The mobyditch type in this country has grown in number. Preparations were always in place to protect the US from a potential offshore enemy. But as a country we completely missed being systematically dismantled and destroyed from within, by our own misled who we would never consider calling a enemy.

Fast' Ed, isn't your side that's rationalizing?

What's wrong with some of you people? This family had their home broke into, they were violated by criminals. And your blaming these people because their home was violated and guns were stolen, along with other possessions? How would you feel after you realized criminals had entered your home and violated what you knew as your ultimate privacy and security?
The focus needs to be on criminals and gangs, NOT law abiding citizens. It's easy to be a Tom Dart, Gary McCarthy or Rahm Emmanuel and go after the law abiding gun owners, gun shows and gun manufactures in the guise of addressing crime. They can use their bully pulpit position and sound like they're taking some kind action, but the lazy and meaningless action they're taking is against law abiding people. They know the law abiding don't fight back lawlessly and the shallow thinkers feel some satisfaction after hearing the verbal spew.

They're woefully inadequate to address the real criminal element and the havoc they spread among the innocent, which more of is coming to us in the near future.

I've never read evidence of critical thinking in anything Phil Wieland has written for the Times.

Great management move at the Times. You recycle an old lib from the Tribune, just what everyone wants to read.
That twisted liberal spew the Tribune was printing made it such a great read I just had to cancel my subscription, like everyone else.
Rich James first Times piece isn't even worth comment.

Come on oak tree, I admire a person's loyalty, but after witnessing all that transpired in the Pine Creek rezoning you think anyone is going to believe that? This is not an administration who works for the citizens, it's more like a kingdom that has subjects.

Come on Times, the article's a bit weak. Need to put that award winning talent into action and add some detail to the writing. There were two video camera's running in the room, front and back. Review the tape and take another run at it.
And yes, there were a few verbally unruly people in the last meeting but really, having what looked like an entire VPD patrol shift in that room lined up along the walls? What country is this again?
Attorney Schaefer and the citizens who spoke presented a very compelling fact based case for not approving this zoning request. If the Costas administration ignores all logic, fact and approves this, it certainly won't be because of lack of effort by attorney Schaefer and the citizens in uncovering this fiasco.

Unfortunately Tim Burkman's comment hits hard and points out that to a degree the fight began too late "This property is already in the city". I think very early on as mayor, Costas was quoted as saying "if a city isn't growing its dying". We now know he was talking about sprawl, consuming as much rural property as possible.

The Costas administration is no friend of rural living, that just gets in the way of city growth. The greater the population density the better for this administration, along with its desire for public transportation and to be like Gary of long ago.

So is this an incestuous mix of governance and personal business interests?

And what was with Al Shields yes vote at the end of that meeting? He looks right towards a group of seriously agitated people (and rightfully so), leans into the mic for his yes vote while staring at them... wow. Intentionally further agitating an already worked up group of people? That's a foolish and immature person, and just another example of the city's attitude towards WT.
