Elliot McCowan may have helped Dustin cover up the murder, but still, the Porter County prosecutor helped cover for a child molester who worked for a nonprofit affiliated with the Porter Co govt, and then, they also helped sweep a rape under the rug....remember this when reelection comes around!

Sinc when is it professional for a police officer to hug a victim's mother? I thought they weren't even allowed to shake hands with people

if it is in fact a claw used for straightening the river maybe the historical society would want it

ok..im interested in what this big hunk of iron is, looks like a claw almost...prolly 200 lbs. Im in Algrhim's Park by where one of the dredges was kept, it's almost like a bayou now.

Talk about raping the land.

"During the period of 1906-1918 the federal government "straightened" the Kankakee River in Indiana. The Kankakee was reduced from a 270 miles meandering river to a 90 mile straight ditch. The wildlife was immediately adversely impacted and drastically reduced. There has been a continuing effort since the early 1930s to restore some areas of the river to its former beauty."
Used to be the best place to hunt birds in the world.

BTW, there is what I believe to be a piece of a dredge or barge that was used for the straightening of the river by my house, it's like 200 pounds of scrap iron, i think it might have more historic value than its weight in scrap metal....maybe il take a pic of it when the rivr is low again

Hey! I'm curious, would Lakeshore be angry if I posted the movie Everglades of the North on youtube or copied the iso for ppl?

Yes, I agree, these books can be cooked. There was a question on the LSAT that played on this same irrational thinking. If they decreased the amount of police officers, then the amount of crimes reports they filed will also be less. The only way to be sure if this is not a deceiving statistic is by looking in the annual/uniform crime report or whatever it is called.
