Do you think anyone really cares?
Anyone know what is being built West of the Iowa State Patrol office on the North side of the road?
Anyone have any idea when is the final date that we will find out Mason City don’t get the state money to build that dumb hockey rink in the mall???
It will be fun to watch the disappointment wash over all the dreamers and I don’t want to miss it…
I don’t know what it is with the state of Wisconsin. A shooting on a wilderness trail occurred. Remember the Mung shooting skirmish between local hunters and the Asian Mung man who alleged they were uttering racist language towards him? Jeffrey Dahmer? Wisconsin is a strange state. Makes me think the more wild an area is, the more crazy stuff happens.
So more charges filed against police by state prosecutors (Baltimore this time) yet NIT declines to feature any coverage. Sometimes NIT seems anti-police, and other times pro-police. Most of the time, pro police, unless the police or prosecutors decline to act in accordance with NIT’s wishes. Regardless, nationwide reform is arriving, and the militarization of the police is finally drawing to a close. Long Overdue.
Matt:
I read an interesting article in the globe the other day about how the mayor of Swaledale asked the county BOS for support in getting rid of run down houses and Jay’s response was to incorporate! I find it interesting he would want the taxpayers of the county to take on city’s massive sewer debt. Dig into it!!!
Im not a prejudice person and with all of this riot shit going on lets turn the tables, white people have been getting killed by the police for years and we don’t riot. Looks to me like the rioters are mostly young unemployed youths that want to blame someone else for the losers they are. To me its not right for the police to just shoot or kill anyone but the focus is on the black community but cop killing whites and blacks have been going on for years. Our world is doomed and in a sad way.
Mason City project gets past the first step in funding for Marriott/convention center. NIT get on the ball
The Indonesian government today used firing squads to execute 8 prisoners from Australia, Brazil and Nigeria, along with one Indonesian – for drug charges. Too harsh?
An interesting question, posed by the Blue Zones:
“Longevity vs Compassion? The longest-lived people eat mostly plants and plant products—about 90% of dietary intake. Meat is consumed but only 5 times per month. We’re not sure if they live longer because of the meat of DESPITE the meat. In fact, according to the Adventist Health Study, the longest-lived Americans eat no meat at all. At any rate, I see images like this and realize that a living breathing, creature, one that feels pain exactly as humans do, had to give its life for one meal. I’ll stick with beans. What do you think?”
More trashed and unread MC Shoppers at 200 block of 14th Street SE. Photo sent by an NIT subscriber.
“Here is a house in my neighborhood that no one has lived in for months, wouldn’t you think the shopper people would figure it out that no one lives there and stop delivering!!”
Now happening in Baltimore, Maryland:
Wow whats with all the women being posted on here for breaking the law?? Times sure have changed.
What went on at Kraft Foods last night about 8:30 PM? There were so many police cars you couldn’t count them all and all with their lights on.
