Current News & Events / Re: Vigilanteism? Some locals are sick of the crime
« on: November 10, 2011, 08:30:21 AM »
As long as they're over the threshold of your home right?...... and without CSI - Las Vegas style folk around here, who'd know if you dragged them there right?  :)

seriously though - I feel the pain - what ARE folks to do when there isn't enough of a police force to actually patrol and deter?

My house, which is nearby the one that was broken into yesterday had the SAME thing done abotu 5 years ago.  Though that free-loader was looking for guns and prescription drugs (the drugs he did find surely made him sick as they were 6 years old).  Afterwards, i boobytrapped the house everytime we left it for like 3 months.  Just glad i didn't get that ice pick to the head during that time.   
I feel the pain of the folks who have been violated for sure.

Current News & Events / Vigilanteism? Some locals are sick of the crime
« on: November 09, 2011, 04:11:19 PM »
Spoke to a few locals today who say they're sick of hoping the marginal law enforcement coverage will deter/catch the recent criminals to canvass the area.  Though usually law abiding citizens ( to my knowledge ) the theme kept coming back to takign matters in their own hands.  I know we all enjoy the occasional cathartic thought of personal justice, but this talk was definitely beyond that.  No objection or reasoning i interjected seemed to corral them away from taking to roads in search for a scumbag to 'take care of'.  Glad they consider me a friendly acquanitance is all i can say after hearing some of their conversations about how they'd 'bring' the scumbags to justice.....

Lets all say a prayer for those violated......... and that frustrated citizens get some justice with the apprehension of these criminals and the return of stolen properties.

Current News & Events / Break-in / Robbery on Goose Pond today
« on: November 09, 2011, 03:43:09 PM »
At about 11:30ish today a scumbag thief kicked in a door at residence on Goose Pond Rd today and stole Electronic equipment, a Flat Screen TV and gaming system.  The family of course feels violated and the children frightened that someone would do something so horrible.  A vehicle seen int he area was reported to the police and they are currently attmepting to locate the owner for questioning.  As most scumbags who steal have no integrity or sense of morality - hopes of them returning the stolen property or turning themselves in are slim to none.  Anyone seeing suspicious vehichles or sketchy individuals in the area of River Road, Goose Pond Rd, School Rd or Pumpkin Hollow rd in Fletcher please call Vt State police in St Albans.

I heard it from my backyard on Goose Pond.  Was concerned as well as the last time I heard an accident on 104 on that stretch of road that motorcyclist died.  Glad the news wasn't grim this time around.

Hmmmm Shumlin's only been govenor for what?  and it's always been VTs position to look the other way.... and the govenor for that last few terms has been.... a republican?  But Douglas didn't get any heat for that.  Do soem research into how many Vters are lining up outside of farms to work there.... or protesting that there's illegals working for cheaper wages then them... matter of fact - research that in California, Texas, and all southern border states and please bring the credible resources and results back to this forum.

Folks want laws to be followed eh?  Only when they serve and agenda or heated position - such as illegal workers - so it's ok to recially profile if they look to be here illegally - and ok if that tropper was wrong and we pay for the potential civil suit. Ok I see these positions clearer now.

Lets break this down:

You attack me and assume I'm the "people back in the states" who call the shots ( you're right - let's stop pretending we're civilized because we're not and no one fighing wars, exectuing criminals, walking by homeless on the streets engulfed in alcoholic depression {some of them veterans who's country didn't get them the help they needed} is) because i have an opinion contrary to yours.  You have emotions based on your opinions ( or your opinions generate youR emotions) and your opinins are based on your experiences or more succinctly those of others.  Thus you're allowed to think and feel however you like.  And this allows you to rationalize attacking someone else for the right to have thier opinion based on their experiences ( or those of others just like you do).

You hear someone elses account of an experience and before you think critically, you entrust everthing being told to you, in the manner it is, is purely the facts.  When you probably know that emotions cloud the truth and the facts.  I too have friends and family in the arm services and know have seen what being immersed in such environements can do to a human.  Our Higher thinking brains were not meant for such stress and trauma.  I do not belittle or refute the grotesqueries of war and the evil of enemies who care not for decency, let alone human life.  What I do suggest is that if we do want to be civilized - we come to terms with our biggotry, hypocracy, and arroagnace as a species as these are the root causes of many a conflict..

Common for police to ask for all IDs of everyone in a car WHERE?  and how do you know?  are you a cop?  got a lot of police friends that you'll have back you on this?  even if you did - the fact you don't even consider the possbility of their being bias speaks volumes.  Police are just like you and me - rooted in personal belief and convictions - and they, for the most part, have to and do leave those at home or in the car when they're on duty.  NOT all can though - just as not all of us CAN not speak our biases in every day life 

Just as your friend thats no longer with us ( god bless and rest their soul and sacrafice) made the saying up  it was surely more about the region and hell they were in - not here - which is what we're talking about - lets not keep trying to change the venue.  I don't think you'd go into a mosque in VT or New York and recount your saying.   As you would surely look prejudiced and biggoted.  And i have to think you're not that at all - just passionate.

We are a nation built on immigrants.  We are the richest nation in the world - living amongst one of the poorest and unsecure nations - of course they want in.... they want what we have it's all they see.  Nevermind the cost of it wepay every day.

I wasn't talking about peace-loving nationalities in other countries- i was talking about the ones - living here in the US as citizens legally - that were guilty by association after 9/11. Sure we were all scared - but fear isn't unbiased now is it?  I myself, Havign to fly afterwards was uneasy.  Partly because of the racial threat, partly becuase i thought we were untouchable - that our government was highly effective in protecting us.  I didn't attack it afterwards as where is the productivity in that?

The trooper did NOT have to ask for IDs for everyone in the car - only the driver - thus his reasoning DOES come into question FXDHS.  When you get pulled over - has the policeman ever asked for all IDs of everyone in the car?  Never has that been asked of me.  THUS - unsual behavior that appears to be biased- which would violate their own policies - cut and dry?  Maybe not - if the illegals were acting suspicious or nervous than he HAS probable cause ( though that hasn't been released to the public)

Are you contesting the law?  Interpreting it in your own way?

A little Saying?  From who?  a credible source?  or someone who is biased themselves?    No where did i say illegals should get a free pass nor did i take a stab at local or state government in the process - which is where many arguments/debates go astray - when folks stray from purely factual discussions.

the problem?  Racial Profiling.  What if they were legal workers?  VSP would have a law suit on their hands that tax payers would pay for.

That was pretty ugly after 9/11 and only served to energize the finatics aborad and victimize the peace-loving nationalities that were/are legal citizens of this country.

Can't pick and choose when we back the law right? 

Fair outcome here?  - give them 30 days to settle affairs make a little more cash ( as they do the grunt work that the rest of us don't want to do around here) before deportation.

when i went by at 8:30ish today, there was a small army of men there too.  At first i thought " NO bed bugs have hit Fairfax!" but then i figured they'd be wearing a hell of a lot more protective gear than work gloves....
Busted pipes maybe?  Sudden abandonment?

It was i agree.  Then you had some Mother who obviously wasn't fit for rural living, who'd lived here for a short time and didn't bother trying to be part of this community, make a really bad comment on the website.  Methinks she was one of those people who have fantastical ideas of moving into an area and having things revolve around them and their needs;  Not once thinking of what it meant to be part of the community at large.  She's also obviously poorly educated as anyone who wants to be taken seriously, kows an argument has to at least attempt to show both sides in order to hold any credibility and as hers solely paints Fairfax as a hillbilly bad place to live and Burlington is a great place to live, she's obviously of low class and gravely misinformed.
