We're supposed to feel bad that she is suffering emotionally and having
nightmares???? At least she's still alive to be having these problems!!! And she
should be suffering, two lives were taken because of her bad judgement!
Totally unbelievable!!! I'm sure he'll say the baby was crying and he lost his patience.........REALLY???? That poor little baby........how can anyone be so
horribly mean to an infant??
How can LePage threaten like that and it be legal??? We elected these representatives to support us, the people...and LePage thinks he can just
threaten them into doing what HE wants?? Again...is this legal??? I am so glad I didn't vote for him.
People losing their jobs is better then consolidating the two schools??? I
guess parents don't care as much about their childrens educations as they
should.
Just who does it hurt if two people of the same sex want to unite, legally??? It harms NO ONE! It has nothing to do with religion, though
good ole Michael Heath...who claims to be a good Christian, but teaches
hate.....is out there preaching that this union is against all religions!! Anyone, heterosexual, homosexuals,blacks, whites..we should all be able to marry whomever we want to share our life with. Our goal is all the same...LOVE!! If marriage is such a sacred thing...why are so many allowed to marry 7,8,9 times??? Look at all the married famous folks,several marriages, affairs,government people as well! And people are so fearful that allowing gay people to marry will destroy the sacrament of marriage??? Pleaseeeeeeee....
The reason it "clashed" is because Dale McCormick has a brain in her head and LePage doesn't!!!! We are losing someone very important when
Dale resigns!!! Very sad to see her go!!
Great job Lepage...you want the lawmakers to make these changes become
legal so they can happen? Isn't it bad enough you are going to affect those in great need? I'm so thankful I knew enough not to vote for you!
@ Roger Moulton....No, that's NOT all I took from the above article!
If it was, I would definately be a heartless moron!!! What I took from the article is that two innocent people lost their lives that day due to the fact that a habitual bad driver was allowed to use someones car and be out on the road when he had no license..FOR AN OBVIOUS REASON! Now 2 people are dead....2 families are suffering terribly today and for years to come because of this. I don't even know the victims and I cried when I heard of the terrible accident and deaths. I allow NO ONE to drive my car unless I know they have a valid drivers license and know their driving record. I know if they've been drinking or drugging, etc. Once I had someone my car keys...it's also MY responsibility allowing them on the road if they have no license or they are under the influence. Once MY car is on the road, whether I am driving it or someone else, it's still my responsibility.
I have known of several people that have taken advantage of the extended benefits so that they didn't have to go out and find a job. Now just maybe they'll have to get out and be forced to do something. I'm tired of hearing people are above working at fast food restraunts, etc. Working at McD's or Burger King, etc, doesn't mean you're some brainless person....it means you're working for a living!!!
How easy is it for this guy to "act" like he doesn't understand and "act" like he doesn't remember beating on his girlfriend? Has he
had mental issues before or does he have anger issues?? I'm so tired of everyone trying to use the insanity plea...his sitting there sobbing and rocking far from proves insanity. The guy beat his girlfriend...he belongs behind bars like so many other abusers...PERIOD!
All the money that could be saved by this alternative "natural" energy source and people keep coming up with these petty reasons why the town shouldn't have the turbines. Too much noise, it affects the scenic view, blah blah blah. Really????? What about all the money it could save??? Does that matter?? What about the cleanliness and lack of pollution? All the taxpayers money is being wasted by these yahoos going back n forth is crazy!! People need to get real and start being logical!!
People in the USA are lacking because the Govt' in this land of plenty is giving all our money and "plenty" away to other countries. The US is so concerned about looking good by helping other countries, but is constantly taking away from it's own people. But the one thing you'll never see is the Govt taking away from themselves!! They're paychecks don't get smaller, they don't lack in medical care, housing,food on their tables,they don't have to be concerned about the price of gas or if they'll have to worry about heating their home come winter time.
I totally agree with Cathy Bryant.....this guy should be used for dog bait.....the guys has no morals whatsoever!!! Thank goodness he's not up for bail! Keep him behind bars where he belongs!!!
And why isn't there guardrails or some type of fencing blocking the end of the road???? If the road ends at the waters edge, there should be cement barriers or something.......why wait till this type or horrible tragedy to put something up?? What a horrible death for this poor woman!
John Martin is right.........the flooding that took place near and around his home was nothing new. I lived on the Swain Road for 11 years and remember the countless times the road would flood. I also remember, as he stated....the shovels full of tar that were used to bandaid the problems. I recall several occassions when the road would flood at the intersection of Spruce and Maine. This Hurricane Irene event was not a new situation...sounds like Rumfords wonderful selectmen are as per usual...throwing the blame around.
What is the point of a protection order? Why was this guy allowed out of jail knowing how dangerous he was??? Our judicial system is never on the side of the victims of domestic abuse. Three innocent people are now dead because this lunatic was let out of prison. Like he'd never get his hands on another gun while he was out of jail...Did they think telling him he couldn't possess one would work?? When will the judicial system take some responsibility for these deaths? They allow them to happen over and over again.
Wow..left the car in neutral..no e-brake on......the cost of retrieving the car is at least going to equal the loss of the vehicle! I can't imagine getting any money from the insurance company for this! The e-brake is there for a reason,dude!
Though I have no sympathy for Mr.Millet,this situation still means that the guards at the state prison were not doing their jobs. If we,the taxpayers are paying them to do a job, then I expect them to do it,even if it means protecting prisoners. Now,my tax dollars are paying for medical/hospital care of a prisoner.
If the owner is keeping the dog tied up,on her own property...then a rotten little kid goes over and wacks the dog with a book.........why is she being summonsed???? Whether the dog is a pitbull or not, the dog was provoked!!! Any type of dog would have reacted the same way!! She should not have had to give up her dog. She was doing what she should do, maybe someone should summons the kids mother for endangering the welfare of her child???
Wow..what is wrong with people? To actually gather around an area that they heard gunshots from!?! People are so desperate for entertainment...they put their lives in danger. Simply crazy!!
Wow....it's nice to see such loving posts!! Thank goodness not all people are as heartless as you folks!! Some folks cared enough to care for the injured goose that was injured by other heartless people!! There will be many people, myself for one, that will be heartbroken if in fact, Henry is gone for good!!
LePage is an embarrassment to Maine...period...and even worse so because he is now our
Governor!! How often to you hear on National News that a soon to be elected Gov. will tell our President to "go to H..." Now..... we hit the news because LePage tells the NAACP to "kiss my butt"....wow....that's very mature of you...Governor!! Very impressive! This is no breath of fresh air for Maine....it's embarrassing, plain and simple. He is supposed to be working for the people, the Govt., setting an example........WE are paying this blow hard......and he is acting like a school yard bully!! Your son is "Jamaican", LePage!! He's not just "black"...and did you adopt him? I didn't see anywhere that he has your last name? Don't use him as a way to claim you are not racist in any way. Give the young man some dignity...and why must you drag him into your embarrassing actions anyways?
It's all fine and good if he doesn't want to attend the NAACP event....but to publicly tell them to "Kiss my butt!!"...pleaseeeeeeeeee!!! I don't think I have ever been more embarrassed to be a Mainer!! Every state in the USA must be having a good laugh about us now....great job Govenor! Very impressive....you're supposed to be a role model...running our state........geesh!!
Whether someone is a Republican,Democrat,Indepedant...whatever....it doesn't matter!! That isn't the reason someone picks up a gun and shoots people!! Every article I have read about this tragic event blames it on a left wing,right wing, no wing...what it all boils down to is this guy is obviously missing a few screws, didn't like the congress woman for his own wacko reasons, and he went off the deep end. We can't blame this tragedy on Sarah Palin...her stupidity didn't cause this. I strongly feel that the fact that she put the crosshairs and remarks for public view was the most idiotic thing a public figure wanting to work for our country could have done! Putting a crosshair picture alone does promote violence!
@Kevin....I really don't think the Librarian or The Board of Trustees would make such drastic cuts without there being budget cuts. Having the Library open is an important necessity to area students. If I were one of Rumford's tax payers, I would be livid knowing my tax dollars were going to Black Mountain. The town of Rumford would not fall apart if this ski area were to close as they cried they would without the money. The tax payers should not have had to give them any money. Black Mt. should have planned better when they did their little face lift. And where is the "critical circumstance"? Black Mountain does nothing for the town of Rumford. They have taken advantage of the taxpayers, used money that could have gone for real "critical circumstances". Rumford needs to get those "yahoo" selectmen out of office as well.
Thank you for serving our country, Buddy. My heart goes out to Chelsea,Owen and Buddy's parents and in-laws. This is a very tragic loss and I am so sorry for you. Buddy is a true hero and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us all. God Bless you Buddy! May you R.I.P.
Geesh...why didn't I think of posting a cool picture like that on my Facebook page? What a jerk this kid is!! I highly doubt this kid will grow into anyone productive. Anyone that starts out as he has, especially a kid that will assault his own grandmother...certainly doesn't show much promise! He needs to be behind bars, for a VERY long time. My guess, though, is he'll maybe get a couple years and will be out on probation....committing more burgluries,assaulting more relatives, etc. This kid is dangerous, period!!!
Do you think it's that easy Jo? Suffering from mental illness is a serious and very difficult thing. You can't just get off your meds and "reclaim your life". Medication helps to level out your moods so that you can somewhat function on a normal basis. I feel for these patients that Tri-county has dropped because Primary Care doctors don't know how to manage psychiatric medication.

I can not count the times I have been cut off and/or almost driven into by a Somalian. driver. They do not know how to drive! On the few occassions I have had to drive down Lisbon street, each time, I have almost been hit by a Somolian driver cutting me off. No I am not singling these people out, I am stating a FACT!! And as Kaos stated....there is ALWAYS a cell phone to their ear!
Hey, I'm Alma's BFF and we text all the time! ;-) Seriously.... I agree....after a certain age, drivers should be tested at least every 18 months. I happened to be at the motor vehicle dept to register my vehicle the other day. This very elderly man was with an instructor to be tested again....well the very elderly man couldn't even park his car straight, nor without taking just one parking space! He was taking baby steps, which tells me his reflexes are not good.

@jeffyd....ummm...did you ever stop to think that people driving slow might just be driving cautiously? Unless you slowed down while "passing" them and checked their tires, how do you know their tires are bald? I'm one of those drivers that slows down when the road conditions are bad. My tires are far from bald and I have several idiots that fly by me, obviously in a hurry, so I guess they didn't give themselves that much time for bad weather.
@ Angelx34......have you ever been sexually abused? Do you know how scared these girls are/were? How horribly sad that you, an adult, can't even be depended on to support an innocent child because you happened to "go to church" with this man. Priests teach the word of God.....they molest children. Ministers have killed their own wives...... would you insist they were all innocent? I highly doubt even if this had gone to a jury trial, this PEDOPHILE would have been found innocent. It's due to people like you that children that are abused are too afraid to speak out against sexual abuse. You should be ashamed of yourself!
This guy has certainly pulled a fast one on his supporters! They are all fools and I can't get over how blinded (and I'm being polite) they are. They support him because he has such musical talent, they feel he's naive?, they feel a 29yr old man was tricked into confessing? Wow.........not sure who needs the psychiatric help here....and I'm not sure I would want these other teachers dealing with my kids either. What if another teacher starts "accidently" touching other children? These teachers won't believe those students either! Kinda scary isn't it? Our children should be safe in school when we can't be there to keep them safe, now we can't even count on the teachers!!! This man is sick, a pedophile, he likes pornography, touching little girls..etc. Send him away where he belongs! As for his supporters...GET THE HELP YOU ALL NEED!!

A written warning and a civil penalty of $100? Why not just give him detention? This is ludicrous!! Anyone else would have been thrown in Federal Prison for years!!!

