in response to Computahound:

I can understand your concerns and worry. But please let’s not make it a crime for being poor. Hat’s off to the police for leaving them alone in there own misery. I can not think of anyone who want’s to be poor, broke, hot, cold, or hungry.

In no way did I say it is a crime to be poor. Lived poor myself for years, and poverty doesn't mean disgusting. But if you lived with your children next to a house that is falling apart and covered with trash all over the yard, with the "owners" coming and going all day for about 15 minutes at a time (they don't even live there), also with their little children in the car waiting for them, maybe you would think differently. Hats off to the police, probably only in your neighborhood. Maybe the police would like to come pick up the feces and pee outside that house too. Yes this is a matter for code enforcement. But when does obvious drug activity become too obvious?


Nothing really can be done. Except, move out of the neighborhood. I have called the police several times on my neighbor for suspicious activity. Their house is run down. No meter present for electricity, no running water, and yet people come and go all day. We have called the city, health department, and police. What is the result...nothing. Not until something horrible happens will anything ever be done. I read another article about the "trust" problem the police have, I wonder why they have a trust problem...

Written on New Vanderburgh homes start skyrocketing :

Nice. New houses. Too bad because of all the jobs leaving this area and so many more people losing just about everything there isn't much money to spend on actually buying a new home. Or let alone saving for a down payment.

Written on Distrust of police in Center City neighborhoods frustrates some investigations:

I have lived in Evansville for about three years now. And I have had instances which demanded the call to 911. Once when my neighbors were having a loud party and there were clearly minors and drugs present. An officer passed by about two hours later, after the party was over. (Great timing EPD) Another when my vehicle was broken into, a statement was taken over the phone, no one ever showed up for fingerprints, even though there was clearly evidence left. And another when there was a dog left in this abandoned house, the temperature was very hot outside, and the animal was clearly in distress. Animal control actually showed up faster than any police officer has. So, obviously, the dog was more important. Maybe if I lived in some nice, rich neighborhood...maybe I would get some help. EPD, you have a long way to go. My faith and my trust in you is zero!


My kids have already started school, and they are asking for packed lunches. Why? Two reasons, the food isn't very good and there isn't much served anyway. My children come home starving. So now I know that they cannot possibly be giving the teacher their full attention, they are hungry! How can a kid learn when they cannot concentrate? I know this is supposed to be for the best, but limiting portions when the food isn't very good to begin with is a bad idea.

Written on Administration sparing some from deportation:

I am for anyone wanting to make a better future for themselves. But I expect it done the right way. what about all those who have already become citizens through the process required in the first place. This is a slap in their face. I think Obama wanted the vote of the Hispanics, well let me tell you this, this Hispanic is not voting for Obama.

Written on Former Gibson County doctor accused of fraud:

in response to renegad44:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

And for $19,000 your nephew is still alive. If you truly knew the work that went into his procedures, you would agree it isn't much to pay for a life. There are good as well as bad doctors, nurses, and hospitals out there. But they remain a necessity. It's a shame the bad ones cannot be weeded out before they cause problems.

Well let's just hope you never end up in an emergency room or even worst...a big bad hospital room. Might as well stay home and get better. Stock up on your tylenol, for the pain...just sayin'!

Written on Vectren launches defense of rates:

Some of these comments appear to have been written by a vectren employee...damage control? Just saying....

Written on Police: Two accused of severely beating woman:

Just goes to show some people never grow up.

Written on Legislators continue to propose drug testing for welfare recipients:

I hope they pass some sort of bill to make welfare recipients take a drug test. Working people have to in order to get a job. It's only fair that those who live off our tax dollars do the same.


The local news coverage stated that the bicyclists did not have lights on their bikes. There should be one white in front and a red in back. And who cares why they were out so late, fact of the matter is that one got hit and the driver left. Maybe the driver was sleepy and went off the road a little, or was intoxicated. No one really knows the entire story. If the driver has any sense of remorse, he or she should turn themselves in. Eventually the driver will be found, it's only a matter of time.

Written on Kentucky bill would bar illegal immigrants from welfare : how about the drug abusers who collect welfare? Can we bar them as well? If we have to pass a drug screen to work, then welfare recipients should have to as well for doing nothing.

