Yeh, they may have closed some streets around 8:45 but they had guns drawn before 8:30. I turned from Milton. Ave. onto Mt. Zion a little before 8:30 and I saw 2 officers with long barrel guns out and 1 with a hand gun, one gun with a pretty big scope on it. That officer was standing behind on unmarked squad right on Mt. Zion as we all passed. You think they might have called for backup and streets to be closed sooner than that. I do support our police force, but that was a little scary to be driving right past all of that.
I am glad that the man is safe and that nobody got hurt. I'm really glad my kids were already dropped off and not with me at the time.

On New support group to help single moms with daily struggles

Where in the story does it talk about 3 single moms? Sounds like someone has some personal grudge or something. The comment doesn't make sense. People in this town need to be more concerned about "keeping their own yard clean" and worrying less about what is going on in other people's lives or how they came into their situation.
On Student safety trumped Obama speech

totellthetruth: Yes, I have children in school. I also know that children respect the Presidential postion more than most adults do. I know that children will listen to a "stay in school and work hard" message from a public figure better than they will from a teacher or family member. I know that whether I voted for President Obama or not, I would rather have my children hear the message come from him than most of the "professional sports players" out there who attempt to deliver the same message. What is wrong with a President presenting a message about helping Him to make our country a better place to live? Have you heard of the phrase "What you think about you bring about?" I would much rather think about a future of young people doing whatever they can to better our communities and country and think positively about the future. The alternative is to choose to do nothing but complain about what is wrong like many of the readers here. Negative only brings on more negative and I choose to go with "rainbows and unicorns".

totellthetruth: I don't know why you would "promise" to keep you child home on census day. District funding for the next year is calculated on that number. The fewer children in school on that day, the fewer dollars that are received. That very well could result in local taxes increasing even more. Geeessshh!!
I don't know why so many people here appear so suprised at the parental reaction. I think that many people would be shocked if they knew what teachers and administrators dealt with on a daily basis for "parental demands". Remember the days when your parents got a call from the school? You got in trouble from your parents BEFORE they even knew what you did. Nowadays it is "Oh no, not my child. They would NEVER do that." OR "How dare you discipline MY child." Teachers do not have time to make up stories about child behavior issues and often feel as their hands are tied due to unsupportive and sometimes threatening parents. How sad that our public education system has been reduced to this.
The reaction of some parents does not surprise, but again only disappoints, this reader.

ImJustSaying: I can understand what you are getting at about a teenager's attitude just taking a person to the limit which, in some people's minds, may account for ONE slam (however, I do not agree with even one). But it absolutely does not even remotely begin to excuse repeatedly slammings...This situation is very sad and disturbing.

twerp: I totally agree! Mike puts a smile on my face and leaves me laughing on a daily basis. I love the songs that he records his daughter singing. Favorite: "The Coffee Song". My 7 and 5 year old children love the "Short-sleeve Steve" songs. :)
