MONTESANO, Wash. – Twelve minutes of freedom may mean twelve more months behind bars for a Grays Harbor County sex offender who ran from an officer.
He was caught, not by K-9′s or deputies, but by a pair of cable installers who happened to performing a phone and Internet installation just down the street from the county courthouse where Kenneth Herschler, 31, escaped.
Comcast employees Aaron Mefford and Jeff Furth said they didn’t know what was going on at first, when their customer told them he had seen a man in a dark blue jumpsuit and handcuffs running down the alley.

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 7:26pmIf you have ever visited Seattle…..hope you are sitting down…..everyone avoids or ignores the protesters. They are EVERYWHERE! When they got the bang a drum and scream in a bullhorn parade coming down the street, everyone ducks into a doorway, a store or whatever and lets them pass. It probably wasn’t noticed right away. That and there is maybe 8 or 9 real men in Seattle at any given moment.

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 6:22pmWould have been nice to see this sex offender returned to custody, “severely bruised, contused, lumped and bumped”. That is far preferable to any ‘treatment“ or ”rehabilitation” he might get. I would go so far to say, that I truly do not believe sex offenders can be “rehabilitated”, until the day they die….hey, that’s an idea.

Posted on April 23, 2011 at 1:29pmWay to go guys !!! Now…it‘s the American People’ s turn. We are about to chase down the enemies of our great nation with truth and honor. Truth will destroy evil’s platform. Many of those enemies are working inside our own government at the highest levels. Progressives could really use another “useful idiot” criminal thug in their ranks. Ohhh well, they have enough of those already. But don’t be suprised to see this criminal amidst their ranks sometime in the future.

It is painfully obvious I am not a lawyer, but suppose that this ‘evidence’ is correct; how does that not make odumbo a citizen? McCain was not born in the US – but he is a citizen through his parent’s citizenship. What is the difference?

more then that is painfully obvious, not sure what this post is doing here unless the buzzy little post cleaning bees have been here:) Any way only one of BO’s parents where American, he was latter adopted in Indonesia and he has a SS number is not a Hawaiian issue. Where he was born is not clear no hospital or doctor listed on any official documents or even that it was at home and where that home was??? Also being born a US millitary base anywhere in the world is being born on US soil PERIOD. McCain was born to a soldier working for his country in a foreign military base. I don‘t like McCain anymore then BO but YOU don’t belong in this country if you think there is any question that a soldiers child being born on a foreign base is not 100% US born and natural born. Only one US parent and adopted to another country with no definitive birth location (hospital, home attending DR.) and you want to call that natural born??? yea it’s real painful and obvious

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 8:18amTo DALE, I am one of those. I was born outside the United States of America. My dad was in the United States Navy. I have 5 Birth Certificates. I went to Canada last year and was held until an Immigration officer asked where in Canada I was born. When I started with U.S. Navy Base, he held up his hand and said enough. You was actually born in the USA.
