----was that used wrong?
Why is it acceptable to use racist, inflamatory remarks when describing one group of people BUT, it is not acceptable to use racist and inflamatory remarks to describe another group of people?
The man might have made an honest mistake, but his heart was in the right place. We need more people like him, helping people. Just think what our Country would be like if more people were doing "selfless" acts like this.....
If the community doesn't like the ordinances then they should not be bashing those who set the ordinances in place, they should look in their own mirror instead and bash themselves because CITIZENS allowed those ordinances to be made.
The community approved those ordinances (through apathetic inaction) and now the community wants to complain about them? If you did not complain when the ordinances were put in the books, then you have NO RIGHT to complain now. You could have prevented this from happening, you did nothing, and now those ordinances have to be followed BY EVERYONE.
If you don't like it, get off your ass and petition your local officials for change. The Citizens in the community rule those elected and those who receive paychecks from the local, state or federal government. If the rulers (YOU) sit on their asses and do nothing, do you really think those officials are going to care what the community thinks? No, they will do as they please, make unconstitutional laws and ordinances and while having the blessings of the apathetic Citizens.
I'm not saying the ordinances in question are unconstitutional, I'm just saying that Citizens in the community have no right to complain if they do nothing.
The comments I read sometimes reminds me of a nursery full of grown babies. Crying for a bottle and wondering why none is given. Maybe it's because they are supposed to get out of their pens and get their own damn bottle! So instead of complaining about how this man was treated, get off your asses and get your Picket signs made and organize a demonstration in town! If one is organized, I will be there, but I will be there picketing for the City, not this man who can't abide by local rules, regulations, ordinances and laws. I support the City in this instance, maybe not in many other instances, but in this one, Mr. Slaughter is the one in the wrong.
If you don’t have a picket sign, and if you don’t plan to protest, then shut the hell up because your whining is pathetic!
Drug Attics? Is this an attic for holding drugs, or do you not know how to spell addict? Before trying to convince someone, maybe you should pay better attention to your errors. No one takes ignorants who can't spell or write very seriously.
