  1. Dear FISHING--The problem in this specific case is NOT unemployment. The problem is lack of decency and morals!
    Sadly, there are many people who are unemployed. The overwhelming majority of those people are NOT roughing up and robbing the elderly!

  2. I celebrate every bit of progress on the employment front! Particularly an apprentice program for iron workers, which is a very high paying job.
    As for the one work/three watch rule---Have you ever looked at the guys working 150+ feet in the air???? They are not up there socializing.

  3. Since when do rapists travel in teams? Could this be some kind of crazy gang initiation thing? And yes, they should have their manhood cut off....by the Realtor they attacked. If she is too traumatized to do it, I know hundreds of us that would volunteer for the job.

  4. I'm guessing he was offered a plea agreement because the prosecutors didn't think they had enough evidence to get a jury to convict on the charge that would have carried a max 50 year sentence.
    It's not about what they do, it's about what you can get a jury to believe they did and say GUILTY.

  5. Really??? Do we even have to have a discussion about what the law is or isn't and how annoying someone driving slower than I want to drive...in the left lane?????
    Come on people, this isn't the wild west! The guy shot at her. You know what that will get you????? 3 HOTS & a COT! Oh yeah, and an introduction to BUBBA, his new cellie.

  6. Hmmm...let's see. She followed him, contacted the police and he was arrested. Clearly she's not that stupid. How many people do you know that can drive a car AND shoot at the car behind them at the same time? People not in the movies, that is!

  7. My friend in Portage was listening to the scanner at the time and he told me that the newspaper story squares with what they were saying on the scanner. Nothing to cover up.

  8. I feel so badly for the residents of Fieldstone Crossing that this has negatively affected. I have no idea what is motivating the plaintiff, but his legal bills now far exceed his loss in property values and will soon exceed the original purchase price of his home, if they haven't already! And all the anxiety and pain he has cost his neighbors, not to mention...cash!
    If you are at all familiar with the specs of a typical Aldon home of that time you can easily see that he went well beyond the specs from the beginning---thereby over improving for the neighborhood, putting himself at risk for the very thing he is complaining about. Ironic, isn't it?
    Nobody likes it, but it's a cold hard reality of the housing recession that builder/developers that have empty lots must design homes to appeal to the buyers that are willing and able to buy new homes in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Lake and Porter County are filled with subdivisions of homes that started out with higher dollar homes and ended up with homes that cost less to build--but would sell...and are still very attractive homes that anyone would be proud to own!
    The simple fact of the matter is that the original homeowners in Fieldstone Crossing would have lost MORE value if those lots had sat empty. Nobody is happy about the value of their homes due to the recession. The value on my home has gone down nearly $60,000 since 2008!!! I, however, am not filing frivolous lawsuits against my neighbors----who are good, hardworking people that had nothing to do with my losses. I simply put my big girl panties on and take one day at a time, knowing that this crazy economic recession can't last forever. End of rant.