You can't just set your place on fire and call it good! :-\ It would be against the law because he had no fire permit for one! If the police arrested him obviously it's against the law to just torch your own home. That appears to be a new home and as others have stated, I highly doubt a 23 yr old paid cash for it. I don't think the mortgage company is really going to appreciate the fact that he tried to burn it down. As for fatandhappy calling candiceanne dumb....he/she didn't....they just stated that her comment was. Besides....in the past.....I have seen some VERY NASTY comments come from candiceanne, so someone saying her comment was dumb is mild.

I can't count the times I have almost been hit by speeding logging trucks that run red lights at the end of congress street. I now pull out slowly when I have a green light to be sure no trucks are coming. These logging and other 18 wheelers drive too fast through that area! It's frightening even coming down Falls Hill if you need to make a left turn either on to Spruce St. or into Food Trend with an 18 wheeler behind you. You simply pray they'll stop not hit you. They need to get rid of the "I'm bigger then you" attitude.

Ferland is a loser and should lose his job! If this is how he reacts because the woman complained about the care of the cemetary, the man has some serious issues!! What makes her a "difficult woman" because she complained? I have seen how so many cemetaries are cared for and it's an insult to the resting souls that lie in them! Lawns are unkept, trash is lying throughout as well as dead branches. Families are paying for the upkeep of their loved ones graves! How do any of you know that Ferland is doing his job as perfectly as he claims? If he acts so childish because someone is complaining, I wouldn't expect his work to be very professional either. What he did to her husbands grave is against the law!! He took trash and left it on his stone, with a childish nasty note!! The police could have done something and so should his employers! This alleged letter is no longer the issue! Ferland is a childish moron!
If an animal had dug up the skull...there would be evidence at one of the grave sites...correct? I would think they would do a bit more of an investigation to be 100% sure where this skull came from. And to just re-bury it? Find out whom it belongs to for goodness sakes!!
Politics are dirty......period!! It's so hard to know who to trust when it comes to voting time. I don't care if Joe schmoe smoked a joint 20 yrs ago.....that doesn't make he/she incapable of making a logical decision now!! It also doesn't make he/she any less of an intelligent human being! But the fact that Mr. LePage lost his cool and stormed off was not impressive. Yes.....it has got to be frustrating with all these stupid questions, BUT, if he wants to run our State, then he needs to have all the patience and tolerance in the world! If he's in the midst of a big meeting and loses his cool, will it be okay to just "walk out" of the meeting because it upset him? Will it be okay if he gets angry and voices his anger? Being human nature won't be acceptable once you're Govenor! Unless he's hiding something, he should be able to just answer the questions and move on. He seems to want to simply avoid the answers.
Not saying the Pledge is not about disrespect? Oh really? Those of us that don't want the Mosque near Ground zero are told we're being unfair and not respecting the Muslim religion........but we can't even Pledge our own flag, or speak our Savior's name publicly anymore because it might offend someone? I can't even write HIS name here because my post won't be pusblished..........but we're not disrespecting anyone? I don't EVER recall pledging the flag every day in school with anyone crying out that they were offended. This is America...and if you come to America....then you chose to live in OUR land and respect OUR way of life! We're the ones the should be offended by how you have come and forced us to change our ways of living!
Pet owners really need to step up and be responsible!! I have read too many articles this summer about places having to ban pets from being allowed because they're owners can't be responsible enough to clean up after them! It takes all of a couple minutes to scoop the poop and put it in a bag!
Why would anyone smile when they have their mug shot taken? This just blows my mind. He was arrested for arson and burglary, not just stealing a pack of cigarettes! What a dork!! Let's see how big that smile is when he gets his sentence read to him.
I personally know of Americans who have worked very hard all their life and have been turned down for loans to start their own business! These people have excellent credit, excellent work history, etc. But Somalians can come right in and open up businesses!. Its not even safe to drive down Lewiston streets anymore because I can't tell you how many times I have been cut off by a somalian driver! Too many hard working americans are out there struggling to make ends meet and I see these people with literally, wads of cash in their hands, gold jewelery, brand new vehicles. And some of you say whose business is it where they get their cash? Well excuse me.......but I am a tax paying American and if that money comes from my taxes......it is my damn business!!!
Before anyone jumps on my post and my forgiving Billie......one of the damaged headstones belongs to a family member of mine. You can all say and feel as you wish....but Billie's courage to step forward and publicly apologize shows character.
Billie.....your apology was wonderful. Please don't take to heart those that will comment that your apology was nice and then throw in a nasty comment with it. When we're young, we all get drunk and do stupid things. It's all part of growing up. But you are the first one I have seen in many,many years, that has made a public apology, accepted your guilt and responsibility and admitted you screwed up. It's not easy to fess up to something as touchy as cemetary vandalism.....so I am doubly impressed with you! Use this mistake as a big lesson.......alcohol can help you do a lot of bad things. I forgive you, Billie!
One thing that draws me to them and it will really sound silly, but they make me think of Santa's reindeer. So I guess you could say it brings out the child in me! It warms the heart to stop and pat them and it just seems to bring a sense of peace to me. I'm so happy he's going to be keeping some of them. Thank you, Mr. Storman.
The ski area is privately owned and always begging for money. Maybe they should have thought things through a little more when they renovated. Guess they spent too much money? It's not up to the town to keep handing them money and for someone to threaten that they'll have to close down if they can't get the money is pathetic. They do very little for the Rumford people, accept take their money.

Don't these idiots realize that the cops already know who they are? Running away will only cause more problems ( if they survive). What is going on with people? This year seems to be the year for people attempting to elude and none of them have lived and now they're killing others. Hellooooo.......deal with the cops people, it will save your life! This is so very sad! Some poor Mom has to bury her 14 yr old son. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. People need to smarten up, especially with kids in the car.
To "flowers7".....do you realize that you could be that one person that could "step in and help him" ? The more people that report this young mans problematic home life to the state, the better. I knew of a child that was being abused by his mother. One person reported it. The state checked it out......nothing. But as soon as others stepped in and made phone calls and reports to the state, action was taken. Reports can be made to the state, anonymously. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child.
I agree that since this kid keeps feeling the need to take off....something needs to be done. Is there abuse going on at the home? Is he being a rebellious teen that just doesn't want to follow the house rules? Come on now....three strikes you're out!! If there's abuse, remove the kid. If he's being rebellious, slap him into a detention hall and make him follow rules that'll really tick him off! All this time being wasted looking for him, they could be searching for a child that is in danger!
This is the most childish thing I have ever heard! License a golf cart? And the transportation systems wants the kids "change"? What is this world coming to? Here's my suggestion to the kid....do like they do in China! Make a taxi out of a three wheeled peddle bike! No motor on that........ no need to license!!

The biker may have revved his bike to alert the driver of the car? Well that's a new one! Isn't that what the horn is for? It isn't always the car/driver that is at fault when a motorcyclist is killed. And you most certainly can tell by sound if a motorcycle is going fast! Knowing the area of this KFC, the woman most likely didn't see this guy coming when she backed out. This area is like the Indy 500, with cars and bikers alike flying through here. Everyone is so quick to blame the car/driver when this kind of accident happens. Can't be the motorcyclist was actually going too fast and came out of no where. Then we have the acrobat on his Harley in Bridgeton. His stupidity leaves some heartbroken people behind.

I can't believe all the heartless people that refused to spare a few minutes to help an animal that had been up this tree for so long! Especially Animal Control. God forbid anyone could lend a heartfelt few minutes of their time! Thank God for PETA!
If this dog has already been considered a dangerous dog, why was it not put down in 2007? Wouldn't you think the idiot owner would at least have the brains to keep the dog restrained or penned or something? This angers me beyond words! The dog already attacked a human...then Vining says he can't explain why the dog attached the Terrier......BECAUSE HE'S DANGEROUS....that's why you loser! The dog needs to be put down this time. A family has lost a very precious pet. Three children had to witness this horrible action, one they won't soon forget. This dog was also Mrs. Miller's therapy dog.....this will do quite a number on her. My thoughts are certainly with this family.
Well, Saint candiceanne, I am certainly glad you were not my mother. You may THINK you understand disorders, but apparently you do not. And this child is 7 years old!!! He does not have the skills to know how to control himself!!! What he has is an ILLNESS! Don't you think they might just teach them at Brandon how to deal with this and control it? ....get a clue for goodness sakes! Ahhhhh, if only I were as perfect as you.
It's wonderful that they have a place like Brandon to help these kids, but why do they have to make it so hard for parents to be able to get their kids there by charging $410 a DAY? Even parents that make good money would have to scrimp and save for that. I know that in the end, it's worth it, but my goodness, people are desperate when they send their kids there, make it more accessable! My best wishes to Raequann, believe in yourself, young man and you will get better! How scary it must be for such a little boy to realize, that young, he has such a serious problem. On the other hand, how wonderful for a little boy to know it is a problem. Good luck, Raequann!!! You can do it!!!
Let's not insult homosexuals by bringing tron into it. Tron is a moron.....plain and simple. If he had read your post correctly, ajg1959, he would understand you weren't sticking up for the guy. And I am sorry about your cousin. I believe this guy did all this to the girl and she is just too scared to testify. He's a sick pig...plain and simple.

Well let us see how well Mr. Vicious does when he is behind bars with the big boys. Once they find out he murdered a little boy....his days will be numbered. And Tron......no one is responsible for this guys actions but himself!!! You can blame his behavior on the TV shows he watches, the books he reads, the games he plays, the people he hangs with....but it all boils down to what HE chooses to do. Ormsby is nothing but a coward and a loser. No one that can kill an 11 yr old boy can even be classified as a human being.
Service animals can not be banned as they are being used for a purpose and it would be illegal for the park to ban them. People that use them are disabled. If people would learn to pick up after their dogs and also keep them leashed and "controlled" this park would not have to ban them!! People bring dogs that they can't even control while on a leash and these dogs cause fear and mayhem! Why would anyone want to walk the trails and have to fear for not only their well being but their own dogs? I clean up after my dog in my own yard. I don't want to step on dog poop here and I don't expect to have to step on it on a public trail. I have seen people walk their dogs in cemetaries and not clean up after them!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
I remember your preachings from the Gay marriage issues, dear Madeleine. This is about EQUAL RIGHTS!!! You made it well know with the gay marriage issue that you hate homosexuals, so I am sure you have put Brianna in that category. Child molesters have dressed as priests....I don't see you mentioning that along with your concern of them dressing as women. People fear what they don't understand...and the sad thing is....there is nothing to fear. You tell Brianna to get over herself.....well I feel, too...that you need to get yourself off your judging throne and judge only yourself. If God feels that Brianna or anyone else for that matter, is doing anything he finds offensive, it's for him to judge, not you!!!!! Last I knew...the God I love and worship, was all about love and acceptance.
She couldn't see the headlight of the motorcycle coming before she turned in front of him? There was no excuse for not seeing him coming! People need to pay attention and realize that motorcylces can't stop on a dime!
Here we have it.......all you holier then thou people that sit in your thrones and judge people because you label them as different. If Brianna is using a woman's bathroom, no other female will know Bri has a penis unless the woman goes into the stall with her! Brianna is not in there because she's a pervert trying to get a sneak peek, so what harm is being done? She will not flash a young child nor will a young child even know that Bri is a man! It is so nice to know that there are those of you out there that are so perfect that you can judge others. Do you people walk on water as well? Brianna should be able to live her life in peace. She is hurting NO ONE!
The reason there are no "civilian panels" , Tron, is because cop haters like you would have every single one of them behind bars. I saw your comments about the Bates College incidents. I've seen your cop hating comments on other police related articles. Your kind of attitude is why there is not "civilian panel". In this case, yes....the officer or FORMER officer was drinking. But I hate to bust your plastic bubble, but not all police officers are bad. Now you go ahead and attack my comment like you do everyone elses that doesn't agree with you.
This woman got just 30 days for stealing $25,000 from her own mother...and to use for drugs at that? I am more and more amazed with our judicial system as time goes by. I realize jails are full and we can't afford to house these low lives...but something has to be done to show these people that what they do is not going to be tolerated! This woman should be made to go through house arrest for way more then 30 freakin days...she's the scum of the earth! Anyone that can rob their own flesh and blood is trash!
These college kids throw a drunken party....get out of control to the point several police depts are needed....then they start boo hooing that the big bad cop picked on them? Please!!! I saw broken bottles all over the news report...stupid acting drunk students, it was very plain to see what the cops had to deal with. Grow up kids!!! A few laws were broken that night, face reality like the rest of the world!
How impressive to see those college students all drunked up,bloodied up and looking stupid! Will they be our next congressmen? Lawyers? Teachers? Wonder what they were there studying? Their names should be in the paper, the parents should be paying for all this as well as the costs of the injured policeman. Yes, all college students drink and have fun.......but to get this out of control? Please.............
Why is it every single time something like this happens, or an officer has to shoot someone, it's the cops fault..or as Tron said...a republicans? It was Witham that didn't stop for the officer, so at this point, not only did he have outstanding warrants, he was eluding the officer. I sincerely hope the Mom and her baby are okay. The officers are well trained and do know when to stop a pursuit.
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Tracy and Lisa.....I'm really sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

