  • It’s pretty much impossible to adopt an animal from any shelter or rescue organization without that animal being spayed or neutered first, and rightfully so. It sets the owner up for a successful teaming with their pet, while not putting both of them through the problems of the animal coming in season or being “distracted” by females in season, along with preventing any potential unplanned pregancies. Interestingly enough, almost the only way to get an intact animal now is to buy it from a breeder.

  • LAMELIBERALS — Step one: The child THOUGHT of someone else. Blessings!

  • Sounds to me like Adam was a young man who never felt any physical or emotional pain, so he probably didn’t understand it in others. He allowed himself to be co-opted by evil and, when the opportunity presented itself, he acted in the manner evil wanted him to act. For the mother of this young man to have these types of weapons in her house, knowing what she knew about her son, shows a huge disconnect on her part — possibly denial (“MY son wouldn’t do that!”). This sounds as plausible a reason as we may ever get, not that there truly is any plausible reason, excuse or mental health issue to justify what Adam did. I just feel terrible for everyone involved.

  • Agreed.

  • I thought Obama did okay, until he started into “It takes a village” territory and politicizing it. This is a time for grief, not politics. But to Obama there seems to be no time or opportunity to NOT bring politics into it. It’s almost a classic — “Why waste a good crisis?”

    It appears that this evil Adam person (?) broke into the school by smashing a front window, thereby negating their security. Bullet-proof windows maybe? In another incident, the bad guy killed the security guard and walked right on past the metal detector, thereby proving where there’s a will, there’s a way. We can never make anything 100% safe. We’re humans. We’re sneaky and devious and tell us it’s impossible and we’ll figure it out, if that’s our goal.

    More gun laws are not the answer. Bad guys don’t obey laws, so that’s a no-brainer for me. I like the idea of more on-site security at schools, etc., but more than one human needs to be responsible for it. I’m for defunding the federal BOE and allowing states to fund returning military personnel as on-site guards. They can fund as much or as little as they like. Ex-military know and can recognize the signs of potential problems. That or wall off every school and only people with appropriate security cards can get on site. Oh, wait, that won’t work ’cause those things can be forged, stolen, replicated, etc. That’s my two cents.

  • Glenn and family, including Victor, I wish you all many blessings at this painful time. As someone who ha been blessed with the love and companionship of many dogs and cats throughout my life, I feel your pain. Don’t worry, Victor will let you know when he’s ready and that will give you the strength to do what you need to do FOR Victor.

    This may or may not help, but here’s what I do for myself when “that time” rears its ugly head: Be amazed that God leaves this huge decision to someone as faulty as I am; knowing that it’s one way to repay all their years of unflagging devotion; the fact that we’ll be reunited at “The Rainbow Bridge;” read Kipling’s “The Power of the Dog” many times; have a good, long, hard cry; and start preparations to do it all over again. I read somewhere that the best place to mourn and bury a dog is in the fur of another and, when I feel I’m ready, that’s what I do.

    A part of me has always been struck by the simple fact that D-O-G is G-O-D spelled baclwards. I wonder if He gives people of real strength, caring and character dogs as special gifts for reasons only He knows. Be well. Stay strong. Much love.

  • Wished it had gone on longer.

  • There are no better videos than this type — make me cry every time!!

  • I have personally known a number of honest and decent cops who treated everyone they encountered with respect. Worked with a number of them for 30 years.

  • Doesn’t this finding qualify as new evidence, meaning she could be re-tried?
