In response: “To the ranter who labels all Democrats as heathern murderers:  I’m a Democrat but I do not believe in wholesale abortions. I do believe there are circumstances where abortions are justified.

Perhaps you don’t remember the Thalydimide horrors of the 1960s. I’m also not a one issue voter, and I have voted for Republicans in my lifetime. And as far as the Democratic Party being in shambles, perhaps you should do some analysis of the Republican Party.

Curious

“I’m curious about some of the crime stories where the victim says he or she doesn’t know the assailant or else is reluctant to give the police any details.

More roadblocks

“I agree. Set up more roadblocks. If the person (regardless whichs segment of society he or she represents) is drunk or unlicensed and uninsured, take them off the road and keep them off the road. And yes call it ‘targeting.’ It’s targeting those who break the law. And it’s protecting society.

Fireworks

“Please stop the fire works: The fire works started in my neighborhood last Thursday. The dogs are going crazy. Day and night they continue until early morning. What are the city rules? Please city council rethink the rules for fire crackers in the city limits. Some sound like guns. Help!

Gunfire?

“I grew up around firearms and I know what they sound like. Some of the fireworks I heard in my neighborhood we definitely from semi-automatic weapons. Remember, what goes up must come down.

My experience

“I’ve known several Muslims in my life. They did not promote nor did they exhibit any attitudes of inflicting terror on anyone. If you read the Old Testament in our Christian Bible, you will find some pretty harsh actions there as well. Christ did not advocate such anger, however. His was a message of ‘love your neighbor.’ You can find good and bad in many situations.

Columnists

“Yes, the ultra conservative columnists have been trying to work around Trump even to the point of telling him to act more presidential. Of course they always save a few paragraphs to point out the errors of the Democrats.

We got them, too

“Someone should tell the little man in North Korea that the U.S. already has missiles that can reach him as well as those that can intercept anything he fires off.

Speeders

“I’ve noticed that on weekends when there are few people downtown, some drivers come flying down Main Street. I had one last Saturday morning to force me back into my parking space. It’s like he saw me backing out and speeded up to force me back in.