The whole point of driving behind someone is to always expect the unexpected!! Apparently she was following a tad too close to the bus and just not paying attention! Typical! She was probably on her phone or prettying up her hair in the mirror! I have had more close calls with being rear ended by young girls then young boys...and all have been by girls playing on the phone, applying make up or just goofing around! Grow up and take driving seriously!
What ever happened to just getting a divorce? This is just so so sad. A woman's life has been taken, two boys have lost their Mom. I just don't get it.
What is wrong with these people that defend him? He has already admitted that he gets his jollies from touching little girls!! And my dear sweet Ms.Roman....you never truely know someone and unless you followed this child molesting slime around...you have no idea what he does with those children. Child molesters are able to turn on the charm and be one person one minute and the next, they are visibly evil. I've been molested....I'm sure this idiot is upbeat........I'm curious to see what his punishment will be.
Tell me why male volunteer drivers are driving female clients to their appointments? This is not the first time women have been attacked. It happened a few years back in Augusta, I believe it was. Women should drive female clients and in all actuallity, they should drive young boy clients too. This world has become so unsafe for children now. Male drivers should only be able to drive certain age males. I know I am going to get jumped on for making this statement..but before you jump...think about it. S0 many children, 17 and under are being assaulted sexually. Look at that boys at the park recently who was touched by the Community Concepts guy. Women are raped left and right. Yes..there are a handful of women that are molesters as well....but it is a handful.
I think once the little brats get done cleaning up their mess in the school, they should be made to do some supervised community service. They should be treated no different then a teenager that has done the same type of crime. They apparently lack supervision since they were able to be gone long enough to make a mess through out the entire school, so it makes me wonder what type of punishment they will actually get at home.
Why did the guy unlock his door in the first place? Doesn't he ask who is at his door first? It doesn't state in this article if he knew Ryerson or not. It just blows my mind that Ryerson chokes the guy and threatens to kill him, and is now out walking the streets. What if he goes back and now actually kills the guy? Does the bailiff say "oops!"
I think, too, that the daughter should have thought over her decision to bring this book up to her father. If he had never mentioned this to the family, there was obviously a reason. BUT, the one good thing that comes from this book is that it does explain that the children were put there for the wrong reasons and it tells what really went on there. I'm sorry, Mr. Zupokfska, for the pain and suffering you endured.
Oh please.......what other reason would he be looking at pictures of nude children for besides sexual gratification? And it's illegal..plain and simple!!! How can anyone get on that stand and defend him? I can not even imagine putting my reputation on the line for him. His musical talents means crap! He's a pedophile..........everyone always wants to doubt the childrens words........this is why children are so afraid to speak up. Do you doubting adults know what it's like to be abused and then be called a liar when you are finally brave enough to speak out?
I agree with "seacat7up".....when you rent a place...problems can't always be seen right off. I speak from experience after renting a mobile home from hell rented from a horrible landlord. What looked like a wonderful mobile home turned into a nightmare. Electrical troubles, leaking roof, heating problems, rotting floor that had been covered up..........etc. Getting the landlord to do anything was a joke. It always seems like once they have you in and the rent is paid.....you're on your own.
The punishment for these slime balls need to be so much more then a slap on the hand. A few months in jail doesn't cut it. Everyone keeps screaming castration, but that doesn't affect what you all think it does. Once a pedophile, always a pedohile. The consequences for their actions needs to be alot tougher. This guy is sick and dangerous.
Never fails...there is always someone to post a negative when there is an accident on here! Can't be...Marooned...that she was following the speed limit and the animal ran in front of her!!! Geesh!! First...thank God she's okay and thank God Mr. Chambers and Mr.Seekins were her Angels there to help.
Pay attention you jerk!! The driver was killed!!! She was a mother of two small children and she died, so you don't have to listen to her excuse! Now learn to read!
It states this woman is a UMF student....is she walking around town topless because she isn't allowed in class this way? Has she made her point on campus and in her classes as well? I'm curious as to whether she has been banned from doing this on campus because it's not allowed and this is why she is walking downtown. Personally, there are much more important causes to be fighting in this world then whether I can hang my bare hooties to the world or not.
The creep handed the flash drive to the officer, this pretty much means he gave them his permission to see what was on it! They didn't tear it out of his hands or anything "he handed it to them". These jerks get caught....then try to turn things around and blame the law for mistreating them. It makes me sick!
He has lost some weight, dlaurels, his major problem is a 200 pound mass that has grown from his stomach. It needs to be removed. This has nothing to do with eatting himself to death. His former doctor should have referred him to someone who could have removed that mass if he couldn't...not tell the guy to find his own doctor!
Birdwatcher....wth? You're beyond pathetic!! How about some compassion for the family? Suicide is such a difficult thing for people to deal with! Those left behind always blame themselves and they don't need idiots like you adding salt to the wounds! My heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends. Please don't blame yourself for this......you don't see it now, but you did all you could to help him. God bless you all!
I can't believe all the hoopla about the location of the accident when someone has lost their life! You people are really pathetic! And you wingnut56 are beyond pathetic with your sick sense of humor! God bless this poor man and his family!!
I have no idea what goes on behind the walls of this motor cycle club....and it's none of my business. I will say that one afternoon a couple years ago, a friend and I stopped to help one of the bikers whose car was broke down and he was nothing but nice and grateful to us! I hope Bert is up and riding soon!
These dogs should be outlawed..period!!! I know someone will jump on me for this statement...but that's fine. I have read so many stories about pitbulls attacking and mauling people, it's crazy.
What a pathetic piece of crap!! If you "accidently" shoot someone, especially your spouse...you don't dump their body somewhere.. What a jerk this loser is! Rot in hell Dapolito!
Once someone commits a sex offense and has to be registered as a sex offender, they should FOREVER have to register!! Smart is a prime example that sex offenders never change! To actually know that our judicial system felt sorry for these offenders because they had to continue to register long after the offense! How would you like to be a victim, Baldacci, and suffer long after the offense?! And then to know Smart lives with his two young daughters as well? That is very scarey!
This self proclaimed whatever may be out to preotect himself, but he can't guarentee some innocent person won't be the recipient of his bullet. I suffer from chronic pain and am disabled, but I would not look to him for counseling. Yes, he may understand to a point, but he has dubbed himself too many things.
Has anyone ever heard of walk away when you get that angry? Tomorrow they'll be back together and all fine...unless just maybe this guy will have some smarts.
A very nice article and congratulations! I look at my first two bad relationships as training for the "right one". You learn from them what you want and don't want from a relationship. Christopher will be right there with you with your MS, Dawn....thats what true love is all about! Have a beautiful life together!!
I'm with Carolyn. Why do people get pets ,then stick them outside? And northwoods, pets are domesticated animals and no longer raised to live in the outdoors like wild animals ( or your mother in law) so there is a difference. Don't get pets if you're going to just stick them outside...what's the point? They'll freeze in the winter or die of heat stroke in the summer... cruelty to animals.
I'm with Bob67.......sounds like this woman makes a living doing this kinda thing. How ironic she has had these sort of lawsuits in the past. How many people is she going to sue over this puck incident? She already sued the school's insurance carrier, now she's suing the city. Next she'll sue the company that the materials came from...then on and on.
She's a con artist.........someone needs to wake up here!
What a bunch of losers! What does this prove? Cutting someone's christmas lights. Does it make this punk or punks feel cool? This place always looks so pretty..why does someone feel the need to destroy these folks property?
tron....did your folks have any children that lived? I hate to bust your fantasy bubble but cops don't make $50,000 a year. And did you read the entire article and this womans record? I have no doubt she pushed the cops to the point of them having to shoot her! You never ever have anything positive to say.
I agree with everyone...he's no different from any of us. Being famous and rich doesn't make him perfect. BUT...why is it when these famous and rich folks are unfaithful...they all come up with the same line..." I'm not perfect". Since no one really is perfect...does this make it okay for us all to cheat on our other halves? I don't see why it must always make headlines when these people cheat...because they all do it. They're money and power goes to their heads...(apparently not just the head on top of their shoulders) But find another excuse then you aren't perfect. Just admit you're a piece of crap!
I would never even consider going to Quality Homes after this. This is so far from professional behavior...I'd be too embarrassed to have their sign on my front lawn! I'd be too afraid of being threatened or assaulted!!
I can't believe the defense attorney feels they should consider the fathers state of mind at the time of the shooting. If they did this every time someone killed someone...no one would be convicted! He killed his son in cold blood for goodness sakes! Regardless of the fact that his son molested the 3 yr old...cold blooded murder was wrong!! My dear God!!! What is this world coming to? This man belongs in prison.....plain and simple!!!
Gardner keeps stating they're all adults......but they're freaking actions far from prove that!! And all this over some bum guy who is playing the both of you? Grow up! All three of you!!
queenhoneybee......a sex offender is a sex offender.. whether they offend one or many times. I'm a survivor too and am really blown away and insulted that you can sit there and defend sex offenders and claim they each have their own story. you can sit there and preach your holier then thou speech to everyone, but your sex offender defense is an insult to other victims and survivors.
queenhoneybee, I too am a survivor, but I have no compassion for child molester or
any other one. This guy had a nerve to ask the SJ not to mention he was a pedophile and that he wasn't a pervert. Well you know what buddy... you are a pervert!!! You sexually assaulted a child!! Whether you did it once or ten times, you're a child molester! this guy claims he can't work due to back problems but he can stand and beg for money hours on end every day? He should be chased out of Auburn too! he's a distraction for one. how do all of that give him money even know what he uses it for?
I think he should be sentenced to spend a year in the pit of a MENS only outhouse!! This man is definately not all there! He can't be aware of all the dangers he faces of disease sitting in that pit. Since he is so fond of standing in poopy do.....give him a full time job cleaning it!
well biker....... I hope you no longer live in maine. wouldn't want you to be embarrassed by what you feel has turned into such a horrible place!! maine doesn't need any more predjudism and haters then it all ready has!! you people sit on your self proclaimed thrones and judge others.......look at yourself and worry about what affects YOU!!! If two men or two women get married, it doesn't affect you or your life at all!!
momof4...........I pray to God that none of your children ever have to tell you that they are gay or struggling with some other sexual related issue. I have read so many of your comments on here and you are so closed minded and hateful!! I would feel so sad for your kids if one of them had to tell YOU they were gay. That would be worth then the trip to hell you'd tell them they were destined for.
Good for you,Larry! That's determination! There are just too many alternatives these days for people to use " I have no vehicle " as an excuse not to work.
As someone that considered The Sportsman as a safe place to be myself and enjoy being me, it is too bad that this place is closing. Roland did a wonderful job with the Sportsman and we all thank him so much for all he did for the gay community. I hope he's enjoying his retirement.
To Former.......have you been back to the area lately? Not sure what they think the blue ox is going to draw business to on the island since most places have shut down. Spending almost $7000 on this statue was crazy. Yes, it does cost money to make money...but let's be realistic....this was a stupid way to spend money. Since you no longer live in Maine nor live in the town and pay the outrageous Rumford taxes...you have no right to sit there and call them a bunch of whiners.

