Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by silversaloon (anonymous) on March 26, 2008 at 10:13 a.m. (Suggest removal)
what? you call that a sentence? 30 days for a DUI and three times the expense....$10,000 fine for letting people smoke in the bar..... If we want to fight the meth problem they're gonna have to do better than that. I'm sick and tired of Drug possession/sales sentences being a slap on the wrist. Ridiculous.
