Part of it is the expectation that someone else will (or already has) contacted the police. Another part of it is that people take their cues from those around them. If no one else seems alarmed by the situation, an individual will assume they must be misinterpreting what's going on and will adjust their behavior accordingly. My personal belief is that the "fake" violence depicted in the media has also numbed people to the horror of REAL violence. Add to that the large numbers of people who don't seem to believe that part of being a parent is teaching their children some moral values... Well... I despair.Rebecca Hartonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870223396233596067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163849.post-55689042348400466972009-10-30T14:57:48.311-06:002009-10-30T14:57:48.311-06:00In case you missed this story in Texas.

Then go back with charges based on that ruling of intent of the law. Last year at Superior Days in Madison Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson spoke to us regarding these types of rulings on intent of the law when it was questionable on the intent of the law. Of course this is Wisconsin and not Texas.superiorfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654678572432293872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163849.post-43411645088510212302009-10-30T09:32:17.920-06:002009-10-30T09:32:17.920-06:00Should add DNA evidence links suspect with two oth...Should add DNA evidence links suspect with two other sexual assaults.

That is about 1 1/2 hours away and million miles away. It does not surprise me in the least that these bastards did this and that others took video for their own personal viewing pleasure. Richmond is dangerous. It is out of control, no one is safe there. I hope to God that poor child recovers.<br />Tabatha (Friend in Folsom)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163849.post-4531321769076184602009-10-30T07:51:21.952-06:002009-10-30T07:51:21.952-06:00About a year in a half ago I did the SDP Citizens ...About a year in a half ago I did the SDP Citizens Police Academy. Duluth also has a program and I'd highly recommend these programs. <br /><br />We talked a lot about how to handle these emergency situations. How to make better more informative 911 calls. If in doubt at all call 911 don't second guess if you even think a call might be appropriate. <br /><br />Currently in Superior a rapist is being charged because of a 911 call. A 911 caller said they heard screams coming for the wade bowl area. The officer responding arrived and did not find anything at first but stopped and identified an individual walking on the other side of the park. Made positive ID and recorded the information. 20 mins later the call of the assault comes in from the victim. Police recontacted the suspect and collected evidence. Without the 911 call the suspect would have been long gone. Remember at the time the suspect(rapist) was first contacted there was not even a report of an assault.superiorfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654678572432293872noreply@blogger.com