dr. dosh...Rumford has many wonderful people residing there. Every town has it's share of scum, so do not single out this town as being a "horror story". I would like to know what town you're from, I'm sure they must be real proud to have you there! I too, question why this girls mom waited so long to report this incident to the police,but then maybe the girl didn't tell her right away. I also question why Erskine's pic isn't posted along with this story. I'm sure the officer has been well trained in handling rape victims and when he said she wasn't "injured" he probably meant physically. In his training, he knows the psychological scarring this girl will endure. My heart goes out to her.
To auburnnn ......its sad that you feel just because he never made advances towards you that you feel he is innocent and such a harmless man. Pedophiles don't touch every child they come in contact with, so if this is what you base your thoughts on, you are dead wrong. Though you may feel this guy isn't a scarey sex fiend....he's a sick man that is doing a lot of horrible damage to young girls. I was close friends with a guy and thought the world of him. We worked together as well. One day the cops came in and arrested him for child pornography. I thought I "knew" him too...and until then...thought he was a wonderful family man.
Keep giving these pedophiles such light sentences so they can come right back out into society and attack more children! If they don't keep Raymond locked away, he's going to hurt so many little girls..... and speaking from my own childhood, it stays with us forever. I will always carry part of that "hurt little girl" inside me. So the law needs to stop Raymond and keep in behind bars. I am so tired of reading how these offenders keep re-offending.
Can people no longer function without these phones glued to their hands and ears? I have had many close calls on the road by people that almost hit me because they're on the phone! Even when I'm shopping, I've been nailed by grocery carts by people just yacking away! I have a cell phone as well as a blue tooth. If someone calls me while I'm on the road and even shopping, I stop, get out of the way and finish my conversation. But I am not glued to this phone and refuse to be. There is life beyond that phone people!! And it is a much safer one!!
I honestly feel that Samson got away with murder due to lack on evidence..I still am very disappointed that they have "closed the case". I feel they should have done more investigating, looking at other possibilities and other possible suspects.
If she had done everything she was supposed to do when pulling out into traffic, Mr. Lorthrup would not be dead now. Yup..poor girl has to live with this the rest of her life. Mr. Lorthrups family has to live "without" him for the rest of their lives.
MeinMaine..you are saying that you are APPALLED at some of our reactions...well let me say yours sounds pretty heartless. This "accident" had nothing to do with Mr. Lorthrup not wearing a helmet nor seeing the truck in time to react. Mr. Lorthrup was already on the highway, he was not at fault in any way. And because things are so hectic at the speedway, one takes extra precaution to make sure it's safe to pull out. Someone's life was lost for goodness sakes.....and you want us to feel sorry for the poor little 17 year old girl that "didn't see him"? A man is dead for goodness sakes. When you get your drivers license, you take on a HUGE responsibility. You not only take on responsibility of your life on the road, but EVERYONE elses. No, this was not intentional...but that's what the word "manslaughter" stands for. That 17 yr old took on a responsibility when she got behind the wheel, just like you or I do when we get in our car to drive. If I pull out of my driveway and hit a car, you are damn tootin it's going to be "my fault". The cops not gonna buy my saying "oops...didn't see him coming". A man died as a result of this "accident".......too bad if this poor 17 yr old has to live with it. As I said, at least she gets to live......
Yes, I have heard of the word "Accident". I myself have been involved in one when a woman pulled from a stop sign claiming she didn't see me and I was in a bigger vehicle then she! I do not care how old this driver was that was pulling from the speedway. If she's old enough to have her license, then she should be old enough to handle ALL responsibilities that come with it. No, she didn't get up that day with the intentions of causing an accident that day,let alone taking a life, but when you are behind the wheel, you have alot of responsibilities. You watch for EVERYTHING, from vehicles,to pedestrians, kids on bikes to MOTORCYCLES. I'm a biker, and this man and the size of his bike would have been enough to be seen if she was paying enough attention. Yes, I feel sorry for the girl too, BUT, what about Mr. Lorthrup, he died, and he has a family that is now suffering a horrible loss. This girl needs to pay the consequences like anyone else. She may have to live with this the rest of her life, but at least she lives. Mr. Lorthrup no longer does.
I certainly hope they do file some charges against this girl. She caused this now fatal accident. Mr. Lorthrop knew to lay down his bike to avoid collision, but sadly, it did him no good. This girl needs to face the consequences of her actions.
Regardless of which will explode quicker, thank God the fuel didn't because everyone would have died. God Bless Mr.Jackson and his family. What a horrible accident and by looking at his car....even though we all know his death was quick, there is no way he didn't suffer pain and fear. I see, every day, people drifting over that yellow line for some reason or another, and this includes the truckers. I live on the Canton Point Rd. I can't tell you the close calls I've had with the logging trucks that come around the corners on MY side of the road. I can not imagine the fear Mr. Jackson felt at that very moment he knew what was doing to happen. I have been in an accident involving a tractor trailer, and your life does pass before your eyes. The fear is beyond words. God Bless him, may he RIP.
Well greatgramgrover, do you need a hug this morning or something? These folks are far from "stupid" for one. Just because you think it's "hogwash and ridiculous" doesn't mean the rest of the world does. So much could be learned from what they are doing, and it's too bad this had to be stopped. Maybe if you did a little reading up on this "hogwash" you would understand it a little more. Now go take your nice pill this morning.

I bet all of her children are extremely proud that their Mama made it into the SJ. It would be nice if this "woman" would find it extremely embarrassing that her picture is in the paper..but if she doesn't find it embarrassing the way she presents herself in public, I highly doubt having her picture in the paper will do anything either. She definately isn't a pretty picture....to say the least.....like someone said....dress for your age.....heck...just cover up lady!
First....thank you to Sun Journal for doing this follow up article...great job! Not that any murder makes any sense, period.....but the motive for this one really doesn't make sense. If Moulton was the one with the issue against Sheldon, then why didn't he kill Sheldon? And for both killers being on the honor roll.....they sure didn't use any brains when they planned this murder. Moulton hung out in the bathroom....Hamel runs out into the public where he can be seen and identified....Moulton then describes him to a T to police. And I do find it hard to believe that Sheldon's estranged wife aka Moultons girlfriend, had no idea that this murder was being planned, just my thoughts on this. The gal obviously has poor choices in men all the way around. My sympathy goes out to the families left to deal with this tragedy.
I do not know this young man, but will say that to those of you who thought the sketch of the suspect was so bad.....I think it looks pretty close. And again, I do not know this young man, but I will say how very sad that he, an honor roll student, chose to throw his entire future away this past Monday night. I can not imagine what drove him to take the lives of the two men, which in turn, affected so many other innocent people, children (unborn as well).
I can't even express the anger I feel that this stupid pathetic guy will walk away from this as if nothing happened. And there is a family mourning the loss of a loved one. Our pathetic District attorney won't press charges, which is an insult to the family and the deceased. This is wrong.....this is just so horribly wrong.
No charges have been filed? He killed a woman for God's sakes! And don't tell me he didn't know he hit her! He has all these driving offenses, which obiviously haven't slowed him down, literally. And they aren't going to charge him with anything when he killed a woman? Wow...this states judicial system just keeps on going to hell. Why do the cops bother to write any more tickets? What good does it do?

Geesh Bo, your daughter must be so proud of you. I hope you really didn't think you had us all fooled with that pathetic newspaper article claiming you had turned your life around. You are no more bipolar then my dog is. Once again, you were stealing money from the govt and from someone that really needs it! I certainly hope that this time, you do all the time you have coming to you. Think about your daughter for once!! She deserves a better father!
People will never take Rt.#4 seriously, not even after all the horrible fatal accidents that have occurred there. If this kid claims he didn't see this woman, he should be ashamed of himself! She would have been out in plain view to him! There is no way he couldn't have seen her. Then to not even mention it when the police arrived? How horribly heartless! My thoughts and prayers to her family.
Unknowingly hit her? That's a load of crap! The tire tracks go right across the lawn. If she was walking there, IN PLAIN VIEW...there is no way they didn't see her. And just how did the driver lose control of his car? Driving too fast?
This is just so sad. No one ever seems to learn for one, not to get in a car with a drunk driver, and the dumb ass drunk drivers seem to be everywhere! No one ever learns! They are out there, day after day, taking someones life. I read more then not, that they survive the crash, but their passengers don't. And I'll be willing to bet, once Doucette is out of the hospital, he'll be drinking again.
Okay, I've been fighting for disability for two years now, have a genuine illness that really does prevent me from working. This guy breaks the law a zillion times, convinces them he's bipolar and bam....he gets social security! What the hell? And again, no jail time? I just do not get it!!
You know, I am overweight, and we can all sit around and put blame on everything else. But it all boils down to the fact that it's us, the individual, that buys and consumes the foods that make us overweight. I am doing my best,now, to eat as healthy as I can. Yes, the real healthy food is expensive, so I eat less of the food I can afford. It just kills me when I treat myself to a meal out, and see this horribly obese person order the largest portion of the worst food they could order. And this very person is in a wheelchair because they can't walk due to their size. Come on people, America has become lazy. And who's kidding who! We love food! I admit I do! But I have no one to blame but myself for the size of my body. The one thing that does make me laugh is when I go see my doctor....who is far from a sex goddess herself....and she has the nerve to tell me that I am obese! What the hell?
How horrible that anyone can steal from a place that offers charitable help to those in need! They stole from needy families..what a horrible, cruel thing to do!

@ Roger Moulton....No, that's NOT all I took from the above article!
If it was, I would definately be a heartless moron!!! What I took from the article is that two innocent people lost their lives that day due to the fact that a habitual bad driver was allowed to use someones car and be out on the road when he had no license..FOR AN OBVIOUS REASON! Now 2 people are dead....2 families are suffering terribly today and for years to come because of this. I don't even know the victims and I cried when I heard of the terrible accident and deaths. I allow NO ONE to drive my car unless I know they have a valid drivers license and know their driving record. I know if they've been drinking or drugging, etc. Once I had someone my car keys...it's also MY responsibility allowing them on the road if they have no license or they are under the influence. Once MY car is on the road, whether I am driving it or someone else, it's still my responsibility.

