Why report this as alleged actions. The video was all over the place. No doubt about the comments being racist. Sadly the video is a typical representation of the culture on most of western Lincoln County. I'm no liberal by any means but hat was pure stupidity on the part of those kids. Maybe they were just doing what is allowed in their homes. If so they should have had enough sense to keep it there.
Step 1: Remove these kids from the (I assume) football team at West Lincoln. Apologies are hollow in these situations. Someone needs to learn a lesson — because clearly they haven't because this isn't the first time something similar to this has happened between WL and LHS. If there really is a zero-tolerance policy, let's see it.
From the headline I thought there would be information on Glock switches becoming more prevalent. The only mention of them was that the suspects were caught in possession of a quantity of the switches. Reeled me in with hat click bait.
The Stuff the Bus article says there is a picture below of items needed, but there is no picture.
Would it be possible 10 days prior to any Commission Meetings to advise Lincoln County residents a list of what will be discussed and voted on?
