    "A woman was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend after she called 911 and tried to get an officer at her home. Her call was transferred to the state police because the sheriff's department isn't staffed 24 hours a day or seven days a week, the station said. A dispatcher for the state police said, "Uh, I don't have anybody to send out there. You know, obviously, if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away?""

    (CNN) -- Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is considering legislation that would declare a public safety emergency in some Oregon counties where residents often have been left to try to fend for themselves. The measure would also impose a temporary income tax on residents of counties unable to pay for public safety workers due to budget cuts.

    The Westboro Baptist Church, the controversial group known for protesting outside funerals of slain U.S. service members, announced that it will picket a vigil for the victims of Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the second-deadliest school shooting in American history.

    I don't condone the activities of this group but they have freedom of speech and the right to do whatever they want with it no matter how hateful it is and people could have private funerals

    They should leave people be, to bad they most likely never will, Because the parents can't even stop them without likely being sued by Westboro.

    I do not agree with their way of think about homosexuals. I think that the church should mind their own business in their own sate. The parents and everyone should just ignore the Westboro Church.

    It is sad that this church will stoop this low to get their (totally invalid) point across. They are a bunch of idiots if you ask me.
  • jessicavaldez on 18 Dec 12
     
    I think that they have the right to be there, but they should understand that this is not a good time to do this. They should understand how hard it must be for their parents, and would feel the same way if one of their children died. I also do not agree with the fact they blame homosexuality for all the problems and say God hates America. In reality God does not hate anyone because we are all his children.
  • Melissa Christensen on 18 Dec 12
     
    I can truly see the side of the Westboro Baptist Church but it does not mean that I agree with it. I find that America itself has quite a few strange beliefs itself defended by these rights. I don't have any means to go against these rights.
  • Melissa Diaz-Aguilera on 18 Dec 12
     
    I think that they have the ability to not allow the Church to protest.
  • Dylan Garner on 19 Dec 12
     
    I'm all for free speech. But I think there should definitely be a line drawn as where freedom of speech ends.
  • Mallory Huggins on 19 Dec 12
     
    I hope they lose their tax-exempt status. Here's an article with more information on their 501(c)3 status and how they could lose it. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/westboro_baptist_churchs_tax-exempt_status_challenged_20121218/ Personally, I think their protests are clearly staged with the intent to influence politics. (They want gay marriage outlawed)

    Even if this was a rebuttal to what I posted I think that's a good thing that you put this up. I tend to post news stories that my friends/family send me so I may not always find stories that show views from the other side. It's important to look at issues from all sides to form a proper opinion on things.

    Re "Apple execs grilled over tax strategy," Business, May 22 Unbelievable, stunning, incredible that members of Congress have the audacity to bring the chief executive of one of the most successful companies this country has ever seen to grill him on Apple Inc.'s tax strategy (which, by the way, is perfectly legal) so they can try to wring more money out of him.

    The minimum wage shouldn't be raised because giving everyone more money is the same as not giving anyone anything.

    i like that the minimum wage is being brought up
  • Daniel Bonner on 04 Dec 13
     
    I don't know if moving Minimum Wage up is a good idea because than the prices of everything will go up. But if they keep moving the Wage up and things stay the same price than thats a good idea.
  • jsteenbock23 on 04 Dec 13
     
    If we increase the minimum wage then the cost of living will go up, taxes, and businesses will be able to increase their prices.
  • deahnna on 05 Dec 13
     
    There's pros and cons to moving minimum wage up. The cost of living, taxes, and products will go up, because they have to pay people more to make the goods or provide the services. It's a tricky situation, but it really wont change much.
  • Pedro Valdez on 05 Dec 13
     
    Probably not a good idea because then businesses would be able to increase the price on almost everything. But if everything stays the way it is and nothing but the minimum wage goes up it would be fine.
  • jkeller068 on 05 Dec 13
     
    It's not worth It..because everything else will go up to match the new wages..so it would be as if nothing happened.
  • nlarsen15 on 06 Dec 13
     
    Isn't this borderline inflation? More money given making the value go down and (as the dude above me) everyone else will raise the wages of everything else?
