CRIME: Throw the book

I am in total agreement with Ron Dayton of Athol. These two dirtbags should have been executed years ago.

In Joseph Duncan’s case, he’s way overdue. He killed a 10-year-old boy from Southern California back in 1997. He confessed to that. In 2005, he murdered almost the entire Groene family from Wolf Lodge. He also confessed to the murders of two girls from Seattle, but has not been charged. Don’t know much about Renfro but he’s accused of killing a police officer, stole his car, drove out to Post Falls and was caught hiding under a trailer out in the middle of a field like 3 in the morning and pleads “not guilty.”

Don’t know much about Ben Wolfinger, but if he was elected by “we the people” we should wake up and really look at what has he done for the people of Kootenai County. A while back there was an article in The Press that he wanted more police cars. It came out that they already had new cars parked in the back lot. All they needed was to be fitted with what police cars need at $20,000+ a car. Do they have the officers to man them?