Written on Police: Vandalism could have been racially motivated:

in response to RonNesler:

The good news is that this hating generation, my generation, is dying off. The younger folks coming along seem to have a more progressive, liberal heart in their bodies. A fact for which mankind can rightfully be proud and grateful.

Unfortunately I completely disagree with this comment. Parents who hate are teaching their children to hate. If they are not teaching intentionally, the children are definitely learning from the parents actions. It shows in our schools. My children are as American as it gets, but that is never thought of when racial comments are made to them. Maybe one day the hate will end, but I don't believe it will be anytime soon.

Written on A new year, a new North High School | GALLERY:

Everyone has valid points, but it's a done deal now, so why not concentrate on the new problems. Such as transportation. There are over 40 buses that go to North now. These buses are mixed with high school and junior high students. I have two children attending the new school. One in high school and one in junior high, and their bus is severely overcrowded. On the way home yesterday, there were as many as three kids to a seat. Some sitting on each others laps. This is completely unsafe. Are measures being taken to re-route some buses to accomodate the sudden surge in bus use? This school is here and obviously here to stay, so why not concentrate on the new problems brought upon us by it. The price of gas is also a problem I believe. It is rising and now the number of buses traveling a long distance to and from the school has increased. So why not focus on these new problems our kids must face. Just an idea...

Written on Man injured in fall at Garden of the Gods:

Looks like people need to be tested for common sense before being allowed into that place.

Written on Facebook redesigns profiles, adds 'timeline' | POLL:

It's not much different, if using the android app just change the top to status updates and it's just like the old thing. It also groups up people, so you can see family only, or friends only...easier to browse I think. Just be patient and mess with it a little, it's not so bad. :) And of course fix those privacy settings...No big deal!

Written on IU Hispanic center target of racial harassment:

What is sad that the Hispanics of our country who were born and raised here...meaning AMERICANS...are taking so much hate from all this. So before you haters yell a racist comment to what you believe is an illegal, why not stop and think for a minute, perhaps that person is an AMERICAN who has had family fight for this country as well. Or perhaps is a veteran themselves. And stop teaching this hate to your children, because it spreads into our schools. Yes illegals shouldn't be here, but how can anyone tell these days who are the illegals and who are not.

Written on UPDATE: Evansville man killed in fall at Garden of the Gods:

Prayers to the family for their loss. I was up there with my family on Sunday too. Didn't know this happened till I just finished reading it...

Written on Why hospital bills remain a big mystery:

My daughter went to the ER a few months ago. Couldn't breath. Because the procedure could have been done at the hospital I work at the insurance company didn't pay very much. I fought back with them arguing that if I had waited any longer to get her to a close ER she could have died. I also threatened to report them to the insurance committee. I later received a revised bill. From $3400 to a little less than $300. Trick is you have to know your rights. Look at your bills closely with a detailed one as well. Check for duplicate charges. That happens quite a bit.

Written on Why hospital bills remain a big mystery:

What's bad is when a doctor orders the exact same test for a 68 year old on a four year old as well. Not a clue what's wrong but orders away like there's no tomorrow. These patients have no idea what's going on because they have no choice but to follow what the doctor says to do. Crazy. Or when they come in for a headache and get the "buffet" of tests.

Written on Does the Indiana law banning texting while driving go far enough?:

How about banning drinking while driving to make our roads safer? Oh yeah, that idea isn't working very well is it?

Written on Evansville man with DUI conviction arrested again:

I know a guy who has had many dui's. I believe about seven or eight. Finally he almost killed someone this last time. All he got was six months in jail and six months on house arrest. Oh, and he is a felon now. I don't think he will ever seriously pay for his drinking and driving till someone dies. It's sad. But just the way the courts do things.