They're paychecks don't get smaller, they don't lack in medical care, housing,food on their tables,they don't have to be concerned about the price of gas or if they'll have to worry about heating their home come winter time.
I totally agree with Cathy
I totally agree with Cathy Bryant.....this guy should be used for dog bait.....the guys has no morals whatsoever!!! Thank goodness he's not up for bail! Keep him behind bars where he belongs!!!
What a wonderful example of a
What a wonderful example of a Mom! No wonder this 15 year old is acting as he was! She and her son will end up sharing a jail cell one of these days.
And why isn't there
And why isn't there guardrails or some type of fencing blocking the end of the road???? If the road ends at the waters edge, there should be cement barriers or something.......why wait till this type or horrible tragedy to put something up?? What a horrible death for this poor woman!
John Martin is
John Martin is right.........the flooding that took place near and around his home was nothing new. I lived on the Swain Road for 11 years and remember the countless times the road would flood. I also remember, as he stated....the shovels full of tar that were used to bandaid the problems. I recall several occassions when the road would flood at the intersection of Spruce and Maine. This Hurricane Irene event was not a new situation...sounds like Rumfords wonderful selectmen are as per usual...throwing the blame around.
God bless that poor little
God bless that poor little girl and her family. Keeping all involved in my thoughts and prayers!
What is the point of a
What is the point of a protection order? Why was this guy allowed out of jail knowing how dangerous he was??? Our judicial system is never on the side of the victims of domestic abuse. Three innocent people are now dead because this lunatic was let out of prison. Like he'd never get his hands on another gun while he was out of jail...Did they think telling him he couldn't possess one would work?? When will the judicial system take some responsibility for these deaths? They allow them to happen over and over again.
This is so awesome!! My
This is so awesome!! My first concern if my home were to catch fire would be my pets...they're my life!
Wow..left the car in
Wow..left the car in neutral..no e-brake on......the cost of retrieving the car is at least going to equal the loss of the vehicle! I can't imagine getting any money from the insurance company for this! The e-brake is there for a reason,dude!
Though I have no sympathy for
Though I have no sympathy for Mr.Millet,this situation still means that the guards at the state prison were not doing their jobs. If we,the taxpayers are paying them to do a job, then I expect them to do it,even if it means protecting prisoners. Now,my tax dollars are paying for medical/hospital care of a prisoner.
A prime example of someone
A prime example of someone that should not be allowed around children.......just saying!!
If the owner is keeping the
If the owner is keeping the dog tied up,on her own property...then a rotten little kid goes over and wacks the dog with a book.........why is she being summonsed???? Whether the dog is a pitbull or not, the dog was provoked!!! Any type of dog would have reacted the same way!! She should not have had to give up her dog. She was doing what she should do, maybe someone should summons the kids mother for endangering the welfare of her child???
Wow..what is wrong with
Wow..what is wrong with people? To actually gather around an area that they heard gunshots from!?! People are so desperate for entertainment...they put their lives in danger. Simply crazy!!
God Bless you Anthony....may
God Bless you Anthony....may you now Rest in Peace. Mr. Sussman...you, sir, were this young man's Angel.........God Bless you!
Wow....it's nice to see such
Wow....it's nice to see such loving posts!! Thank goodness not all people are as heartless as you folks!! Some folks cared enough to care for the injured goose that was injured by other heartless people!! There will be many people, myself for one, that will be heartbroken if in fact, Henry is gone for good!!
You folks are awesome!!! And
You folks are awesome!!! And you're right! Instead of trying to chase away our wildlife....do something to keep it around!!!
LePage is an embarrassment to
LePage is an embarrassment to Maine...period...and even worse so because he is now our
Governor!! How often to you hear on National News that a soon to be elected Gov. will tell our President to "go to H..." Now..... we hit the news because LePage tells the NAACP to "kiss my butt"....wow....that's very mature of you...Governor!! Very impressive! This is no breath of fresh air for Maine....it's embarrassing, plain and simple. He is supposed to be working for the people, the Govt., setting an example........WE are paying this blow hard......and he is acting like a school yard bully!! Your son is "Jamaican", LePage!! He's not just "black"...and did you adopt him? I didn't see anywhere that he has your last name? Don't use him as a way to claim you are not racist in any way. Give the young man some dignity...and why must you drag him into your embarrassing actions anyways?
It's all fine and good if he
It's all fine and good if he doesn't want to attend the NAACP event....but to publicly tell them to "Kiss my butt!!"...pleaseeeeeeeeee!!! I don't think I have ever been more embarrassed to be a Mainer!! Every state in the USA must be having a good laugh about us now....great job Govenor! Very impressive....you're supposed to be a role model...running our state........geesh!!

Whether someone is a
Whether someone is a Republican,Democrat,Indepedant...whatever....it doesn't matter!! That isn't the reason someone picks up a gun and shoots people!! Every article I have read about this tragic event blames it on a left wing,right wing, no wing...what it all boils down to is this guy is obviously missing a few screws, didn't like the congress woman for his own wacko reasons, and he went off the deep end. We can't blame this tragedy on Sarah Palin...her stupidity didn't cause this. I strongly feel that the fact that she put the crosshairs and remarks for public view was the most idiotic thing a public figure wanting to work for our country could have done! Putting a crosshair picture alone does promote violence!
@Kevin....I really don't
@Kevin....I really don't think the Librarian or The Board of Trustees would make such drastic cuts without there being budget cuts. Having the Library open is an important necessity to area students. If I were one of Rumford's tax payers, I would be livid knowing my tax dollars were going to Black Mountain. The town of Rumford would not fall apart if this ski area were to close as they cried they would without the money. The tax payers should not have had to give them any money. Black Mt. should have planned better when they did their little face lift. And where is the "critical circumstance"? Black Mountain does nothing for the town of Rumford. They have taken advantage of the taxpayers, used money that could have gone for real "critical circumstances". Rumford needs to get those "yahoo" selectmen out of office as well.
You guys are absolutely
You guys are absolutely awesome!! You risked your own life to save this dog!
This is so cool! Even Santa
This is so cool! Even Santa needed a new ride!! The sleigh was getting kinda old anyways!
Thank you for serving our
Thank you for serving our country, Buddy. My heart goes out to Chelsea,Owen and Buddy's parents and in-laws. This is a very tragic loss and I am so sorry for you. Buddy is a true hero and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us all. God Bless you Buddy! May you R.I.P.
Geesh...why didn't I think of
Geesh...why didn't I think of posting a cool picture like that on my Facebook page? What a jerk this kid is!! I highly doubt this kid will grow into anyone productive. Anyone that starts out as he has, especially a kid that will assault his own grandmother...certainly doesn't show much promise! He needs to be behind bars, for a VERY long time. My guess, though, is he'll maybe get a couple years and will be out on probation....committing more burgluries,assaulting more relatives, etc. This kid is dangerous, period!!!
Do you think it's that easy
Do you think it's that easy Jo? Suffering from mental illness is a serious and very difficult thing. You can't just get off your meds and "reclaim your life". Medication helps to level out your moods so that you can somewhat function on a normal basis. I feel for these patients that Tri-county has dropped because Primary Care doctors don't know how to manage psychiatric medication.
I can not count the times I
I can not count the times I have been cut off and/or almost driven into by a Somalian. driver. They do not know how to drive! On the few occassions I have had to drive down Lisbon street, each time, I have almost been hit by a Somolian driver cutting me off. No I am not singling these people out, I am stating a FACT!! And as Kaos stated....there is ALWAYS a cell phone to their ear!
Hey, I'm Alma's BFF and we
Hey, I'm Alma's BFF and we text all the time! ;-) Seriously.... I agree....after a certain age, drivers should be tested at least every 18 months. I happened to be at the motor vehicle dept to register my vehicle the other day. This very elderly man was with an instructor to be tested again....well the very elderly man couldn't even park his car straight, nor without taking just one parking space! He was taking baby steps, which tells me his reflexes are not good.
@jeffyd....ummm...did you
@jeffyd....ummm...did you ever stop to think that people driving slow might just be driving cautiously? Unless you slowed down while "passing" them and checked their tires, how do you know their tires are bald? I'm one of those drivers that slows down when the road conditions are bad. My tires are far from bald and I have several idiots that fly by me, obviously in a hurry, so I guess they didn't give themselves that much time for bad weather.
@ Angelx34......have you ever
@ Angelx34......have you ever been sexually abused? Do you know how scared these girls are/were? How horribly sad that you, an adult, can't even be depended on to support an innocent child because you happened to "go to church" with this man. Priests teach the word of God.....they molest children. Ministers have killed their own wives...... would you insist they were all innocent? I highly doubt even if this had gone to a jury trial, this PEDOPHILE would have been found innocent. It's due to people like you that children that are abused are too afraid to speak out against sexual abuse. You should be ashamed of yourself!
This guy has certainly pulled
This guy has certainly pulled a fast one on his supporters! They are all fools and I can't get over how blinded (and I'm being polite) they are. They support him because he has such musical talent, they feel he's naive?, they feel a 29yr old man was tricked into confessing? Wow.........not sure who needs the psychiatric help here....and I'm not sure I would want these other teachers dealing with my kids either. What if another teacher starts "accidently" touching other children? These teachers won't believe those students either! Kinda scary isn't it? Our children should be safe in school when we can't be there to keep them safe, now we can't even count on the teachers!!! This man is sick, a pedophile, he likes pornography, touching little girls..etc. Send him away where he belongs! As for his supporters...GET THE HELP YOU ALL NEED!!
A written warning and a civil
A written warning and a civil penalty of $100? Why not just give him detention? This is ludicrous!! Anyone else would have been thrown in Federal Prison for years!!!
You can't just set your place
You can't just set your place on fire and call it good! :-\ It would be against the law because he had no fire permit for one! If the police arrested him obviously it's against the law to just torch your own home. That appears to be a new home and as others have stated, I highly doubt a 23 yr old paid cash for it. I don't think the mortgage company is really going to appreciate the fact that he tried to burn it down. As for fatandhappy calling candiceanne dumb....he/she didn't....they just stated that her comment was. Besides....in the past.....I have seen some VERY NASTY comments come from candiceanne, so someone saying her comment was dumb is mild.
I can't count the times I
I can't count the times I have almost been hit by speeding logging trucks that run red lights at the end of congress street. I now pull out slowly when I have a green light to be sure no trucks are coming. These logging and other 18 wheelers drive too fast through that area! It's frightening even coming down Falls Hill if you need to make a left turn either on to Spruce St. or into Food Trend with an 18 wheeler behind you. You simply pray they'll stop not hit you. They need to get rid of the "I'm bigger then you" attitude.
Ferland is a loser and should
Ferland is a loser and should lose his job! If this is how he reacts because the woman complained about the care of the cemetary, the man has some serious issues!! What makes her a "difficult woman" because she complained? I have seen how so many cemetaries are cared for and it's an insult to the resting souls that lie in them! Lawns are unkept, trash is lying throughout as well as dead branches. Families are paying for the upkeep of their loved ones graves! How do any of you know that Ferland is doing his job as perfectly as he claims? If he acts so childish because someone is complaining, I wouldn't expect his work to be very professional either. What he did to her husbands grave is against the law!! He took trash and left it on his stone, with a childish nasty note!! The police could have done something and so should his employers! This alleged letter is no longer the issue! Ferland is a childish moron!
If an animal had dug up the
If an animal had dug up the skull...there would be evidence at one of the grave sites...correct? I would think they would do a bit more of an investigation to be 100% sure where this skull came from. And to just re-bury it? Find out whom it belongs to for goodness sakes!!
Politics are
Politics are dirty......period!! It's so hard to know who to trust when it comes to voting time. I don't care if Joe schmoe smoked a joint 20 yrs ago.....that doesn't make he/she incapable of making a logical decision now!! It also doesn't make he/she any less of an intelligent human being! But the fact that Mr. LePage lost his cool and stormed off was not impressive. Yes.....it has got to be frustrating with all these stupid questions, BUT, if he wants to run our State, then he needs to have all the patience and tolerance in the world! If he's in the midst of a big meeting and loses his cool, will it be okay to just "walk out" of the meeting because it upset him? Will it be okay if he gets angry and voices his anger? Being human nature won't be acceptable once you're Govenor! Unless he's hiding something, he should be able to just answer the questions and move on. He seems to want to simply avoid the answers.
Not saying the Pledge is not
Not saying the Pledge is not about disrespect? Oh really? Those of us that don't want the Mosque near Ground zero are told we're being unfair and not respecting the Muslim religion........but we can't even Pledge our own flag, or speak our Savior's name publicly anymore because it might offend someone? I can't even write HIS name here because my post won't be pusblished..........but we're not disrespecting anyone? I don't EVER recall pledging the flag every day in school with anyone crying out that they were offended. This is America...and if you come to America....then you chose to live in OUR land and respect OUR way of life! We're the ones the should be offended by how you have come and forced us to change our ways of living!
How terribly sad! God bless
How terribly sad! God bless this man for his attempt to help in the Dempsey Challenge. How sad he passed away at such a young age.
Pet owners really need to
Pet owners really need to step up and be responsible!! I have read too many articles this summer about places having to ban pets from being allowed because they're owners can't be responsible enough to clean up after them! It takes all of a couple minutes to scoop the poop and put it in a bag!
Why would anyone smile when
Why would anyone smile when they have their mug shot taken? This just blows my mind. He was arrested for arson and burglary, not just stealing a pack of cigarettes! What a dork!! Let's see how big that smile is when he gets his sentence read to him.
I personally know of
I personally know of Americans who have worked very hard all their life and have been turned down for loans to start their own business! These people have excellent credit, excellent work history, etc. But Somalians can come right in and open up businesses!. Its not even safe to drive down Lewiston streets anymore because I can't tell you how many times I have been cut off by a somalian driver! Too many hard working americans are out there struggling to make ends meet and I see these people with literally, wads of cash in their hands, gold jewelery, brand new vehicles. And some of you say whose business is it where they get their cash? Well excuse me.......but I am a tax paying American and if that money comes from my taxes......it is my damn business!!!
Before anyone jumps on my
Before anyone jumps on my post and my forgiving Billie......one of the damaged headstones belongs to a family member of mine. You can all say and feel as you wish....but Billie's courage to step forward and publicly apologize shows character.
Billie.....your apology was
Billie.....your apology was wonderful. Please don't take to heart those that will comment that your apology was nice and then throw in a nasty comment with it. When we're young, we all get drunk and do stupid things. It's all part of growing up. But you are the first one I have seen in many,many years, that has made a public apology, accepted your guilt and responsibility and admitted you screwed up. It's not easy to fess up to something as touchy as cemetary vandalism.....so I am doubly impressed with you! Use this mistake as a big lesson.......alcohol can help you do a lot of bad things. I forgive you, Billie!
One thing that draws me to
One thing that draws me to them and it will really sound silly, but they make me think of Santa's reindeer. So I guess you could say it brings out the child in me! It warms the heart to stop and pat them and it just seems to bring a sense of peace to me. I'm so happy he's going to be keeping some of them. Thank you, Mr. Storman.
The ski area is privately
The ski area is privately owned and always begging for money. Maybe they should have thought things through a little more when they renovated. Guess they spent too much money? It's not up to the town to keep handing them money and for someone to threaten that they'll have to close down if they can't get the money is pathetic. They do very little for the Rumford people, accept take their money.
Don't these idiots realize
Don't these idiots realize that the cops already know who they are? Running away will only cause more problems ( if they survive). What is going on with people? This year seems to be the year for people attempting to elude and none of them have lived and now they're killing others. Hellooooo.......deal with the cops people, it will save your life! This is so very sad! Some poor Mom has to bury her 14 yr old son. My thoughts and prayers are with the families. People need to smarten up, especially with kids in the car.
To "flowers7".....do you
To "flowers7".....do you realize that you could be that one person that could "step in and help him" ? The more people that report this young mans problematic home life to the state, the better. I knew of a child that was being abused by his mother. One person reported it. The state checked it out......nothing. But as soon as others stepped in and made phone calls and reports to the state, action was taken. Reports can be made to the state, anonymously. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child.
I agree that since this kid
I agree that since this kid keeps feeling the need to take off....something needs to be done. Is there abuse going on at the home? Is he being a rebellious teen that just doesn't want to follow the house rules? Come on now....three strikes you're out!! If there's abuse, remove the kid. If he's being rebellious, slap him into a detention hall and make him follow rules that'll really tick him off! All this time being wasted looking for him, they could be searching for a child that is in danger!
This is the most childish
This is the most childish thing I have ever heard! License a golf cart? And the transportation systems wants the kids "change"? What is this world coming to? Here's my suggestion to the kid....do like they do in China! Make a taxi out of a three wheeled peddle bike! No motor on that........ no need to license!!
why is he pleading not
why is he pleading not guilty, the moron? The cops were right there? His dog was right there? HE was right there? You can obviously see that the dog takes after his owner! What a jerk is the kindest thing I can say here.
The biker may have revved his
The biker may have revved his bike to alert the driver of the car? Well that's a new one! Isn't that what the horn is for? It isn't always the car/driver that is at fault when a motorcyclist is killed. And you most certainly can tell by sound if a motorcycle is going fast! Knowing the area of this KFC, the woman most likely didn't see this guy coming when she backed out. This area is like the Indy 500, with cars and bikers alike flying through here. Everyone is so quick to blame the car/driver when this kind of accident happens. Can't be the motorcyclist was actually going too fast and came out of no where. Then we have the acrobat on his Harley in Bridgeton. His stupidity leaves some heartbroken people behind.

