From our website Reader comment The following is an edited selection of reader comments posted at the end of stories and columns published on-line. More can be found at www.cdispatch.com. Teen sentenced to 25 years on fatal DUI charges Stankylegs: If this had gone to trial, we could learn the blood alcohol levels of everyone in the vehicle. Personally, I think everyone in the vehicle should be charged; everyone in that vehicle knew the driver had been drinking and had been drinking themselves. They are all responsible. I agree, KJ705. Treasure’s brother let her ride without wearing a seatbelt — in his lap. Is he charged with anything? Charlie Mitchell: Mississippi remains reliably friendly to firearms owners Str8_Shooter: Ruffian, Mr. Mitchell calls for civil discourse, the CDispatch requests reasonable discussion. I recommend everyone try to be a bit more tolerant of differing views. Hawaii has historically had a low rate of homicide regardless of the tool, weapon or appendage used. The state is largely made up of ethnic groups, which have a very low rate of violence in general regardless of any laws they may be living under. The same ethnic groups living on the mainland have similar low violence rates. Second, you really should read Clayton Cramers’ “The Racist Roots of Gun Control” published in the Kansas Journal of Law and Public Policy. Just Google the title, you’ll find it. Third, no criminologist, nor any reasonable person for that matter, believes that the measure of defensive gun use is the justifiable homicide body count.
