their education is they won't benefit from it."
that is just patently a false statement, unless you mean to say that people that grew up with stable homes tend to be stable as adults, but show me a stable home in which the child got a worse education than other children with "unstable"homes yet ended up better off. Hard to do I bet, since the stable home tends to come with a good education, and unstable homes with good educations tend to be wealthy and parental wealth is the number ONE indicator of future financial success for children. One can't really separate those things like that in the real world, just when you are trying to pass off your opinion as fact.