Written on What is to blame for all of the recent flooding?:

in response to HowISeeIt:

(PART 2 OF 2)
5. What does all this matter if we do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Many of you deny Christ and the God of the Universe! Have you ever looked in a microscope, or a telescope, or watched a nature show? If this does not convince you there is a God, I don't know what would. Why don't current apes change into humans if you think we evolved? Why are there still single cell organisms after "thousands of years" to evolve? Where did all the stars, suns, planets, our galaxy and the millions of other galaxies come from? The "big bang"? Give me a break! If there was a bang, where did all the stuff that supposedly came out of it come from. Some One had to put it there and it was God!
6. Go ahead and deny the existence of God and the Resurrection of Christ from the dead. Some day it will be too late for you to change your mind, and you will spend eternity banished from enjoying the awesome glory of God. God created us to have fellowship with Him, as he did with Adam and Eve before their sin. But because of the sin of Adam and Eve, we must live on earth, toil for food, endure pain in childbirth, suffer the loss of friends and family, etc. But through Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later, He paid the penalty for our sin and offers us His righteousness for our sinfulness, also known as "THE GREAT SWAP". Don't be foolish and reject a loving God who has provided a way for you to earn a place in heaven enjoying the Holiness of the almighty God. I beg of you to search your heart, talk to a friend, seek out a pastor and ask yourself: If God did create the universe (who else could have), and if he sent his only Son Jesus Christ to die and rise again in 3 days to provide you with the greatest swap you could ever make, then don't you think He could also be preparing a place for us in heaven? I do, and I plan on being there! Won't you join me? Think about it, get serious, look at the wonder of our world and the galaxies, and then acknowledge you are a sinner, ask God to forgive you of your sins, ask Him to come into your heart, and then get connected by attending a bible-teaching church.
Get with other Christians and grow in your faith. You're pains, problems, worries, etc won't evaporate and go away, but you'll realize a new-found joy, that of communion with Jesus Christ, our Saviour, the lamb of God who sacrificed himself for you, yes you! Call (866)NEEDHIM for more help and answers to questions. The staff there will help you without putting pressure on you.

Written on Dems threaten to stay away from Indiana House for remainder of session | AUDIO, POLL:

Pathetic. Democrats are humiliating our government. I wonder if Obama is embarassed yet. If the dems want to make a point, then go voice it, don't run and hide.

Written on House standoff continues; Senate works on | LAWMAKERS:

Shameful. Treat these cowards like any other hard working American...if we don't show up for work we get fired. They shouldn't continue to get paid with our tax dollars for not doing their job. It's not an act of bravery they are doing, but an act of selfishness. If they want to prove their point or stand up for what they believe then they should do their JOB that they were elected to do. Pathetic.

Written on Cost of Dems' flight set at $90,000 | POLL:

My grandparents were proud to be Democrats, I believe that they would be embarrassed by the cowards that call themselves democrats. I hate that my tax dollars are paying for their cowardly behavior. If they don't want to do their job, treat them like any other employee who skips out on their job and fire them!!!

Written on Latino caucus urges action against pending House bill:

radioman47635...I completely understand what you are saying, but the problem is that there are so many people that are so angry with our government right now. And no matter how much you try to rationalize it, they won't change their minds. They will just continue to take it out on the ones they deem are at fault. My grandfather spoke mostly spanish, he was a citizen, he worked in fields, he fought in WWII and Korea, but if he were alive walking the streets of Evansville today I would bet he would get dirty looks. He earned the purple heart. He put his blood,sweat and tears into his work and family, but all that wouldn't matter right now. I agree that the majority of illegals here are just trying to give their children a good life, but the reality is they are still here illegally. And not just from Mexico. There are illegals from many different countries, such as Canada, Holland, etc. I wish there were some easy solution. But there isn't. So many in this beautiful country won't see past their hate. Unfortunately this hatred is only going to spread to their children and into the schools, and the innocent children who have nothing to do with this problem are the ones who are also going to have to suffer.

Written on Mother of malnourished, dehydrated child jailed:

Sometimes it's just too hard to read the news. What's wrong with people? I could ask the question why till I am out of breath, but there would never be an answer. Children are the most beautiful gift from God. They are worth so much. I am speechless. I wish sterilization would be considered.

Written on Census data show Hispanic influx propelled Indiana's growth to 6.6 percent:

Just remember people, you can't count illegals as part of the growth according to the census. They are not going to fill out the form for fear of deportation. And if you still have a problem with Hispanics moving to Indiana...get over it! We are not all illegal. I pay my taxes like every other hard working American. And I am going to live where I want to.

