'Out of His Doggone Mind'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

"Makes you wonder about the people who choose to defend him....I don't know how you call what he did a 'mistake.'" -

"As a person who was a student at Great Oak this quote still sticks with me today, not because of who said it but because of what it means." -

"Predictable. Nothing like wasting an opportunity for discourse with a politically easy decision & a little paint. I haven't been to the school in years, but I suggest a review of every perosn who is painted on the walls, & then we can move to the library & start collecting books that are detrimental to children." -

"Great project, as they started work again this morning at 6:00 making a tremendous amount of noise, waking up my children! Extremely inconsiderate neighbors! Town government, both past and present, should be ashamed." -

"This kid apparently doesn't realize that this kind of thing will follow him for the rest of his life? He must have been out of his doggone mind!!! What was he thinking? Part of me is mad as hell and another part of me (being a parent) feels tremendously bad for this kid. Obviously, he made a terrible judgement call. Sperm of the moment kind of thing. I hope he get some help!!!!" -

"Now is an excellent time to ponder whether - warrnaty or not - we need a replacement dog and the resulting expense and human cost. From what I have seen in the papers, 90 percent plus of use was for marijuana busts of New Canaan's youth. Now that marijuana possession is a 'ticket' offense, perhaps the dog is better used in another town where it can be used for more practical purposes like fighting real crime. Would we buy a dog to snuff out jay walking ? I think not. Goodbye Zira and have a happy life !" -

"It's not hypocrisy when different branches of the Government have a different interpretation of the constitutional power that permits the passage of a law. I predict that the GOP strategy of requesting our votes so they can overturn Obamacare will backfire." -

"Sounds like mismanagement, again. We can put cameras at a landfill and on the back of school buses but not in a crime ridden neighborhood to offer up more eyes to stop crime and violence while putting a new playground for $250,000 where one could have been repaired for less than $20,000.... poor fiscal management and disgusting priorities!" -

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.

I'm o n Butterfield. No sightings here. Any specifics as to her location?

Norma has been spotted this morning at the intersection of Kenan and Currituck. The red leash isRead More still attached. She was trying to eat a dead squirrel on Currituck. Very skittish, but still in the neighborhood (yay). Please watch for her. My husband and sister-in-law (who first spotted her on Currituck this morning) were unable to get near her. She's in the woods, heading toward Butterfield. Her foster mom is on the scene now. Folks in the neighborhood, please watch for her and call 203-942-4008 if you see her.

Carolee Mason (Newtown's Animal Control Officer) is watching her from her car at the moment, armedRead More with catfood to tempt her closer. The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
