    That is exactly why I asked if was only city officials/Gov. employees that couldn’t be trusted….was trying to get him to clarify…

    “Thinking Outloud” what I read from DCE was that ONLY city officials or/and Government Employees were thieves and were the ONLY people that couldn’t be trusted….
    I am not saying that some of them aren’t crooks, same as from any kind of business.

    “Thinking Outloud” Could you please point out the word “Only” in my comments I’m having trouble finding it…..

    Why in the Hell does this Thief get 45 days, when any one else would get the book? Does he have to pay restitution? For God sakes!!!! WTF is WRONG WITH PEOPLE>>>>

    Thinking out loud, You appear to talk tooooo much! Seems that you are a little bitter about the facts involving a mass amount of Washington State and Lewis County officials. Perhaps you should spend more time Thinking, and Reading instead of spouting off when other people state the FACTS.
    Some of us refuse to ignore the over abundant amount of Corruption going on with the so called idiots in charge. I don’t know about you, but I will back up and join any other who will stand up for OUR RIGHTS!
    What Officials do is just as Criminal as what a Criminal does. Stomping on We the Peoples Rights. I suppose this is where the oxy moron “Honest Crime” would fit in…….Its a F****ing Crime, a drug is a drug is a drug, a crime is a crime is a crime. Please don’t confuse the 2, as it appears you often do.

    Ya know…seems no one wants to respect ones freedom of speech…take their right away and you’re messing with your own…who’ll be next? As for this theft, ripping off a dead person is cold…I woulda gave him a lot more time…see…I woulda taken advantage of my power…if I had any! 🙂

    DCE, apparently you only read or watch the part of the news you want to—–all kinds of people, from all walks of life, with all kinds of jobs, or no jobs at all…are thieves. Not all of them are fluoride users either, I bet!
    Your spouting on here is really a pain..all you do is repeat yourself..constantly.
    Is your own website not enough to push the info you want to get across??
    Maybe if you didn’t come across as such a wacko people would be interested in what you had to say…..

    Yes I’m serious. The proof is in the Article another city offical has been caught for corruption. Lets recap the last year. Timberland Library offical caught mis using funds, Chehalis History Museum employee caught abusing funds now a Coroner stealing from the dead. Oh and lets not forget about the Lewis County Jail staff employee that was having sexual relations with a inmate a few years back… When you give people power it goes to there head, it’s human nature…..

  9. Thinking Outloud says:

    DCE…it’s only city officials or WA. State employees you can’t trust? Everyone else is ok? All the thefts we read about and see on TV are being done by State and city employees in WA??
    Are you serious?!?

  10. Dirty Cop Enforcer says:

    Like I said you cannot trust city officials or Government Employee’s. The proof is in their criminal actions…..Stealing from the dead is pathetic! But hey what can you expect from a Washington State Employee… My prayers go to the deceased and family.
