True, you can't smoke in the car - but I doubt that's what they got cited for since it was a parked car - unless keys were in the ignition. We'll wait and see what comes of this.

Oh and BTW - NOTHING IS SAFE.

Doritos have MSG in them for crying out loud.

Red meat will kill you!

Fish has mercury!

The air we breathe has Ozone!

"Safe" does not apply to anything in modern society in the purest sense of the word. Just so you know.

Sorry Katie, but Opium is what makes Heroin.

Now I've never done either, but I am educated and have watched a documentary or two. So harsh.

I would like to know how much herb they had. Cause under an ounce is a misdemeanor and so is possession of paraphernalia. Know what that means? A ticket and having to say sorry at court.

They probably got ARRESTED for resisting and fleeing, but the weed charges are just what make the headline. Funny.

Tax it and make some money off of this! What the heck! If you don't like weed, I promise, we won't make you smoke it when it's legal. But you can't use our social services that it will pay for. Ha ha ha ha. Big deal!

All you people bagging on Vegas are acting like jerks. It's so horrible here, then go somewhere else; we don't want you. Granted, the whole graffiti thing was kind of blown out of proportion, but calling my home all these nasty names is really not necessary.

Let me guess, you are all from sunny California where life is just great, never mind the BLARING hole in your budget that is causing your state to write IOUs. (Last time I wrote an IOU and it was accepted as payment it was for my grandma and I was 5)

I love this city, I love the culture that is allegedly not here, and I love the people who stick up for the little tiny piece of history that the megabucks has not been able to tear down yet.

Go Vegas lovers and supporters, go!

This may be a totally wrong observation, but in my experience it's always the criminals who don't like cops.

I don't break the law so I don't have to worry about being shot. Even if a police officer showed up right now and drew his gun and told me to get on the ground - for no reason mind you - I would still do it. Then, once the officer felt safe enough that I could speak I would explain the situation. I wouldn't RUN! WHO RUNS!?!?! People who have something to run from.

Cops have the crappiest job. They are ALWAYS under the microscope. They have to deal with the emotional weight of their decisions on a daily basis - no police officer, good or bad, wants to kill someone. They don't wake up and say "hey this is a great day for some human target practice". Not to mention they get no praise for keeping our streets safe.

I don't want a cop on the streets who would not pursue an alleged criminal getting away. I don't want cops on the street who are afraid to do their job.

Sure there's a rotten apple or two in every bunch who abuses their power, but that should not create the assumption that ALL Metro is corrupt, evil, and does not have the city's best interests at heart.

If you're not guilty, if you are a law abiding citizen, YOU DON'T RUN!

Random - you talk too much. You should type out your long winded response, cut out 95% of the sentences and then post. Sheesh, a freakin book.

So...religious nuts out there...why do you so conveniently avoid the passage where Jesus said, "love others as I have loved you". In Jesus' time he embraced Lepers (which were thought to be sinners who were paying for their sins with this disease) and he also welcomed tax collectors among his ranks.

Truth be told, if Jesus was here he would have lots of gay friends. Judge not lest you be judged. What's the big freaking deal? Gay people are not asking to change the law so that ONLY gays can marry, they just want to be included in our heterosexual misery...er I mean tradition. Ha ha. Lighten up. If you want to preach, go to church. If you want to live free shut your trap and let others do as they want to.

According to your beliefs, it's not for you to judge anyway. It's up to God. Blessed are those who suffer in life for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Won't you be mad when Heaven has Gay Pride week. Holla!

Wow JHV so what did I say that was ignorant? You don't seem to know much at all. I never take "education lessons" from people with bad grammar and punctuation.

I know exactly what I am talking about. I have done primary and secondary research on this subject. As far as I can tell, you are just mad because I AM intelligent.

Please, if you find fault with my logic or points, refute them. By all means. But please, don't call me ignorant when you obviously don't even know what the word means.

Take a look in the mirror, then analyze the ignorance that is apparently running rampant on this page. (Just in case you're too dense to get that, it was a joke.)

oh one more thing. This is a purely Nevada against the world debate. Anyone who has lived here and calls this place home (NOT you transplants who call this the place where you bought your home) will tell you that Yucca has been a long and hard fought battle. We will never roll over for money, like the rest of the country seems to think we should. It's about more than money, or jobs, or any of that nonsense. It's about caring about the environment of our home.

Yucca by no means is a safe storage facility. If it was so easy to secure this waste, why not build this repository in the Montana hills or in the Ozarks, or any other place? Because people who care about Nevada are a minority. Everyone sees us as some lame desert. We don't have trees so we should house nuclear waste.

But those of us who really LOVE Nevada know that there is a huge ecosystem here that needs to be protected. We also know that our values cannot be bought. So, all you naysayers out there who want Yucca to go through, please leave Nevada. You don't care about her anyway!
