ISU Golfer Found Murdered Yesterday

Sorry, I guess I read your point "as a parent" of going to the mall so you had "traceable" candy as an implication that you don't take your kids trick or treating.

Well my kids are ages 0 and 2 so we haven't gotten to that level yet :)

Put it this way. Lets say you and I worked together in the same office building. You've seen me around the office but you don't know me very well. You saw me go into the bathroom, and come out 15 minutes later and walk up to you and hand you a snickers bar. If you had the choice, would you rather eat the snickers bar I just gave you straight out of the bathroom...or one out of the vending machine in the break room? You're 99.5% sure I didn't do anything to the snickers bar while I was in the bathroom pooping, but you're 99.99% sure the vending machine snickers bar is just fine.

My boy's 2 and he's trick or treating this year. He wants to go as Santa but the Santa outfit I bought him last year is a bit small now.

And your hypo is asinine. I'm 100% sure that your Snickers is going to have microscopic fecal matter on it. Of course, the one in vending machine probably will, too. You know that a keyboard is way dirtier than a typical toilet seat?

Anyway, it's not that I don't trust candy at the mall, it's just that in weighing the trustworthiness of some 17 year old working for minimum wage at Spencer Gifts versus my neighbors, I'm going with my neighbors. I mean, I trust them both, but I was a 17 year old making minimum wage once.

Oh its a terrible analogy but when confronted with 2 options I'd probably choose the one I perceive to be "safer" even though they're both nearly 100% safe. Also, I barely remember my trick or treating days as a kid in Iowa. The only times I really remember were when it was super cold, or raining, or flurries, or all 3. I think we're taking our kids to the zoo this year and its 100% indoors and they serve alcohol. So maybe I'm just selfish and thinking of myself.

If the Snickers bar is unwrapped, toss that damn bar into the wastebasket while scowling furiously at the offender.....

As a teacher I ran a student concession stand. We made sloppy joes. One student confided later that chew and chew spit were additives.

I knew a gut that said while he worked at McDonald's in high school, urine was once an additive in the ice cream machine.

Looks like you need to rekindle the old "C.Y.P.A.W." thread from the old Scout site...

Let me tell you about the "Special Sauce"...I mean, do you like the "Special Sauce" they put on the Big Mac? Yeah, that's what I meant to say, disregard the first part of the sentence!
 
my question is how is a guy with a rap sheet that long not in prison?
Look at all the liberal courts and judges now days and I think it plays a part. Now that I just stated something political my opinion he should of at least had a ankle monitor and regular parole meetings then he wouldn't of been able to roam or live in homeless camps and required to work and in a half way home for a certain number of years and a mental evaluation for sure. But of course after most of these incidents we find several past incidents and long rap sheets of the perps.
 
Still no down vote option =/
Liberals would also legalize marijuana which would keep millions of people out of jail. Decriminalize other drugs and get them the mental health help that they need, rather then locking them in a cell for months/years at a time.
Jails would be half full and we'd have room for dickheads like this guy.

We've lost the war on drugs, badly. Cocaine is half the cost of what it was under Escobar. it's time to take a different approach.
