Embattled KCC director out following critical statements

I never liked people who were in positions as supervisors; and spoke down to workers; like they were better then anyone else; and treated workers like dogs. I would never take that kind of treatment from any fool; thats why I have my own business; and doing quite well.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: The hidden survivors of Quantrill's Raid

Prior to this attack the pro-slavery farmers of Missouri had been continuously antagonized by the marrauding forces of Jim Lane and "Doc" Jennison's Jayhawkers; due to their obvious position as abolitionist headquarters in Kansas, the citizens of Lawerence were frequently sent into hysterics when rumors of an attack from Missouri gained creedence. Nevertheless, security around the city was usually lax, and on August 21 the populace was jarred awake by the sounds of Quantrill's men invading the town. After a swift and bloody assault, the Ruffians had the town secured. Once their military objective was out of the way, they eagerly proceeded to loot and burn as many houses as they could. They cleaned out all the banks, and the taverns were drained of whiskey. While they killed no women or children, they shot every man they saw. The death toll numbered 150 men, whose burned and mangled corpses littered the streets of Lawrence when Quantrill's men rode away, just a few hours after they had came.

Lawrence man charged with stealing motorist's eyeglasses in road rage incident

Stealing no; but if he reached into "my space" and grabbed my face; I dont know what harm he intends to do to me; however my glock would prevent him from doing further damage.............now if he reached in and grabbed my glasses off my dashboard and i knew he had no intention of harming me; then of course i would not shoot.

I walked into a bar and asked to purchase a 6 pack of beer; and the owner said I had to be 21; when I told him I had just got back from Nam; he gave me the 6 pack of beer free. Semper-Fi Mac...........

Taxpayers are stretched to the hilt; with all of the wasted taxpayer money; congress salaries; pensions; benefits; plus many other government workers;...............wasting the taxpayers dollars. Watch for the future social security reciepants; as their social security checks are whacked in half.