I can't believe all the heartless people that refused to spare a few minutes to help an animal that had been up this tree for so long! Especially Animal Control. God forbid anyone could lend a heartfelt few minutes of their time! Thank God for PETA!
If this dog has already been
If this dog has already been considered a dangerous dog, why was it not put down in 2007? Wouldn't you think the idiot owner would at least have the brains to keep the dog restrained or penned or something? This angers me beyond words! The dog already attacked a human...then Vining says he can't explain why the dog attached the Terrier......BECAUSE HE'S DANGEROUS....that's why you loser! The dog needs to be put down this time. A family has lost a very precious pet. Three children had to witness this horrible action, one they won't soon forget. This dog was also Mrs. Miller's therapy dog.....this will do quite a number on her. My thoughts are certainly with this family.
Well, Saint candiceanne, I
Well, Saint candiceanne, I am certainly glad you were not my mother. You may THINK you understand disorders, but apparently you do not. And this child is 7 years old!!! He does not have the skills to know how to control himself!!! What he has is an ILLNESS! Don't you think they might just teach them at Brandon how to deal with this and control it? ....get a clue for goodness sakes! Ahhhhh, if only I were as perfect as you.
It's wonderful that they have
It's wonderful that they have a place like Brandon to help these kids, but why do they have to make it so hard for parents to be able to get their kids there by charging $410 a DAY? Even parents that make good money would have to scrimp and save for that. I know that in the end, it's worth it, but my goodness, people are desperate when they send their kids there, make it more accessable! My best wishes to Raequann, believe in yourself, young man and you will get better! How scary it must be for such a little boy to realize, that young, he has such a serious problem. On the other hand, how wonderful for a little boy to know it is a problem. Good luck, Raequann!!! You can do it!!!
Let's not insult homosexuals
Let's not insult homosexuals by bringing tron into it. Tron is a moron.....plain and simple. If he had read your post correctly, ajg1959, he would understand you weren't sticking up for the guy. And I am sorry about your cousin. I believe this guy did all this to the girl and she is just too scared to testify. He's a sick pig...plain and simple.

