I notice the village idiot is transcribing quotes for his posting as if he was there. It's plagiarism in the media world. Making statements from some others writings is a no no. How does one know if the writer got the facts as they are, or added a few tidbits to glamorize the story. If quoting a person, you have to have it correct from the word go. A reporter having to get a correction, is the worse thing that can happen if you intend to go up the ladder .It's a fun thing in the paper media. They know the local radio stations, not just around here, are reading their articles on the air. Saves a vast amount of money in not hiring reporters. Some editors will change a persons age by one year or change the address by a few numbers. If it's heard on the air with these changes, they know the stations are using their copy. |

LEt me see if I understand this, its wrong to cancel classes because a guy is on the loose and has shot people, but its not wrong to stop people for no reason to interrogate them with a roadblock? |

I didn't read about the police using any roadblocks to catch this killer. They did pull over trucks with drivers that matched the description of the shooter. One of the trucks that was pulled over on Wednesday was that of the killer. However, they let him go at that time,probably because he is a cop. When detectives reviewed all the stops made, they found something that eventually lead to his arrest. That is the kind of solid police work most people expect from the police. The killer actually posted on his facebook page that he was stopped and didn't like having a gun pointing at him. I think there will be plenty of things happening to him he won't like unless he commits suicide first. |

Facts are, they did have road blocks in some areas. Questioning drivers about what they may have seen in regards to the shootings. It's too bad when posters have to get all there facts from a paper. Folks like that could get a job at WJOB. That's the news department over there. The poster was correct. The reporter missed that part to the story so he couldn't verify that. I might suggest the poster would be very good at reading the news on the air. Well maybe not the news. I think the comic page would be more fitting. |