Written on Immigration bill puts Indiana in Arizona camp | READ BILL, ARIZONA LAW:

I am a hispanic. I don't care if a cop needs to see my ID. Big deal. They do it for so many other things. But I only ask parents to do one thing... please speak to your kids about this situation the right way. Because they are listening. And it is carrying on into our schools. My son gets the worst part of it all. Racial comments about his heritage all the time. It hurts him. He is only a child, but has to hear other kids calling him "filthy stupid mexican", he isn't even from Mexico. I don't like how our country is supporting illegal immigrants, but your children are listening and looking to you to guide them. Please guide them in the right direction. Because the innocent legal children are suffering due to the ignorance of parents who just speak out of anger and frustration. My son was beat up because of it as well. He is an honor student. And I love him with all my heart. I want him to be successful just as I am, and my family before me. I ask everyone to just be aware of what you are saying and how you go about it. Thank you.

Written on Vanderburgh County eyes tougher smoking ban:

Go ahead and talk your talk smokers. Your tune will change when you are lying in a hospital bed and can't breath. Coughing up black *&$%. Miserable because you can't get comfortable with the tube hanging out of your throat to help you breath. It's the same thing everytime. So go ahead and smoke away...age rapidly...kill's a free country anyway right?

Written on LETTER: Good acts don't excuse bad ones:

I agree. My husband and I work hard and we are barely making ends meet. To know that there are "volunteers" who can spend tax dollars so lavishly upon themselves is like a slap in the face.

Written on Ritzy's Fantasy of Lights revenue slips, still delivers for Easter Seals:

I have taken my family to see the light show for three years in a row, I do it mostly to help the Easter Seals. I don't think we will be going next year, it's just getting old and boring now. A little change would help. Also, make sure ALL the lights are working...there were a few displays which didn't work very well at all. :( My kids were a bit disappointed.

Written on Congresswoman raises two fingers, gives thumbs-up :

I wish everyone making political comments would stop already. This is a story about a woman who is recovering from a gunshot to the head. People lost their lives. A child lost hers as well. I hope the families can stay strong if they ever had to read such rediculous comments. May God keep the victims and their families in his blessings.

Written on Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shot; 6 dead, more wounded:

When it comes down to it, this woman was someone's wife, mother, sister, and perhaps aunt. May she rest in peace. And may her family find some type of peace as well knowing that she has gone to a better place. May all the other innocent victims also find peace. God bless all the victims and their families of such a horrible act of violence.

Written on Latest census shows Tri-State's Hispanic population is growing | NEWSMAKERS:

I wish most of the people who make completely irrational comments would get out of the state a little more. This country has so many languages spoken by so many different cultures, and it is a good thing. There is no perfect "people", because just by reading this paper you can read about white people selling meth, black people assaulting others, and yes even hispanics doing some bad things. No one is perfect. And to judge one culture because of some bad seeds is so wrong. All you will end up doing is missing out on the good that is accomplished by the people of different cultures. I haven't seen one place written on the constitution that english must be the only language here in America.
One more thing..."bottomline" the little hispanic kids aren't the only ones using foul language, get over it.

Written on Christmas gift: Veteran gives fellow vet home for holiday:

Great story. My grandfather served in Germany and Korea. He once told me about a fellow soldier and friend who saved his life when his squad was ambushed by German soldiers. I am thankful for that, because I got to grow up with my grandpa. Merry Christmas to all the vets and to all the soldiers who fight for our country.

Written on Fewer jobless claims cap strong week for economy:

I may be wrong, but maybe the jobless claims have decreased because people are running out of funds to claim. My husband had to stop his claims, and it wasn't because he found a job, he ran out of money to be able to claim. Thank God he is working now. Minimum wage, but we are thankful for the income. Something is better than nothing.

Written on Police: Man pulled over for headlights, arrested for drunken driving:

It doesn't matter how many idiots are taken off the streets. It doesn't even matter how many cops do their job too. Why? Because the prosecutors will just give them a slap on the hand and the judge is going to let them go anyway.
