It is scary if there will be armies inside the university, that will be terrifying to the community

A few other comments - did you take the time to cover the National Guard when they helped the citizens in Alamosa, or after the tornado in Windsor? Good stories - you should take the time to look into the good things that the CONG does for you and the other citizens of this great state - sitting back throwing stones and trying to be the next great journalist will get you nada unless you actually get out and get the story. Oh and by the way - the next time we have a death in Colorado for a soldier - maybe you should come along for the ride with the Casualty Assistance Officer - maybe then you would get why CONG folks do what they do - or you could just sit back and stay in a narrow minded world.....

Do you cover those troopers after they come home - or care what happens to them when they get back? I have not read through your articles - if you have I applaud you - if you have not - well - shame on you.

I do not think commandeering would be the correct word. But ignorance is bliss - or maybe stupidty is a better word - probably so considering the biased source.

Remember this of those that you tend to critcize - if it were not for them this "medium" would not have the right to exist - and remember this also - they have taken an oath to defend your right to make fun, criticize - with incorrect facts - and just be plain stupid - and they will defend that right for you to do so with their lives - can you say the same in reverse???? Yep - did not think so.

Why am I wasting my time. One day hopefully you and others like you will catch a clue - doubt it - but there is always hope......
