Written on GLOSSARY: Foods of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival:

Wow how some people can turn a week of fun into such a disaster. You don't like the bad for you food or the crazy people, staay home but don't ruin it for everyone else. And no I wasn't there, live too far away now. Secretly I think the naysayers are all Eastsiders.

Written on UPDATE: Man convicted in gruesome slaying set for release :

Sadly he probably will kill again when gets out and maybe then they will keep him for good. I know someone that just spent 5 years incarcerated and is getting 5 years probation for being caught with a very small amount of drugs. Tell me our laws aren't screwed up.

Written on New Christian Fellowship pastor has left the staff:

The stories I could tell if I didn't think would be found out.

Written on Evansville man accused of locking children out of apartment:

For the life of me I don't understand these females who put a "man" before their own children. I just don't get it.

Written on Pizza shop features West Side flavor:

Why is it everybody is so jealous of the Westside of Evansville?

Written on Evansville man claims he, friend are suspects in police threat case:

Anybody feel bad for the kids being brought into this environment?

Written on 75-year-old Indiana woman admits killing son-in-law :

I too would like to know the circumstances of the shooting. It seems off to me that this 75 year old woman just decided one day to kill another person, relative or not. If there is no trial, will the reason she shot him be released? I feel bad for her either way considering the things some people do and get little or no time in prison.

Written on Boy slips out of float ring, drowns in pool:

Very sad to have to read of so many drownings every year. RIP little man.

Good one....LOL

Written on Judge: Prosecutors can talk of slain Indiana family:

Let's hope the murderer gets to stay where he is, in prison.

I wish they had shown her picture, I think I may know her but not sure. RIP Rachel

Written on Vanderburgh County home invasion victim told police he was 'trying to kill' suspects | PDF:

Ira is a hero. I agree with another poster who said any one of us that was able would have done the same thing. The 3 thugs that were involved should be charged with their friends death.

Written on Bar owner disgruntled about smoking ban | POLL:

in response to thisguysays:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Neither is drinking when you really think about it. I would rather be around a smoker any day of the week that a drinker, especially one that can't hold their liquor. Liquor kills as many if not more than cigarettes. What comes next, our choice of food, or soft drinks that have too much sugar? If we don't stand up now we will soon turn into Nazi Germany. Count on it.

Written on Bowls of popcorn replace ashtrays at one Main Street bar:

I'd rather smoke my cigarettes than eat that germy popcorn. Can you even imagine where most of the hands that dip into the popcorn have been?

Written on Evansville police investigating 'suspicious' death:

Can you spell meth head trash. Wow.

Written on Dentist joins plan that offers affordable care to uninsured:

Although I don't live there I think this is great. Growing up, I went to the dentist ever 6 months and mostly as an adult. Circumstances have changed and I can no longer afford to go very often.

Written on FEMA denies Illinois request for aid in wake of deadly tornado | PDF:

Get all the dead beats off of assistance then maybe these people could be helped.

Written on LETTER: Smoking ban about Americans' rights:

I don't like being around drunks so does that mean no more drinking in public? Get a grip.

Written on Pilot, 72, gets 7 years for flying pot to Southern Indiana :

Amazingly you can molest a kid or kill someone drunk driving and not get this much time. I don't get it.

Written on Patriot Guard, Rolling Thunder welcome Marine home from Afghanistan:

Apparently the Westboro nuts are going to Harrisburg so maybe they will leave this one alone.

Written on Mother receives eight years of probation in felony neglact case :

I sure hope she never gets that little girl back again. Just my opinion but all these idiots that torture their children should get exactly the same punishment.

Written on Relative: Big Cynthiana Road suspect may not survive:

Not to mention that had the 4 gotten away and eventually caught by the police, they would probably gotten their hands slapped and let go. Maybe just maybe someone else planning on doing the same thing will think about what can happen when you go uninvited into someone else's home.

Written on Evansville man accused of battering 4-month-old:

Gotta love that this guy told the police that he "wanted to go home." That being said if all these kids are hers and she doesn't care any more than this for them makes me ill. My son and dil are college educated, own a home and have great jobs but cannot have children yet people like this have kids they can't or won't take care of, I really don't get it. When will the babies come first? I don't let my dogs be out of sight for very long.

Written on Elton John to play at Ford Center :

Wow what a bunch of whiners. I just wish I could afford to drive there and see EJ. Seems like every time I come to this site it is the same old gripes from some of the people here. Roberts Stadium is over and I'm sure the Ford Center is really nice. I just amazed Evansville finally built something new besides a restaurant.

Written on Kissel Center:

This building is named for my Dad.

Written on Newburgh man accused of fraud in buying cars:

The only place I ever buy cars is from Moore's in Owensboro and it doesn't matter how far I have to drive to get there. They are polite, honest, never asked me where my husband was to make the deal. They are over the top when it comes to service. Before I found Moore's, several of the top dealerships in Evansville lost out on selling me brand new cars merely by the way they treated me. As far as the dealerships taking checks, I didn't think anyone took checks anymore but then I don't live there anymore. Cash, debit or credit cards or stay home.

Written on Newburgh man accused of fraud in buying cars:

LMAO MAXIMUM OVERLOAD wins for one of the funniest posts I have seen in a long time. While you are there, get me a new Honda, will you?

Written on Officer says Droste was drunkest driver he'd seen in 16-year career:

Wow I have had some pretty big losses in my life but I don't choose to drink to cover it up so therefore I will never be drinking and driving. I too am happy no one was hurt because I have relatives that live very near where this happened. BTW where was he driving from, just wondering how long he was on the road.

