#2 Why is this guy walking the streets?

#3 I saw mention of this, but really haven't had a chance to follow it as was local news and traveling a lot recently. Sounds like he's gunna be in deep water for this so good.

Colorado is also footing a grass roots anti-imigration bill locally. CO will no longer pay services for illegals. 68K signatures are needed to get it on the ballot, given mood around here of late that should be no problem.

I believe, except for the few square miles of un-reality that is Boulder, most people in CO are fed up with the BS ... if presented an alternative via ballots and what not they will take it.

I am guessing this is true in most real America, people don't know how to start the momentum, but once started they'll jump in board instantly.

#4 Time for the good people of Fort Lupton to make their voices heard - this guy sounds like;
a) someone who shouldn't be involved in the finances of the city and
b) an arsehole

#6 No mention of party affiliation. Curious, that.

Here's a pic of the jerk..

#8 Ah, Boulder... Ancient memories of a simpler, freer, more vacuous time... rolling in the park grass, I "could feel her breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes she said yes I will Yes." and then came the Free Clinic and salvation...

But I've grown up and pay taxes now. Nuke it.

#9 This guy's an ass who needs a few midnight visitors. But then the people of Colarado don't much care for our military so this is no big surprise and the people will be more worried about some woodpecker than the men and women who give them freedom.

#10 It seems the good people elected a thief as Mayor. I bet the town accounts are a mess. Every taxpayer in town must be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

#11 Fort Lupton is just north of Denver a few miles, about on the same level as Boulder. It used to be referred to disparagingly as "hippieville". Most of the people live there and work in Denver, although there are still a few working farms and ranches to the northeast.

This mayor is a jerk, and needs to do six months or so in the slammer for contempt of court. If I were the parents of this Marine, I'd file a lein against this guy's mortuaries and anything else he owns.

As for Coloradans' "not caring much" about the military, there are about 400,000 retirees and 125,000 active-duty, reserve, and Guard folks in the state, and most of them care a LOT about the military. The closer you get to Boulder and Fort Collins, however, the fewer people care about military.

#12 that kind of "dan't care about the miltary" is used in CA too. F*&k you and your ignorance if you use it again.

#13 OP, your right in my over generalization here about the people of CO, I stand corrected. The fact that a guy can blow off a judge sounds like old, 70's, Fayetteville and really gets me pissed. If a soldier blew off the judgement, the mayor would have his sheriff buddy throw his soldier ass in jail and back in front of the judge. This just reeks of a community leadership bigotry that has no respect for soldiers.

#14 or law in general. Lien his funeral home, private home and vehicles. Gotta be an atty who will do it pro bono. Regarding blanket accusations of Caliphornication: 2 of my neighbors (2 tours Iraq- Marines, each) and 1 - Navy retired/reserve discussed this and ....let's say...they disagree

#15 My guess is that he already has other debts that take legal precedence and that exceed the value of his assets. He's acting like someone who is in virtual bankruptcy, i.e. figuring he has nothing to lose financially at this point by refusing to make good on the money, because there's nothing to be gotten from a lawsuit or a lien.

#16 I wonder what his kidneys etc. would be worth on the market? 'Cause he shouldn't need functioning organs anymore after pulling this kind of sh**.

#18 No mention of the Military bozos for giving away the guys money?

Why would they give someone access to a soldiers bank account regardless of whether he is dead or not.

Typical gang mentality....
