Breaking News!

[Remington Ashby]

This site only berates individuals in the town attempting to do their jobs, with some other focuses on events unrelated to Ludington.  Was the "torch" selected because you, Tom Rotta, just want to burn down the town's reputation due to some childish grudge you hold for events in the past?  Or, do you just like to stir up drama and criticize public officials for doing their jobs?  The world needs positive members of society now more than ever, and not your semi-incoherent rants on matters that don't concern you and only degrade the validity of this website.  Try disconnecting your Internet, go outside, and actually do something positive for the community instead of just bitching all the time.

Isn't it special when somebody joins an established website and chides the administrator for berating individuals (and in full disclosure, I do some berating of those 'attempting' to do their public jobs-- and failing in those attempts) and then goes on to berate the administrator.  

Some would find fault with my disclosure of a person's name after their death, and well after the sheriff disclosed the name to family members.  They then may join the site, Like "Remington" just has, and disclose my personal name, even though I go by the name XLFD on this website.  We too have rules here that say:  Members agree not to use the Ludington Torch "in a manner that includes personal or identifying information about another person without that person's explicit consent."  Violation of those rules can get you thrown off the website for not playing fair.

I never gave Remington my explicit consent to use my Christian name.  Now, isn't that hypocritical of him/her to join and rally support to his/her cause when they are guilty of what they were upset about?

Fortunately, I'm educated enough to discern the difference between true public servants and those involved only for personal gain.  A Masters in Political Science slightly helped my understanding and interpretation of the law of the land.  Is that good enough, or am I now corrupted as well?  It isn't that someone as "uneducated" as myself cannot comprehend these forum discussion, but rather we recognize the lack of value they bring to a community.  After reading some posts further, it's evident that some include slander and libel against the Sheriff who if inclined, could sue you for defamation of character.  It's something you may want to consider in the future.  Also, thank you for showing your education level by referencing a conspiracy theory.

Ha, well played Remington.

A masters in  political science? That's the next step down from a septic tank certification. I hope your parents didn't pay for your education because they certainly thru away their retirement money on it. You might as well have gotten a degree in Phallus studies for all the good an education has done for you.

I think this meme is extra applicable, especially since it introduces the new word "conduncted" and it refers to a higher level of achievement than Remington made in the field of PS:

If we want to talk about people being uneducated, I would point to X. Releasing a subjects name before the police is not only rude, but immature. Thinking your forum has more relivence and facts than the Sheriffs Office proves your education level. I know it's probably hard to sit back and let others do their job, while others sit back behind their keyboard, searching for the next way to make a dollar off a lawsuit. I could think of a half a dozen reasons why the police wouldn't release a subjects name right away. We have seen it take 24-48 hours on accidents for the police to release people's names, didn't see you get all butt hurt about that X? Must be that time of year to try getting attention to yourself. Everyone will now be prepared for your FOIA on this case and I'm sure there will be some sort of issue you don't agree with. Holiday season is coming up, time for X to make some money off the real tax payers.

'Relivence' ?!  Could you mean 'relevance'?

Next time, have your spell check on when you come here and talk about me being uneducated.  Grammar check and punctuation check would be helpful too, just sayin'.  It will help make your other unfounded points look better to your fellow trolls, as well.  Thanks, and thank your buddies who continue to keep us safe by keeping us ignorant.

The classic move of when you are proven wrong. Start throwing mud and name calling when you have nothing else to say.
Great answer about my comment of the police not releasing names of accident victims right away. Like I said, we have all read the news and have waited 24-48 hours for accident victims. Because I'm giving examples means they aren't buddies? Maybe it's because I have an open mind and don't look at every damn thing in the city and county as a coverup or corruption. I agree with Remington, if it's so bad here, then move. Or be like anti Trump citizens and kick and scream how bad everything is, but continue to stay. Must not be that bad I guess.....

Just curious, why would you do something so rude and release the name before the police? You claimed yourself as a journalist, pretty sure that's very poor journalism. Just trying to figure out if you are in a fantasy world or if there are a few things upstairs just not firing all on the same cylinder.

Rupert must be dumber than the sheriff.

The FAMILY put his name out there!!!!

Shit, they had THREE DONATION CANS and a GOFUNDME out before the Sheriff even cared!

Mr Pubkin. I would be honored if you would share the half a dozen reasons why the police wouldn't release a subjects name right away. The catch is they have to relate to this case and not be some obscure reason such as a victim being found under Shay's back porch.

[John Doe Jr]

Save Ludington!

Release the names....

[John Doe Jr]

Well, Go talk to Rob Alway then,,,,,,,

Rob Alway Why put his past in this article? Because the choices he made in his past not only impacted his ultimate outcome, but also put the public at risk. He made the choice to go onto public property, property owned by the school, which ultimately exists for our community's children.

Cherri Jensen do you know something we don't know, because you seem pretty sure that his past caused his death, you did say his past impacted his ultimate outcome, just curious how you would know that information, last I knew the police don't even have that information yet, they are still waiting for test results.