Written on A miracle, courtesy of Mr. G.:

I'm glad the kids had a good time but why in the world would you have 6 children when you obviously can't support one. I only had one and I had a full time job. Think ahead. I feel sorry for those kids not even having a bed.

Written on EDITORIAL: Airport screeners need to be policed in some cases:

I have an idea, very soon all our troops will be coming home, some to no jobs. Let these returning soldiers have the TSA jobs. No doubt they would be much more qualified for these jobs and people would feel safer since they have had a lot of training.

Written on Police: Children were living in cockroach-infested Gibson County, Ind., home:

Why do people have children they cannot support?

Written on Authorities remove children from filthy home, arrest parents:

My bet is that the government could easily get out of debt if there was drug testing for any government help and stop all said payments if the person gets arrested. Someone told me recently that if a person is on disability and they go to prison that the disability payments are "saved" until the person gets out of prison. Anyone know if that is true? If it is I am ...let's just say floored.

in response to robier:

Bet they had cigarettes.

And a cell phone. On Channel 14 the 911 caller said the guy took a pic of the remains of the dead dog with his cell phone.

Written on UPDATED: Santa Claus, Ind., businessman accused of domestic violence:

in response to bm545454:

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)

Unwanted touching is just that, unwanted. So whether he hit her or grabbed her, it's not right. If she was hitting him, that also is not right. I can say that because I don't hit people.


Sorry but this guy is related to the other Koch's? As in Pat is his Mother? What a disgrace. so true

Written on Millions fall from middle class:

It's really all about GREED from top to bottom and we ourselves have created it. We want more than we can afford, we want it 24/7, we've run a lot of small business out of business because of it, the same small businesses that made up America in the first place. That brought unions, big box stores, less quality and in the end, less jobs. I hit the poverty level 10 years ago and I am educated and held good jobs but again the greed comes in to play when companies hire younger people at lesser wages or ships the jobs completely out of the country. The same people that worked for their SS are losing out while illegals and government officials line their own pockets. Politicians promise us the moon but in fact are looking for the permanent payout they get with being elected. It's everybody for themselves, sad but true.

Written on Meeting helps explore options for New Harmony school, students:

A lot of it started when they got rid of the lady principal (sorry forgot her name) She tried to integrate the rich with the poor, the known with the unknown and some folks didn't like that. Even the town cop was not "allowed" to mess with the rich and known kids as they drove away from school in the afternoons. That is exactly why a lot of people took their children out of New Harmony school.

@hmorgan you really don't understand the terms carpetbagger, hoity toity unless you live there.

Written on Police: Phony name tips pharmacist to prescription drug fraud:

in response to Reno1:

It is people like Taylor that make it troublesome for those with legitimate prescriptions to get them filled. I know a disabled veteran that only has a two day window each month to fill his prescription for pain medication. Under no circumstances will the pharmacist fill his prescription even one day earlier. It is very inconvenient for him at times. Last summer this veteran wanted to attend a reunion in another state with military friends who served together in Vietnam but the pharmacy could not fill his prescription just one day early. He went ahead and went to the reunion but told me that he was miserable the entire time without his pain medication. My friend also tells me that ten years ago he could get two months filled at the same time but now he has to plan his life around his refill date because of people like this Taylor.

I know this may sound petty but its just one more example of the collateral damage caused by those who abuse prescription drugs. People like Taylor are very selfish and not only destroy their own lives, the lives of their families and those around them, but also make life miserable for other innocent people like my vet friend.

So true

Written on USI tobacco ban leaves some smokers feeling burned:

Yet the booze flows freely at USI and no says a word about it.

Written on No easy way out for New Harmony Town and Township School:

Unfortunately New Harmony should be turned into a retirement town for the wealthy. School or not, it just costs too much for most people to live there. That would make all the rich cliques happy.

Written on 100 mph run on I-64 ends in arrest:

At least he didn't kill somebody. What is wrong with these idiots?

Written on Missing Indiana student's mom hurt by letter:

What is really sad is that there are some young men, and I use that term loosely, that can't be "convinced" to speak up about what they know. Instead, they chose to run to get attorneys leaving Lauren's parent's to suffer as no one should. Karma will bite one day when they have children of their own and know the pain Lauren's parents are going through. You can bet if my son was involved, he would be talking. I continue to pray for Lauren, her family and friends.

Written on UPDATE: Fire damages West Side restaurant:

in response to BigDogChick:

I know many, many people who love the food, but the Health Inspections is why I don't go there.

Believe me, that can be said about many restaurants. I have seen first hand many places that normally would not pass the health department test if they didn't know the HD was on the way.

Written on Deaths | PUBLIC RECORDS | Aug. 26 to Sept. 24:

How sad that a 33 year old died from alcoholism.

Written on Record year for Fall Festival:

I have been to the FF every one of my 56 years and I personally haven't seen a fight or any trouble there since I was in high school. I feel safe even if I go alone to meet up with others, day or night. Terrific job Nut Clubbers and EPD!!

Written on Five jailed in connection with robbery, beating:

Sounds like a bit of a set up and CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT MOORMAN IS 32 years old????I would have guessed more like in her 50's. So the guys did the beating but the 2 females set him up.....hmmmmmmm.

Written on Restaurant inspections | PUBLIC RECORDS | Aug. 29 to Sept. 2:

It says for private use so maybe they mean it is something brought from home for self consumption?


Those post things you see in front of some stores, restaurants or even the things by gas pumps wuld be a good idea. Seems like this is happening too often lately. Thankfully, no one has been killed.
