1. If they had put half the effort and resources

Into finding one of these girls that they put into
finding the Boston bombing suspect, the results
would have been different.

Law enforcement in this country is designed protect
the wealthy, powerful and upper middle class. Poor
whites and non-whites are often victimized a second
time by the people who vowed to serve and protect them.

Elizabeth Smart was a national household name because
She was a pretty blonde girl from a wealthy, influential
family. I have never heard Amanda Berry or the other
girls names before the last week.

Makes me sick how incompetent the Cleveland
police were and now having to watch them patting
themselves on the back and actually using the word
"hero" to describe their "work" on this case.

2. He's absolutely right...

..about the socioeconomic and racial overtones to the lack of investigation. Resources are not poured in when Hispanic or African American children go missing.

Lpve Pap and Ring of Fire.

3. Food 4 thought...

Think about this:
For 10 years, police ignored various warnings/weird sightings cited by neighbors at that house in Cleveland
where the 3 abducted girls were kept prisoner.

But---If someone, YEARS AGO, had phoned in a report that they smelled the scent of marijuana coming from that house,
would the Police have shown up in force with multiple cars, and lots of guns,
to make a big 'ole bust on that house?

What do YOU think?

4. K&R! Pap is always spot on about the law! I learn so much listening to him!

I'm a young man and sometimes think Mike Papantonio inspires me to want to enter his profession of law.
