I will NEVER vote for a candidate so unreliable!

Jesus, you scared me for a minute there.

you’re not alone. when I was 10, an 11 year old boy in the next classroom was killed by a pedophile. I think that murder sticks with every child from the neighborhood, to this day.

I was 8 and living in Minnesota when this happened. It’s bothered me my entire life. I cried this morning when I read it, which is unusual for me. The only positive to come out of this is Patty Wetterling’s tireless advocacy for missing children. My porch light is on.

37 year old father of two from Minnesota here. Jacob Wetterling’s abduction changed the lanscape of my childhood. It did that for a lot of kids. He wasn’t an urban myth. He was a kid riding his bike with his brother and a friend when he was taken. After Jacob Wetterling went missing, the world looked really different…

Oh, the pain. The hope destroyed. As a mom, I look at his picture, and it kills me.

I couldn’t stand the Oprah Winfrey Show, but I remember a suitemate loved her and I think I watched that episode. The law enforcement expert said never let them take you to a second location. I’ve never forgotten that.

Growing up in Minnesota, Jacob’s name is burned into my brain. I still thought of him a few times a year. I hope this brings some sort of peace or comfort to the Wetterling family. I doubt it, but one can hope.

I was 5 when Wetterling went missing. You’re not wrong. There’s not a kid born in the 80's here whose life wasn’t shaped by this tragedy. Obviously, this wasn’t the outcome we all hoped for, but I’m so glad for his family that this ordeal is over. This was one of those things that I didn’t think would ever be solved,…

I’m only slightly exaggerating when I say that my state heaved a collective sigh of relief and cried at the same time. I was so worried that his parents were never going to get any type of closure in their lifetimes.

Oh god why this again. As someone who was long stuck in the greys, I make a point of reading the pending comments and bring people out when I can. Fuck this fucking troll.

I would hope not! Both the states I have voted in since my 20s have paper ballots, counted by mechanical counters. I think the voter registration rolls that the nice white-haired old ladies use to check and make sure that you are registered are printed out right after the registration deadline passes, and are then…

“Also, this could have been a test of some sort.”

“on a scale of one to 10, this threat was an “eight.”

Yeah, there was a mass ungreying this week and I’m now approved on The Slot and Pictorial. So now I don’t have to beg to be ungreyed on every post!

Fellow Mainer here, and you fucking NAILED it.

“I have binders full of” should never be followed by inserting a specific demographic of people.

I live in Maine, LePage isn’t competent enough to be a villain, even in a low-budget mob. He’s more like the protagonist’s idiotic crappy boss in an 80s workplace comedy. R-rated of course, because of the cursing.

“Friggin’”? Really?!

This is what happens when an evil piece of shit dreamed up by Stephen King in one of his 288 novels somehow comes to life and governs a state.
