They need to be responsible, but they also need to educate their children. I grew up in a home with gun and was taught to give them respect. We knew it was not a toy, and we were even taken to shooting ranges to show the damage that could be done. Taking guns away is not the answer. Taking...

I write novels. It helps me dive into a whole new world and leave reality for a little while. I have written three paperbacks, four audiobooks and a dozen ebooks this year. I was really bored being sick most of the year, so I put my time to good use.

When I hear about cases where people on death row or serving life are released by new technology or evidence, I wonder if the death penalty should be allowed. However, I also think that perhaps it should be saved for instances where police catch the killer in the act. I also believe child...

We as citizens bestow a responsibility upon police officers to make life and death decisions based on their training and experience. If it comes down to a dead cop or a dead criminal, I would rather have a dead criminal. There is quite a difference between police brutality attacking an innocent...

A jerk totaled my Mustang GT and the officers arrested the drug induced man. The officers were quite sympathetic and professional. I really hate when people make derogatory statements against officers.

I have seen all the L&O and Criminal Minds.. so I moved on to the British murder mysteries. Some of them are so incredibly interesting and very different from US shows.

I live fairly close to both Gloucester City and Camden... and I can say I am not surprised at all. The woman was probably stoned out of her mind. He could have been driving a cruiser and she would probably still have offered. People are nuts

Police officers only bother criminals. Why would I feel awkward or fearful around them? We provide them with a certain degree of authority to protect us, then get nervous for what reason? The worst they are going to do is give me a ticket, I certainly have not done anything worth an arrest.

I get pulled over all the time in the same town, on my way home from the nigh shift. After getting pulled over three times in one week, I started buying coffee on my way home, knowing I would most likely get pulled over. The first time I did this, the officer laughed. Then it became a game where...

I once managed an Eckerd Drugs and an addict threatened me with a gun. Then he shot off his own foot which I would not give him Percacept. Some of these people are just THAT addicted. I still think if you hurt an animal or child, then you should suffer the same fate.

The more I keep reading the news, the more I think that something has infiltrated the food and water supplies to make us all stupid! I think parents need to instill fear in their kids again... no one takes responsibility for their kids nor their own actions. Maybe if his parents did a better...

While appearing to court for a drug possession charge, a 23 yr old guy showed up at the courthouse with a syringe in his pocket. The officers frisked him and found the needle containing heroine, and he said, "I thought I left it in my car". He was arrested on another count of possession. HOW...

Is anyone else just disgusted with the news? Every time we turn on the news, the sensationalism of who killed or attacks whom is what is of interest. Civil unrest, murder, child abuse, and worse seems to occupy our television channels. I'm to the point where I do not even want to turn on the...

A woman sliced her dog with a razor in order to get pain killers from the veterinarian. I'm not sure whether I feel sorry for her that she went to such lengths for an addiction that is controlling her, or whether I want the woman sliced with a razor -- and given NO pain pills. This world is...

Of course, this story takes place in Florida as well. Police responded to a domestic call and found a woman pounding on the front door of a home she shares with her boyfriend and sister. She had blood on her face. Once in the police vehicle, she told police she attacked her sister over a "a...