They weren't teaching the moose to play chase for goodness sakes! If you read the article....it clearly states that they do limit human contact! Pam and Nikki, you gals are doing a great job!
Well let us see how well Mr.
Well let us see how well Mr. Vicious does when he is behind bars with the big boys. Once they find out he murdered a little boy....his days will be numbered. And Tron......no one is responsible for this guys actions but himself!!! You can blame his behavior on the TV shows he watches, the books he reads, the games he plays, the people he hangs with....but it all boils down to what HE chooses to do. Ormsby is nothing but a coward and a loser. No one that can kill an 11 yr old boy can even be classified as a human being.
I'm praying that Shawn thinks
I'm praying that Shawn thinks things through and realizes that suicide isn't the answer. Praying that he is found safe!
Service animals can not be
Service animals can not be banned as they are being used for a purpose and it would be illegal for the park to ban them. People that use them are disabled. If people would learn to pick up after their dogs and also keep them leashed and "controlled" this park would not have to ban them!! People bring dogs that they can't even control while on a leash and these dogs cause fear and mayhem! Why would anyone want to walk the trails and have to fear for not only their well being but their own dogs? I clean up after my dog in my own yard. I don't want to step on dog poop here and I don't expect to have to step on it on a public trail. I have seen people walk their dogs in cemetaries and not clean up after them!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
I remember your preachings
I remember your preachings from the Gay marriage issues, dear Madeleine. This is about EQUAL RIGHTS!!! You made it well know with the gay marriage issue that you hate homosexuals, so I am sure you have put Brianna in that category. Child molesters have dressed as priests....I don't see you mentioning that along with your concern of them dressing as women. People fear what they don't understand...and the sad thing is....there is nothing to fear. You tell Brianna to get over herself.....well I feel, too...that you need to get yourself off your judging throne and judge only yourself. If God feels that Brianna or anyone else for that matter, is doing anything he finds offensive, it's for him to judge, not you!!!!! Last I knew...the God I love and worship, was all about love and acceptance.
She couldn't see the
She couldn't see the headlight of the motorcycle coming before she turned in front of him? There was no excuse for not seeing him coming! People need to pay attention and realize that motorcylces can't stop on a dime!
Here we have it.......all you
Here we have it.......all you holier then thou people that sit in your thrones and judge people because you label them as different. If Brianna is using a woman's bathroom, no other female will know Bri has a penis unless the woman goes into the stall with her! Brianna is not in there because she's a pervert trying to get a sneak peek, so what harm is being done? She will not flash a young child nor will a young child even know that Bri is a man! It is so nice to know that there are those of you out there that are so perfect that you can judge others. Do you people walk on water as well? Brianna should be able to live her life in peace. She is hurting NO ONE!
Civilian panels....
The reason there are no "civilian panels" , Tron, is because cop haters like you would have every single one of them behind bars. I saw your comments about the Bates College incidents. I've seen your cop hating comments on other police related articles. Your kind of attitude is why there is not "civilian panel". In this case, yes....the officer or FORMER officer was drinking. But I hate to bust your plastic bubble, but not all police officers are bad. Now you go ahead and attack my comment like you do everyone elses that doesn't agree with you.
Hmmm..
[This comment has been removed by the administrator]
How horrible........
This woman got just 30 days for stealing $25,000 from her own mother...and to use for drugs at that? I am more and more amazed with our judicial system as time goes by. I realize jails are full and we can't afford to house these low lives...but something has to be done to show these people that what they do is not going to be tolerated! This woman should be made to go through house arrest for way more then 30 freakin days...she's the scum of the earth! Anyone that can rob their own flesh and blood is trash!
Spare me the tears........
These college kids throw a drunken party....get out of control to the point several police depts are needed....then they start boo hooing that the big bad cop picked on them? Please!!! I saw broken bottles all over the news report...stupid acting drunk students, it was very plain to see what the cops had to deal with. Grow up kids!!! A few laws were broken that night, face reality like the rest of the world!
Very impressive
How impressive to see those college students all drunked up,bloodied up and looking stupid! Will they be our next congressmen? Lawyers? Teachers? Wonder what they were there studying? Their names should be in the paper, the parents should be paying for all this as well as the costs of the injured policeman. Yes, all college students drink and have fun.......but to get this out of control? Please.............
Cowards!
It takes nothing but cowards to gang up on one man! What is going on with these deadly assaults in Portland?
Congratulations!
Good for you George! You are an inspiration to many!
I'm with whcosta and crankbait....
Why is it every single time something like this happens, or an officer has to shoot someone, it's the cops fault..or as Tron said...a republicans? It was Witham that didn't stop for the officer, so at this point, not only did he have outstanding warrants, he was eluding the officer. I sincerely hope the Mom and her baby are okay. The officers are well trained and do know when to stop a pursuit.
I'm sorry for your loss.....
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Tracy and Lisa.....I'm really sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Audrey
Pay attention!
The whole point of driving behind someone is to always expect the unexpected!! Apparently she was following a tad too close to the bus and just not paying attention! Typical! She was probably on her phone or prettying up her hair in the mirror! I have had more close calls with being rear ended by young girls then young boys...and all have been by girls playing on the phone, applying make up or just goofing around! Grow up and take driving seriously!
Unbelievable......
What ever happened to just getting a divorce? This is just so so sad. A woman's life has been taken, two boys have lost their Mom. I just don't get it.
What is wrong?
What is wrong with these people that defend him? He has already admitted that he gets his jollies from touching little girls!! And my dear sweet Ms.Roman....you never truely know someone and unless you followed this child molesting slime around...you have no idea what he does with those children. Child molesters are able to turn on the charm and be one person one minute and the next, they are visibly evil. I've been molested....I'm sure this idiot is upbeat........I'm curious to see what his punishment will be.
Tell me....
Tell me why male volunteer drivers are driving female clients to their appointments? This is not the first time women have been attacked. It happened a few years back in Augusta, I believe it was. Women should drive female clients and in all actuallity, they should drive young boy clients too. This world has become so unsafe for children now. Male drivers should only be able to drive certain age males. I know I am going to get jumped on for making this statement..but before you jump...think about it. S0 many children, 17 and under are being assaulted sexually. Look at that boys at the park recently who was touched by the Community Concepts guy. Women are raped left and right. Yes..there are a handful of women that are molesters as well....but it is a handful.
Brats...
I think once the little brats get done cleaning up their mess in the school, they should be made to do some supervised community service. They should be treated no different then a teenager that has done the same type of crime. They apparently lack supervision since they were able to be gone long enough to make a mess through out the entire school, so it makes me wonder what type of punishment they will actually get at home.
Why?
Why did the guy unlock his door in the first place? Doesn't he ask who is at his door first? It doesn't state in this article if he knew Ryerson or not. It just blows my mind that Ryerson chokes the guy and threatens to kill him, and is now out walking the streets. What if he goes back and now actually kills the guy? Does the bailiff say "oops!"
A good side
I think, too, that the daughter should have thought over her decision to bring this book up to her father. If he had never mentioned this to the family, there was obviously a reason. BUT, the one good thing that comes from this book is that it does explain that the children were put there for the wrong reasons and it tells what really went on there. I'm sorry, Mr. Zupokfska, for the pain and suffering you endured.
Oh please.....
Oh please.......what other reason would he be looking at pictures of nude children for besides sexual gratification? And it's illegal..plain and simple!!! How can anyone get on that stand and defend him? I can not even imagine putting my reputation on the line for him. His musical talents means crap! He's a pedophile..........everyone always wants to doubt the childrens words........this is why children are so afraid to speak up. Do you doubting adults know what it's like to be abused and then be called a liar when you are finally brave enough to speak out?
Landlords
I agree with "seacat7up".....when you rent a place...problems can't always be seen right off. I speak from experience after renting a mobile home from hell rented from a horrible landlord. What looked like a wonderful mobile home turned into a nightmare. Electrical troubles, leaking roof, heating problems, rotting floor that had been covered up..........etc. Getting the landlord to do anything was a joke. It always seems like once they have you in and the rent is paid.....you're on your own.
What?
Let's not turn this into a same sex marital issue! Don't start labeling all gay people as child molesters because that is so damn far from true!!
Longer prison term
The punishment for these slime balls need to be so much more then a slap on the hand. A few months in jail doesn't cut it. Everyone keeps screaming castration, but that doesn't affect what you all think it does. Once a pedophile, always a pedohile. The consequences for their actions needs to be alot tougher. This guy is sick and dangerous.
Always someone with a negative!
Never fails...there is always someone to post a negative when there is an accident on here! Can't be...Marooned...that she was following the speed limit and the animal ran in front of her!!! Geesh!! First...thank God she's okay and thank God Mr. Chambers and Mr.Seekins were her Angels there to help.
Pay attention!!!
Pay attention you jerk!! The driver was killed!!! She was a mother of two small children and she died, so you don't have to listen to her excuse! Now learn to read!
If you look around John
If you look around John quest....you'll see alot of a$$es hanging out of peoples pants already. And it ain't a purty sight!!
Question?
It states this woman is a UMF student....is she walking around town topless because she isn't allowed in class this way? Has she made her point on campus and in her classes as well? I'm curious as to whether she has been banned from doing this on campus because it's not allowed and this is why she is walking downtown. Personally, there are much more important causes to be fighting in this world then whether I can hang my bare hooties to the world or not.
Pathetic
The creep handed the flash drive to the officer, this pretty much means he gave them his permission to see what was on it! They didn't tear it out of his hands or anything "he handed it to them". These jerks get caught....then try to turn things around and blame the law for mistreating them. It makes me sick!
Flowers and beauty
Take care of the Iris' in heaven, John! God Bless you! My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.
Weight
He has lost some weight, dlaurels, his major problem is a 200 pound mass that has grown from his stomach. It needs to be removed. This has nothing to do with eatting himself to death. His former doctor should have referred him to someone who could have removed that mass if he couldn't...not tell the guy to find his own doctor!
Very sad
Birdwatcher....wth? You're beyond pathetic!! How about some compassion for the family? Suicide is such a difficult thing for people to deal with! Those left behind always blame themselves and they don't need idiots like you adding salt to the wounds! My heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends. Please don't blame yourself for this......you don't see it now, but you did all you could to help him. God bless you all!
I can't believe
I can't believe all the hoopla about the location of the accident when someone has lost their life! You people are really pathetic! And you wingnut56 are beyond pathetic with your sick sense of humor! God bless this poor man and his family!!
Good or Bad
I have no idea what goes on behind the walls of this motor cycle club....and it's none of my business. I will say that one afternoon a couple years ago, a friend and I stopped to help one of the bikers whose car was broke down and he was nothing but nice and grateful to us! I hope Bert is up and riding soon!
Dangerous dogs
These dogs should be outlawed..period!!! I know someone will jump on me for this statement...but that's fine. I have read so many stories about pitbulls attacking and mauling people, it's crazy.
Pathetic
What a pathetic piece of crap!! If you "accidently" shoot someone, especially your spouse...you don't dump their body somewhere.. What a jerk this loser is! Rot in hell Dapolito!
Jerk
Why did the idiot marry her in the first place? I hope he rots in hell the pathetic excuse of a human being!
Once a sex offender...always!
Once someone commits a sex offense and has to be registered as a sex offender, they should FOREVER have to register!! Smart is a prime example that sex offenders never change! To actually know that our judicial system felt sorry for these offenders because they had to continue to register long after the offense! How would you like to be a victim, Baldacci, and suffer long after the offense?! And then to know Smart lives with his two young daughters as well? That is very scarey!
Self proclaimed something
This self proclaimed whatever may be out to preotect himself, but he can't guarentee some innocent person won't be the recipient of his bullet. I suffer from chronic pain and am disabled, but I would not look to him for counseling. Yes, he may understand to a point, but he has dubbed himself too many things.
I sure hope it was all worth
I sure hope it was all worth it!
Has anyone ever heard of walk
Has anyone ever heard of walk away when you get that angry? Tomorrow they'll be back together and all fine...unless just maybe this guy will have some smarts.
A very nice article and
A very nice article and congratulations! I look at my first two bad relationships as training for the "right one". You learn from them what you want and don't want from a relationship. Christopher will be right there with you with your MS, Dawn....thats what true love is all about! Have a beautiful life together!!
I'm with Carolyn. Why do
I'm with Carolyn. Why do people get pets ,then stick them outside? And northwoods, pets are domesticated animals and no longer raised to live in the outdoors like wild animals
( or your mother in law) so there is a difference. Don't get pets if you're going to just stick them outside...what's the point? They'll freeze in the winter or die of heat stroke in the summer... cruelty to animals.
What a great bunch of kids!
What a great bunch of kids! It's wonderful to hear how they're all working together to help out!
I'm with Bob67.......sounds
I'm with Bob67.......sounds like this woman makes a living doing this kinda thing. How ironic she has had these sort of lawsuits in the past. How many people is she going to sue over this puck incident? She already sued the school's insurance carrier, now she's suing the city. Next she'll sue the company that the materials came from...then on and on.
She's a con artist.........someone needs to wake up here!
What a bunch of losers! What
What a bunch of losers! What does this prove? Cutting someone's christmas lights. Does it make this punk or punks feel cool? This place always looks so pretty..why does someone feel the need to destroy these folks property?
tron....did your folks have
tron....did your folks have any children that lived? I hate to bust your fantasy bubble but cops don't make $50,000 a year. And did you read the entire article and this womans record? I have no doubt she pushed the cops to the point of them having to shoot her! You never ever have anything positive to say.
I agree with everyone...he's
I agree with everyone...he's no different from any of us. Being famous and rich doesn't make him perfect. BUT...why is it when these famous and rich folks are unfaithful...they all come up with the same line..." I'm not perfect". Since no one really is perfect...does this make it okay for us all to cheat on our other halves? I don't see why it must always make headlines when these people cheat...because they all do it. They're money and power goes to their heads...(apparently not just the head on top of their shoulders) But find another excuse then you aren't perfect. Just admit you're a piece of crap!
It might help if the police
It might help if the police would draw up a picture of the guy and post it in the paper. Their description could be anyone!
I would never even consider
I would never even consider going to Quality Homes after this. This is so far from professional behavior...I'd be too embarrassed to have their sign on my front lawn! I'd be too afraid of being threatened or assaulted!!
I can't believe the defense
I can't believe the defense attorney feels they should consider the fathers state of mind at the time of the shooting. If they did this every time someone killed someone...no one would be convicted! He killed his son in cold blood for goodness sakes! Regardless of the fact that his son molested the 3 yr old...cold blooded murder was wrong!! My dear God!!! What is this world coming to? This man belongs in prison.....plain and simple!!!
Gardner keeps stating
Gardner keeps stating they're all adults......but they're freaking actions far from prove that!! And all this over some bum guy who is playing the both of you? Grow up! All three of you!!
queenhoneybee......a sex
queenhoneybee......a sex offender is a sex offender.. whether they offend one or many times. I'm a survivor too and am really blown away and insulted that you can sit there and defend sex offenders and claim they each have their own story. you can sit there and preach your holier then thou speech to everyone, but your sex offender defense is an insult to other victims and survivors.
queenhoneybee, I too am a
queenhoneybee, I too am a survivor, but I have no compassion for child molester or
any other one. This guy had a nerve to ask the SJ not to mention he was a pedophile and that he wasn't a pervert. Well you know what buddy... you are a pervert!!! You sexually assaulted a child!! Whether you did it once or ten times, you're a child molester! this guy claims he can't work due to back problems but he can stand and beg for money hours on end every day? He should be chased out of Auburn too! he's a distraction for one. how do all of that give him money even know what he uses it for?
I think he should be
I think he should be sentenced to spend a year in the pit of a MENS only outhouse!! This man is definately not all there! He can't be aware of all the dangers he faces of disease sitting in that pit. Since he is so fond of standing in poopy do.....give him a full time job cleaning it!
Thank the good Lord everyone
Thank the good Lord everyone , pets included, made it out safely.
well biker....... I hope you
well biker....... I hope you no longer live in maine. wouldn't want you to be embarrassed by what you feel has turned into such a horrible place!! maine doesn't need any more predjudism and haters then it all ready has!! you people sit on your self proclaimed thrones and judge others.......look at yourself and worry about what affects YOU!!! If two men or two women get married, it doesn't affect you or your life at all!!
my heartfelt sympathy to her
my heartfelt sympathy to her family! heaven has a beautiful little angel!
momof4...........I pray to
momof4...........I pray to God that none of your children ever have to tell you that they are gay or struggling with some other sexual related issue. I have read so many of your comments on here and you are so closed minded and hateful!! I would feel so sad for your kids if one of them had to tell YOU they were gay. That would be worth then the trip to hell you'd tell them they were destined for.
Good for you,Larry! That's
Good for you,Larry! That's determination! There are just too many alternatives these days for people to use " I have no vehicle " as an excuse not to work.
As someone that considered
As someone that considered The Sportsman as a safe place to be myself and enjoy being me, it is too bad that this place is closing. Roland did a wonderful job with the Sportsman and we all thank him so much for all he did for the gay community. I hope he's enjoying his retirement.
To Former.......have you
To Former.......have you been back to the area lately? Not sure what they think the blue ox is going to draw business to on the island since most places have shut down. Spending almost $7000 on this statue was crazy. Yes, it does cost money to make money...but let's be realistic....this was a stupid way to spend money. Since you no longer live in Maine nor live in the town and pay the outrageous Rumford taxes...you have no right to sit there and call them a bunch of whiners.

