'Out of His Doggone Mind'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

"Makes you wonder about the people who choose to defend him....I don't know how you call what he did a 'mistake.'" -

"As a person who was a student at Great Oak this quote still sticks with me today, not because of who said it but because of what it means." -

"Predictable. Nothing like wasting an opportunity for discourse with a politically easy decision & a little paint. I haven't been to the school in years, but I suggest a review of every perosn who is painted on the walls, & then we can move to the library & start collecting books that are detrimental to children." -

"Great project, as they started work again this morning at 6:00 making a tremendous amount of noise, waking up my children! Extremely inconsiderate neighbors! Town government, both past and present, should be ashamed." -

"This kid apparently doesn't realize that this kind of thing will follow him for the rest of his life? He must have been out of his doggone mind!!! What was he thinking? Part of me is mad as hell and another part of me (being a parent) feels tremendously bad for this kid. Obviously, he made a terrible judgement call. Sperm of the moment kind of thing. I hope he get some help!!!!" -

"Now is an excellent time to ponder whether - warrnaty or not - we need a replacement dog and the resulting expense and human cost. From what I have seen in the papers, 90 percent plus of use was for marijuana busts of New Canaan's youth. Now that marijuana possession is a 'ticket' offense, perhaps the dog is better used in another town where it can be used for more practical purposes like fighting real crime. Would we buy a dog to snuff out jay walking ? I think not. Goodbye Zira and have a happy life !" -

"It's not hypocrisy when different branches of the Government have a different interpretation of the constitutional power that permits the passage of a law. I predict that the GOP strategy of requesting our votes so they can overturn Obamacare will backfire." -

"Sounds like mismanagement, again. We can put cameras at a landfill and on the back of school buses but not in a crime ridden neighborhood to offer up more eyes to stop crime and violence while putting a new playground for $250,000 where one could have been repaired for less than $20,000.... poor fiscal management and disgusting priorities!" -

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
