Police reports say that the young ladies hid their car in a tree grove 500 yards from the house.
well i didn't necessarily mean that Dog... more like, a man's home is his castle type thing..
in other words.. that beings the incident took place on her private property it had bearing on the ruling?
that's my hope... because otherwise it should have been tossed out. and probably should have been anyway.
Do you really believe that?
Just so you know, I had nothing to do with that jump person being banned. I don't hit the abuse button and didn't know he was gone until just now.
And while we're on the subject, I think you're being far too generous to that person by saying he "challenged" me. He insulted and mocked me but still, I don't hit abuse and was pleased to let his posts speak for themselves.
You mean they hid in their car and watched the woman freak out? Is that what you're contending?
Or are you saying they hid in the car and watched the police arrive?
Since we don't have pictures of graphics, that's the only place to park at the lady's house.
to be more clear - i only agree with the ruling if it was based on private property ownership in some way. i don't know if it was..
Read the article, dude. The homeowner looked out the window and saw no vehicle in the drive. The girls had parked behind the trees 500 yards away from the house.
You're insinuating some devious intention on the part of these girls when everyone with the IQ above a snail's now knows otherwise.
ya know what? i think there is a certain type of person that "get's" that what these girls did isn't all that smart..
lol
maybe it's us gals that feel we have a right to protect ourselves in our home - or even on our property?
i have done that before. of course i had a shotgun with me.. lol.. and thus didn't feel scared at all.. lol..
this is funny..
Somebody called jumptime disagreed with cyncooper and got banned. That's why I was "implying" it, as you put it.
People get banned becasue of their remarks; not because of one poster.
And cyncooper wasn't the only person who "disagreed" with that poster.
Two points:
1: I never said that anyone in CO can kill anyone who come to their door.
2: there is no such statute.
Glad to hear that. I'm the same way, unless the poster in question is attempting to discredit Jim or FR.
I don't know why half the posts in this site get pulled myself. I think a mod or two wears skivvies that are a few sizes too small.
Here is why I don't agree for the most part.
First, this woman is obviously a neighbor. Now a country neighbor to be sure, but she was one of only 9 houses they left cookies at. They identified themselves on the paper heart, so she could have just called their folks. Even if she didn't know her neighbors, it would be pretty simple to realize it was some neighbors who left the cookies and it could have been discussed without calling the sheriff's office.
Second, this was done in the summer. With daylight lasting until well after 9pm in many areas, it's not unreasonable to see that they could have started their "deliveries" while still dusk. They also had enough sense to leave alone houses that did not have lights on.
Third, this woman was not "alone" as has been implied by some people. She had her daughter (18 I believe) and mother in the house with her. Neither daughter nor grandma had these "anxiety attacks", only the 49 year old woman. This is not a realistic explanation of why she had to go to the hospital and then high a gunsl... lawyer. She was in it for the money, flat out.
Did the girls make a mistake? Yeah, but not even a punishable mistake in my opinion. Just a stern warning from the folks that running around after dark isn't a good idea and others can feel anxious about late night knocks at the door.
That's why I think the law shouldn't have even been brought into this.
Is this your post?
The neighbour is obviously a witch, and deserves much of the scorn she is recieving, but the girls could be dead right now too, legally killed in self defense.
Denver Co had sunset at 8:14pm on July 31, 2004. So it was probably dark by 9pm even in the mountains.