I'm with you amother.
I'm with you amother. Geesh.... we can send money to other countries to help them but we can't help our own people! This is just absolutely wrong!!!
Susan2....you're pathetic!!
Susan2....you're pathetic!! How can you even make such a comment? You and dr.dosh should both go find something to do.
dr. dosh...Rumford has many
dr. dosh...Rumford has many wonderful people residing there. Every town has it's share of scum, so do not single out this town as being a "horror story". I would like to know what town you're from, I'm sure they must be real proud to have you there! I too, question why this girls mom waited so long to report this incident to the police,but then maybe the girl didn't tell her right away. I also question why Erskine's pic isn't posted along with this story. I'm sure the officer has been well trained in handling rape victims and when he said she wasn't "injured" he probably meant physically. In his training, he knows the psychological scarring this girl will endure. My heart goes out to her.
To auburnnn ......its sad
To auburnnn ......its sad that you feel just because he never made advances towards you that you feel he is innocent and such a harmless man. Pedophiles don't touch every child they come in contact with, so if this is what you base your thoughts on, you are dead wrong. Though you may feel this guy isn't a scarey sex fiend....he's a sick man that is doing a lot of horrible damage to young girls. I was close friends with a guy and thought the world of him. We worked together as well. One day the cops came in and arrested him for child pornography. I thought I "knew" him too...and until then...thought he was a wonderful family man.
Keep giving these pedophiles
Keep giving these pedophiles such light sentences so they can come right back out into society and attack more children! If they don't keep Raymond locked away, he's going to hurt so many little girls..... and speaking from my own childhood, it stays with us forever. I will always carry part of that "hurt little girl" inside me. So the law needs to stop Raymond and keep in behind bars. I am so tired of reading how these offenders keep re-offending.
Can people no longer
Can people no longer function without these phones glued to their hands and ears? I have had many close calls on the road by people that almost hit me because they're on the phone! Even when I'm shopping, I've been nailed by grocery carts by people just yacking away! I have a cell phone as well as a blue tooth. If someone calls me while I'm on the road and even shopping, I stop, get out of the way and finish my conversation. But I am not glued to this phone and refuse to be. There is life beyond that phone people!! And it is a much safer one!!
I honestly feel that Samson
I honestly feel that Samson got away with murder due to lack on evidence..I still am very disappointed that they have "closed the case". I feel they should have done more investigating, looking at other possibilities and other possible suspects.
Don't let the door hit you
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
If she had done everything
If she had done everything she was supposed to do when pulling out into traffic, Mr. Lorthrup would not be dead now. Yup..poor girl has to live with this the rest of her life. Mr. Lorthrups family has to live "without" him for the rest of their lives.
MeinMaine..you are saying
MeinMaine..you are saying that you are APPALLED at some of our reactions...well let me say yours sounds pretty heartless. This "accident" had nothing to do with Mr. Lorthrup not wearing a helmet nor seeing the truck in time to react. Mr. Lorthrup was already on the highway, he was not at fault in any way. And because things are so hectic at the speedway, one takes extra precaution to make sure it's safe to pull out. Someone's life was lost for goodness sakes.....and you want us to feel sorry for the poor little 17 year old girl that "didn't see him"? A man is dead for goodness sakes. When you get your drivers license, you take on a HUGE responsibility. You not only take on responsibility of your life on the road, but EVERYONE elses. No, this was not intentional...but that's what the word "manslaughter" stands for. That 17 yr old took on a responsibility when she got behind the wheel, just like you or I do when we get in our car to drive. If I pull out of my driveway and hit a car, you are damn tootin it's going to be "my fault". The cops not gonna buy my saying "oops...didn't see him coming". A man died as a result of this "accident".......too bad if this poor 17 yr old has to live with it. As I said, at least she gets to live......
Yes, I have heard of the
Yes, I have heard of the word "Accident". I myself have been involved in one when a woman pulled from a stop sign claiming she didn't see me and I was in a bigger vehicle then she! I do not care how old this driver was that was pulling from the speedway. If she's old enough to have her license, then she should be old enough to handle ALL responsibilities that come with it. No, she didn't get up that day with the intentions of causing an accident that day,let alone taking a life, but when you are behind the wheel, you have alot of responsibilities. You watch for EVERYTHING, from vehicles,to pedestrians, kids on bikes to MOTORCYCLES. I'm a biker, and this man and the size of his bike would have been enough to be seen if she was paying enough attention. Yes, I feel sorry for the girl too, BUT, what about Mr. Lorthrup, he died, and he has a family that is now suffering a horrible loss. This girl needs to pay the consequences like anyone else. She may have to live with this the rest of her life, but at least she lives. Mr. Lorthrup no longer does.
I certainly hope they do
I certainly hope they do file some charges against this girl. She caused this now fatal accident. Mr. Lorthrop knew to lay down his bike to avoid collision, but sadly, it did him no good. This girl needs to face the consequences of her actions.
Regardless of which will
Regardless of which will explode quicker, thank God the fuel didn't because everyone would have died. God Bless Mr.Jackson and his family. What a horrible accident and by looking at his car....even though we all know his death was quick, there is no way he didn't suffer pain and fear. I see, every day, people drifting over that yellow line for some reason or another, and this includes the truckers. I live on the Canton Point Rd. I can't tell you the close calls I've had with the logging trucks that come around the corners on MY side of the road. I can not imagine the fear Mr. Jackson felt at that very moment he knew what was doing to happen. I have been in an accident involving a tractor trailer, and your life does pass before your eyes. The fear is beyond words. God Bless him, may he RIP.
Well greatgramgrover, do you
Well greatgramgrover, do you need a hug this morning or something? These folks are far from "stupid" for one. Just because you think it's "hogwash and ridiculous" doesn't mean the rest of the world does. So much could be learned from what they are doing, and it's too bad this had to be stopped. Maybe if you did a little reading up on this "hogwash" you would understand it a little more. Now go take your nice pill this morning.

I bet all of her children
I bet all of her children are extremely proud that their Mama made it into the SJ. It would be nice if this "woman" would find it extremely embarrassing that her picture is in the paper..but if she doesn't find it embarrassing the way she presents herself in public, I highly doubt having her picture in the paper will do anything either. She definately isn't a pretty picture....to say the least.....like someone said....dress for your age.....heck...just cover up lady!
First....thank you to Sun
First....thank you to Sun Journal for doing this follow up article...great job! Not that any murder makes any sense, period.....but the motive for this one really doesn't make sense. If Moulton was the one with the issue against Sheldon, then why didn't he kill Sheldon? And for both killers being on the honor roll.....they sure didn't use any brains when they planned this murder. Moulton hung out in the bathroom....Hamel runs out into the public where he can be seen and identified....Moulton then describes him to a T to police. And I do find it hard to believe that Sheldon's estranged wife aka Moultons girlfriend, had no idea that this murder was being planned, just my thoughts on this. The gal obviously has poor choices in men all the way around. My sympathy goes out to the families left to deal with this tragedy.
I do not know this young
I do not know this young man, but will say that to those of you who thought the sketch of the suspect was so bad.....I think it looks pretty close. And again, I do not know this young man, but I will say how very sad that he, an honor roll student, chose to throw his entire future away this past Monday night. I can not imagine what drove him to take the lives of the two men, which in turn, affected so many other innocent people, children (unborn as well).
I can't even express the
I can't even express the anger I feel that this stupid pathetic guy will walk away from this as if nothing happened. And there is a family mourning the loss of a loved one. Our pathetic District attorney won't press charges, which is an insult to the family and the deceased. This is wrong.....this is just so horribly wrong.
No charges have been filed?
No charges have been filed? He killed a woman for God's sakes! And don't tell me he didn't know he hit her! He has all these driving offenses, which obiviously haven't slowed him down, literally. And they aren't going to charge him with anything when he killed a woman? Wow...this states judicial system just keeps on going to hell. Why do the cops bother to write any more tickets? What good does it do?

Geesh Bo, your daughter must
Geesh Bo, your daughter must be so proud of you. I hope you really didn't think you had us all fooled with that pathetic newspaper article claiming you had turned your life around. You are no more bipolar then my dog is. Once again, you were stealing money from the govt and from someone that really needs it! I certainly hope that this time, you do all the time you have coming to you. Think about your daughter for once!! She deserves a better father!
People will never take Rt.#4
People will never take Rt.#4 seriously, not even after all the horrible fatal accidents that have occurred there. If this kid claims he didn't see this woman, he should be ashamed of himself! She would have been out in plain view to him! There is no way he couldn't have seen her. Then to not even mention it when the police arrived? How horribly heartless! My thoughts and prayers to her family.
Unknowingly hit her? That's
Unknowingly hit her? That's a load of crap! The tire tracks go right across the lawn. If she was walking there, IN PLAIN VIEW...there is no way they didn't see her. And just how did the driver lose control of his car? Driving too fast?
This is just so sad. No one
This is just so sad. No one ever seems to learn for one, not to get in a car with a drunk driver, and the dumb ass drunk drivers seem to be everywhere! No one ever learns! They are out there, day after day, taking someones life. I read more then not, that they survive the crash, but their passengers don't. And I'll be willing to bet, once Doucette is out of the hospital, he'll be drinking again.
Okay, I've been fighting for
Okay, I've been fighting for disability for two years now, have a genuine illness that really does prevent me from working. This guy breaks the law a zillion times, convinces them he's bipolar and bam....he gets social security! What the hell? And again, no jail time? I just do not get it!!
To Taxpoor........I would
To Taxpoor........I would rather "lack something upstairs" then have what you have upstairs.
You know, I am overweight,
You know, I am overweight, and we can all sit around and put blame on everything else. But it all boils down to the fact that it's us, the individual, that buys and consumes the foods that make us overweight. I am doing my best,now, to eat as healthy as I can. Yes, the real healthy food is expensive, so I eat less of the food I can afford. It just kills me when I treat myself to a meal out, and see this horribly obese person order the largest portion of the worst food they could order. And this very person is in a wheelchair because they can't walk due to their size. Come on people, America has become lazy. And who's kidding who! We love food! I admit I do! But I have no one to blame but myself for the size of my body. The one thing that does make me laugh is when I go see my doctor....who is far from a sex goddess herself....and she has the nerve to tell me that I am obese! What the hell?
How horrible that anyone can
How horrible that anyone can steal from a place that offers charitable help to those in need! They stole from needy families..what a horrible, cruel thing to do!
