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 Lala (anonymous) on February 22, 2008 at 2:29 p.m. (Suggest removal)
Hmmm.... it seems to me that alot of times people are getting busted for meth there seems to be a certain someone that's staying with them at the time! Maybe it's time to bust that person too!!!!

Chrreed:
I don't know about you, but I want that crap out of our community. Any undercover cop that is out there trying to get meth out of Ottertail county (which I believe is highly unlikely) is a hero. And while you may call someone a snitch for turning a person in, I think we should start giving out free trips to treatment and cash rewards for anyone who gives tips that lead to real meth and crack-cocaine arrests.

Yeah agreed... if there is a undercover cop around busting people we need more of them. Cash rewards would be good or anything that can lessen this crap around here....and WTH Lala, whowhat, and chrreed? are you a bunch of methed out crackheads too? Why the hell would you care of people are getting busted?? Sounds like you are users or dealing or something. I wish the police were smart enough to look at your daily journal registration to figure out who you are.

Well for your info 'Werty', I am definately not into meth. Also, the person I am referring to, is someone who definately needs to get busted so she can get into treatment. That's the only way she will go. She has lost her kids, her house, and everything else. I don't feel sorry for her, I just want her off the streets and to quit selling the meth and get some help (for her kids sake). So before you start to point fingers at people, you need to know who you are dealing with.

Sounds like you have a bit of "inside" info to me... hence your comment below (refering to a certain someone..well who is it?). Gee...what is a person supposed to think with a cryptic comment like yours below:

Whatever, take it as you want to. I cannot just throw the name out there, the police know who it is. Ya know, when there is drugs involved you can't just "throw names" out there for the public. Anyways, sounds like you just like to pick people apart if you ask me. All I am saying is that hopefully soon this certain 'someone' will get busted too, just like the rest of them.
