Let it Out Indianapolis
Danger!
Dec 23, 2008Brian - Broadripple
Congratulations Indianapolis you have set a new record for the amounts of murders in one year. As of the 21st there have been 121 murders. The previous record was 120 in 1998. Its hard to feel safe anymore. The economy is down, Indianapolis is being hit hard with unemployment and people are going to get more desperate. The police are currupt and are losing their authority. Greg Ballard can't do anything right, making Indianapolis leaderless. We have to ban together as communities and as a city. As the honest and hard working people of Indianapolis we deserve to feel safe and have a safe environment for our kids. We have to watch each others backs and be able to count on that someone has yours.
suicide?

On Christmas eve 2008 in broad daylight a man shoots himself in the chest and dies. Only fox reports this with just a paragraph and every other Indy media brushes it under the table, If they disregarded this then what else aren't they telling us?
Another police F*%k Up
Jan 2, 2009Jackie Zurich - Geist
To start off the new year the Indy police took another blow to their image when a 20 year mother of two died after being hit by a speeding cop car on its way to a call with no lights or sirens. The Indy police don't seem to be able to go a month without some sort of blunder. It never fails. Clean it up coppers. You're losing our respect more than ever, in a time when we need you most.
girl that was killed by a speeding police car
Jan 3, 2009imjustsayin - Broadripple
So, I was watching the news the other day and they had a story about the girl that was struck by the police car. I would agree that it is sad that some one lost their life but I have to ask my self.. Why the hell was she out walking in the middle of the night? She had 2 children at home that was 6 and an 18 month old...She was twenty years old. Which would have made her 14/15 when she had the first child. Shouldn't she have been at home taking care of her children instead of trapsing through dimly lit streets??
re: girl hit by speeding police car

I am sorry to say, regardless of whether or not she was walking where she shouldn't have been, the IMPD needs to start polishing their image. Apparently the girl was intoxicated and well as we all know, we don't do the smartest things when we are three sheets to the wind. It's well known in Indianapolis that there are police officers who take advantage and these silent runs come at the cost of innocent civilians. Something needs to be figured out soon because I am tired of being ran off the road by a police car with no lights and sirens because they don't want to scare a criminal. Does my safety not matter anymore? To add to it- hopefully they take away their cars to use as personal vehicles. There is absolutely no reason for the taxpayers to fund their Sunday drives (or races I should say).
bus stop burglars
Jan 23, 2009katy - northside
It sounds like a Hardy Boys book, but this is actually happening in town. I guess two people are robbing kids at gunpoint while they're waiting for the bus. Seriously, what the hell? Is this really what it's come to? Stealing lunch money and ipods AT GUNPOINT?!! I feel bad for the kid who was worried about his homework being lost and getting in trouble at school. Now that's a kid who isn't gonna grow up to rob children at bus stops!
This World is so F*cked Up
Feb 4, 2009raving lunatic - northside
Ok so everyone in the state of Indiana knows how bad the roads were Tuesday. They were so bad that one of my employees had a serious car accident right in front of my office and I ran out to help her. She was really bad off, she was bleeding profusely and had broken bones in her face. The really F*cked up thing was there is a doctor's office right in front of where the accident happened and one of the people helping us ran over to the doctor's office to ask if they could come out and help. They REFUSED! Said that due to office policy/liability they could not help her and that we would just have to wait for the ambulance. OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BEING A DOCTOR IF YOU DON'T HELP SOMEONE IN NEED!???? What if she were bleeding from an artery and would die in minutes if someone didn't stop the flow of blood and we couldn't wait for the ambulance? she would have died waiting and the doctors would have just sat in their office looking out the window. SOMETIMES the legal world has really screwed us that doctors are afraid to do what they were trained to do because they don't want to be sued.
Why do we have prosecutors anyway?
Feb 15, 2009IN-Country Dan - West Indy
Recently, Henderick's County Prosecutor Office fined a man that beat the hell out of a cop, only $1 and court costs, then let him go FREE!!!
Same Prosecutor's office, offered the same fines and a very light 'House Arrest" to a young man, that was drunk, admitted taking pills, and ran from the Plainfield Police after he attacked and beat 2 handicapped and elderly men and confined them in their own homes DURING HIS CONFRONTATIONS WITH THEM!!!
This same Prosecutor's Office ALSO sent these 2 elder handicapped men, letters telling them NOT TO APPEAR in the bail hearing on this man!!!!
Even though the courts in america are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC at all times!!
So; for a second time, the Prosecutor's office allows this CRIMINAL to again come back into the neighborhood and TERROIZE these 2 men!!
AND THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE STILL DOES NOTHING!! (when called about the threats).
Are we to start doing their jobs also for them???
This CRIMINAL has a record a mile long for drunken disorderly(7) and assults (2 priors) on others in his past, and they let him run free, even after he STILL VILOATES A RESTRAINING ORDER to stay away from these 2 handicapped gentlemen!!!
And he continues to drink, get drunk and make the neighhborhood where he lives in Plainfield FEAR WHAT HE WILL DO TO SOMEONE NEXT!!!
Maybe, he will be running for an election soon, and they wish him in office with the other crooks; THAT DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC AND PEACE WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ANYMORE!!
Good News? Of course not.

Indianapolis Woman impaled while breaking up white trash sword fight between brother-in-law and grandson. FWAAA? I guess I haven't been watching the local news, so I have to assume this was all over it. I actually had to look it up after seeing it on national news. The winner of the duel (as far as I understand the way these things work) was Chris Rondeau, whose Uncle died a few days later from stab wounds. However, since we no longer live in the good ol' days when an honorable man can stab a family member to death in an epic battle of the steel... well, he's getting charged with murder and such.
I know this is a tragic thing and all, but let me just point out the incredible irony of a man named Adolph killed by a WWII sword... in Indiana... in 2009. I'm gonna buy some lottery tickets tonight!
Here's the WTHR article, but I think I pretty much summed it up for ya. Plus, I'm no English major, but the author actually says, "Franziska Stegbauer, 77, ended up dead trying to break up a fight..." And while that's not exactly incorrect grammar... it's bad enough to make me wanna stab someone.
H1N1 Immunization

Where do teachers fit in on the H1N1 priority list? Now they are immunizing students at school but the teachers can not even pay to get protection!
New Gun Law to carry hand guns in autos
Mar 19, 2010Jason - Peru
that law biding citizens with a license to carry a handgun should have the right to keep it in their car, even at work as long as their car remains locked. I mean you don't want to go around telling people that you have a gun in your car or on your person (when not at work) anyways. People may park on company property when at work but what is in my car is mine not the company's. People obtain permits to carry, in order to carry for protection in case something should happen; and that could be either on the way to or from work before your able to get home to obtain your hand gun! Would your company want to be sued just because they didn't let you carry and keep in your car if something should happen to you to or from work?
Political Terrorist

Recent headlines,"local 11 year old calls 911 and saves his mommy from attack by her boyfriend."
I have sympathy for the child.
I have NO sympathy for the mother.
She deserves what she gets: she brings thugs into her home around her child.
In addition, she brought a man home outside of her race. Her child must have really been confused! Seeing mommy dating men outside of her race must have had the child discombobulated.
What is a young white child to think seeing mommy bring home men outside of his race?!
Obviously, the mother is morally and ethically bankrupt!
Ironically, she is now marked for life. No decent white man will ever touch her or become seriously involved in her life. She now has no choice but to remain in the cycle of abuse with her chosen men of color!
Her young son has yet to see the faults of his mommy!
The grandmother was proud of her young grandchild: I wonder if she is equally proud of her daughter who prefers men outside of her race?!?
What a disgrace!
