There must be a special place in hell for parents like this one and some that others have mentioned.

On Shoplifting

Posted on November 12 at 3:30 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Shoplifting is a significant problem. It's estimated that more than $13 billion in property is shoplifted every year. That breaks down to $35 million per day. It has actually put some small merchants out of business.

As a 8 y/o child I stole a baseball glove from the dime store and got away with it too. That is until I got home and my mother found out about it. After she smacked me a good one she took me by the arm and marched my butt down to store where I had a little meeting with the store manager. Then she grounded me for a week but they didn't have me arrested. The whole experience was enough to teach me that I didn't want to be doing that again.

The state has a video recording of him staggering drunk that I have seen. Also another article that I've read gave his BAC which, while I can't remember it specifically, I do recall was considerably above the .08 level of legal intoxication.

On Changes to auto insurance laws are complex and have deadlines

Posted on November 10 at 2:17 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Many states have had mandatory insurance laws for a considerable peroid of time but none of them have been able to eliminate uninsured motorists entirely. It just isn't going to happen. Hopefully the number, currently about 15% in Wisconsin, will be dramatically reduced but it's never going to be zero. You have individuals who are willing to drive without any license or with one that is suspended or revoked. They lack a sense of social responsibility and they're not going to quit driving because they don't have insurance.

I don't have a problem with Wood's not appearing or standing mute. True, the burden of proof is on the state. Given the overwhelming evidence the state has that shouldn't be too difficult a task.

As slow as it takes to get a conviction that can stand up to an appeal. The dude is already in jail. What more do you want?

On UW-W student questions on-campus grocery prices

Posted on November 6 at 9:22 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

"Dodge said for many students, especially those who live in the dorms and don’t have a car, eating meals in campus dining facilities is their only option."

Too funny. Students in their late teens and early twenties can't traverse a half mile if they don't have a car.

I've got news for them. Compared to other area grocery stores the prices at Sentry are no bargin either.

It's unusual for the perpetrators of these types of crime to spend much, if any, time in prison. I'm not saying they shouldn't just that they don't very often. Desperation may drive these people but eventually greed takes control.

On Favre shakes off boos, Vikings beat Packers 38-26

ramstud, I've been a PACKER fan since 1950's. There were good times and there were bad times. I've seen them both and my loyalty has never waivered. But you specifically said "no one could have told you who Lombardi was until Favre showed up" and that is simply nonsense. They didn't name the Super Bowl trophy after him because he was an unknown and anyone who's followed the team prior to 1992 when Favre came around knew who Vince Lombardi was. I've known of Vince Lombardi long before Brett Favre was born.

"Nobody could have told you who Lombardi was until Favre showed up."

I guess that would explain why they named the Super Bowl trophy after him. Lombardi won five World Championships, six Western Conference titles and two Super Bowls. He had a .728 winning percentage as the PACKERS head coach.

ramstud, no offense intended but you need to buy a clue.
