None of us have a crystal ball or the ability to see in the future or even read minds. All we have are the laws that govern us, and for better or worse they do a fairly good job of that. RIP little ones.

I was thinking the same thing when I first heard of this horrific tragedy. I bet this judge still thinks she did the right thing. It's pure politics with some of these judges (not all of them, thank god), and the cold part about it is that they look at these things as collateral damage without regard to their part in it. She shoudl be fired or step down, but she won't, because she will spin and use this tragedy as yet another political platform to propel her career. It is a cold game.

As far as any of us know, Josh was innocent of killing his wife, and is still innocent of that crime today, because we will never know truth and I'm sure the case is closed in the eyes of law enforcement. I agree with you on placing the blame at the feet of Judge Kathryn J. Nelson. It's very sad and very apparent that she was playing politics in the court room. There is no doubt that he was in the last stage of stress (exhaustion), and the stressor was constant. WTH did she expect would happen?

In fact, when I was a kid at camp our camp instructor would get us up at 0200-0300 to go into the woods and spot different animals in their natural habitat.

It holds all your gentic information. Giving law enforcement free rain to take and catalog your DNA is a very bad idea. That would be like (much worse), giving them your credit card or debit card along with your pin and account numbers as a second I.D., and hoping that nobody there would use that information for anything else except to identify you with.

That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. I guess calling someone European or African is considered a racial slur as well. Get real! My guess is that the only reason this ridiculous claim got any attention at all would be to down-play the real incidents or to make some news out of nothing. Just my 2cents.

It has been said that prostitution is the oldest profession in the world, but can you really take them serious when they say someone is stalking and preying on them. I mean isn't that what the job description entails; standing/walking on a street to get somebody to notice, follow and eventually conquer you for a price? Maybe, just maybe, these prostitutes should petition for hazardous duty pay. What do you think?

We must not forget the overzealous acts of the police, prosecutors and social workers that (not too long ago) had a witch hunt in Wenatchee for alleged child abuse. It got out of hand so bad too the point of arresting a whole neighborhood. That was a terrible situation for that community. I reserve the right to suspend judgement until compelling evidence is provided. If he is guilty, give his azz life behind bars.

What the hell is AT rep? You don't know WTH you're talking about. They were not in Yemen to refuel, and even if they were (which I seriously doubt), they were attacked because they were in a hostile area. The Navy does go into combat, dumbazz, in time of war. In fact, the ship I commissioned was named after another ship that was sunk in battle and the survivors of that ship came to the commission ceramony of our ship that was named in honor of them. These countries that we have been fighting don't have a Navy strong enough to even think about jumping into the water with us.

Why? What in the hail does it have to do with a Rambo wannabe? If anything, they should be feeling good for the way they voted, because this scenario only proves them right by allowing people to arm themselves against wild animals and wild wannabe Rambos when camping. Voting against it would not have stopped this from happening.

Kind of like seeing the world as flat, and believing this to be true.

Home invasion, strong armed robbery, theft, breaking and entering, and assault, just to name a few. I'm sure the proscutor can think of some more.

I was sitting at home studying for a nursing exam when I heard the collision followed shortly by an explosion. I ran outside and up the street to see both vehicles on fire. Some other good samaritans got the people out of the SUV and the man (driver of SUV) was placed in the median. I went over to assist with any first aide needed until emergency rescue arrived. The driver started having siezures after the fact. Although, it's possible that he had a siezure when he was driving, but I seriously doubt it. The type of siezure he was having seemed more along the lines of being induced from shock related to the trauma experienced from the car accident.
