Anybody see or hear the Kropf brothers got 5 years in prison? Should have been longer if this is true.
so there was another murder last night? what the hell is happening to this town?
Does anyone know what is going in the old Bagel depot spot?
I heard a rumor a while back that medical marijuana may be coming up for a vote during the next Iowa legislative session. Anyone know if this is true?
In my opinion, if we can legalize gay marriage (I’m not against this) and allow citizens to carry weapons openly (would rather they were concealed) we should certainly be able to provide some relief for those people who could benefit from medical marijuana. It’s only right.
Just read about this Patterson guy that was involved in sexual assault with two others, and only got 6 months in county jail and she was found dead next day.What the hell is wrong with this judge that handed down that sentence.Worth Co. residents can’t think justice was done for this women.
My Son and Daughter-in-law took our 2-year-old Grandson to his first I-35 race Sunday night and after they paid to get in and when walking into the gate one of the workers made them dump out the juice in my Grandsons cup. I totally understand pop or beer but a sippy cup for a 2 year old? That is just sad.
I like the site North Iowa Mugshots but enough is enough with the attacks against someone’s financial situation. So what if someone is receiving food stamps or WIC. So what if a woman got a tattoo in memory of her brother and is receiving food assistance. As it was pointed out maybe she got the tattoo done for free from a friend who just happens to do tattoos. These programs are out there to help families in needs. I receive WIC for my young son and I receive food stamps for my family. I bring in money but its not enough to support everyone on now a days. I miss the times when i was working 40 plus hours a week and didnt need the help from the state but lets face it that time is gone, everyone needs help from time to time. Lay off the people who are trying their hardest to support their families but cant fully support them 100 percent with out some kind of help. Don’t say a person should keep her or his legs closed just because the fear of pregnancy, my son may not of been planned at this time in my life but i take care of him i support him the best i can. he is well taken care off has all of the food and clothes that he needs. he has a roof over his head. i dont receive cash assistance like some of these women i know there is one woman i know who has 4 kids no job and is having another one. shes been in and out of jail a lot the past few years cause she cant even pay 30 dollars in child support to her oldest son. she is living off the state 100 percent, she cant even watch her two year old daughter and three year old son cause all she wants to do is sleep.

You have some really good accusations there but what are the names of those involved? You seem to have first hand knowledge, please share.
I see that a few of Mason City’s finest are back in Cerro Gordo County Jail today for Joint Criminal Conduct and Criminal Mischief in the 2nd. Is this related to the paint gun incident as I see it’s the same 4 individuals or is this for new incidents? Anyone know?
Zach Sletton – Joint Criminal Conduct
Kory Hogfoss – Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree
Wraymond Todd – Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree
Drake Shimon – Joint Criminal Conduct
So they were originally charged with dishcharging a firearm within city limits a serious misdemeanor. Now, these charges are a Class D felony. Wonder if they linked them to all the windows being shot out or they had another “fun” night? Matt, do you have any information on this?
Capitalism is it really evil?Private Individuals who control buisness.If we plan too take America back we need to create jobs instead of sending them overseas to China and Mexico and other third world countries.Why is it we buy products from China when we could easily have USA products which are better in my opinion.Democrats and Repulicans can’t decide on jobs,taxes,or anything really while they play ring around the rosey it just erks me.Not all Capitalists were Republican or Conservative,Look at Albert Einstein,Bill Gates,Steve Jobs,Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream.
How come I had to go to the Globe to read about the vandalism that struck the town last night? Is it because it wasn’t on the north end?
i would just like to vent a minute about mason city high school baseball…. those boys play their heart out for a coach that should not be allowed to coach t-ball. coach rood is the worst coach i have seen i high school baseball in many years. now he gets of on his season last year. just because he had 9 kids that play well together does not mean he is a good coach. he plays favorites! Ryan Erickson is suppose to be a baseball prodigy when he looks like a freshman out there. no control, to speed, but he is coach’s bud so he plays. if you do not give the booster club large amounts of money and have talent you will not play. i could go on for hours about this worthless coach. if mason city wants a good baseball team start the rebuilding by replacing TROY ROOD as head coach!
Just a thought,How would you like to be one of the hard working good African American families in this town right now,and I’m sure there is many.You got to feel bad for them because they don’t have anything to do with what has been happening as of late in MC.lifelong MC resident.
Sounds like you are smoking too much dope again PL.
Sure is hot! So hot I heard Peter C. may go back to “grease”!
Wow! You should take your spam somewhere else. No one cares about increasing traffic to their website on here. F-n spammers!
WELFARE COSTS FOR CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS EXCEEDS $646 MILLION IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY – CAN YOU EVEN COMPREHEND THAT FIGURE? that’s just Los Angeles County folks – imagine the figures for the U.S. Government and all the illegals raping the tax payers of America! …..and all these illegals will vote in November to support “THE SAVIOR” WAKE UP AMERICAN TAX PAYERS !!!!
It lets me know just how many people are reading NIT, which is A LOT. I’ll just say this. The attorney I consulted is also a judge, and he insinuated that I wouldn’t pay him for his services. I said, “why not require an up front fee?” and he tried to wriggle out of that one with more distractions. I knew something was up, and then when i pressed him, he made an odd statement, and then I realized what was going on. He said “The only time I’ve ever had a client didn’t pay me was this one woman who was in the military”. Then his associate came out of another office and said “Yeah, you can’t trust those military people”, sardonically. I won’t mention the firm or the town I was in.
