Written on 3 arrests in store lot confrontation:

Sorry, but YES it IS "lowlives" [sic] committing crimes. It is rampantly stupid to be in the busiest parking lots on that side of town, trying to break in and show guns in the middle of Spring Break and unusually heavy times in those businesses. Go where a lot of people AREN'T to do these things, was the point. Of all times and places to pull a crime off, this wasn't it. And stop feeling sorry for criminals being on "hard times" or whatever. If you'd been out at Petsmart with your children shopping for cat treats that day, would that have been a fun experience for you? OR TERRIFYING? IT's not exciting, it's palpably stupid. Don't commit a crime in a throng, where everyone has a camera, including stores and parking lots. Undercover police amongnst us, too. Go somewhere deserted, was the POINT.

Written on Bullying alleged at Grape Creek:

in response to cab2242:

I am so sick of everyone blaming the schools for everything that goes wrong. You complain about the punishment not being strict enough but yet you want corporal punishment taking out of the schools. You want them to be taught morals and character but you can’t pray or talk about God with them. Did you ever think that just maybe it is where many of our morals and character come from? You cannot have it both ways. If you want the schools to raise your kids – then let them pick and choose how they want to teach and punish them. I am betting more schools would go back to corporal punishment and quite putting up with so much of the BS they are forced to put up with. I have an idea if you don’t want the school to have control over raising your kids home school them. Most kids are a product of their environment. If given a chance in a different environment (home life) many of these kids would not be in the situation they are in. I know good kids will make poor choices and give then chance we would all go back and change a poor choice we made. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and quite blaming educators and the schools. BE A PARENT YOU HAD THE KIDS NOW RAISE THEM.

IT is not the school's job to "talk God" to them. ENOUGH of that. God is for church and for parents to discuss with kids. If I here "we can't talk GOD in schools" one more time, I'll throw up. PARENTS should instill values and correct behavior, you don't just dump your kid at school and expect every life lesson to be taught. Take them to church, ground them when they misbehave, stop rewarding bratty behavior, but enough of saying "God needs to be in schools"! That's not what schools are FOR.

Written on Bullying alleged at Grape Creek:

First this mother said her kid had "17 stitches" and now it's just bumps and bruises. I think they all are accountable, and all should be punished, not allowed to play sports. They probably do this on a regular basis, it's kind of the "thing" to do these days -- pretend to beat up a kid, take video and it's "fun". Don't blame educators...this is a case of parents rearing children -- almost grown children, who have no shame, no filter, no respect. They should all be sent to an adjustment center, along with the people who send them off to school every day. Parents are seriously lacking in skills, these days. Schools are for educating -- the values begin at HOME.

"Some doubt" and "REASONABLE doubt" are two different concepts. I fully expect this man to disappear, after this mistrial before the other trial ever seats a jury -- oh, and it WILL go to trial again. If you really think a body can fall such a distance and have nothing broken? Then I dare you to go throw one of your friends off a cliff and see what happens...

Written on OUR OPINION: Green, having lost constituents' trust, should step down:

For those who think he's so wonderful for his letter...note that it wasn't the stealing that made him lose sleep at night and feel uncomfortable, it was the LYING about it that troubled him. I agree, he'd steal the tip off the table behind your back. I have always wondered how this guy got to this any position of trust at all. He needs to step down, or his constituents needs to meet with him and demand it.

Written on Green letter admits "personal use" of water district credit card :

Baglady? The facts are in, honey. At least the ones our former Republican delegate admits to. While he pays back what his "faith" told him to, maybe they'll hire an auditor who isn't a friend of his, and find out what else he's done. He's awfully quick to offer to repay this, as if "whew, I'll happily accept blame for this, because they didn't find the REALLY big thing, yet".

How did this guy sleep at night EVER, with what unfolded with Mrs. Brown? Wow, "public servants" are really a bunch of opportunists, aren't they? No wonder a certain few are always trying so hard to get back on a ballot, so they can get back to the good free money in public service...

Nice going, Green. You can't even confess guilt in a professional way. Disgusting.

Written on Wife recalls husband's fatal scuffle with officer:

Here's an idea: Don't fight with a cop. Submit and comply. I don't care if it's a traffic stop. They don't know what you're capable of or what type of person you are, only that a complaint has been made, severe enough to call just shut your mouth and settle it/prove yourself when you're sober. Being combative solves nothing. Cops have a duty to ask questions in a situation like this and they have a right to save themselves when in peril. How'd you like to walk up to a house in the middle of the night, not knowing what awaits you? Honestly, I think some people speak from the criminal point of view on if they have the right to challenge an officer of the law who is trying to question, subdue, or arrest them. Don't.

much sorrow over this...our hearts go out to the loved ones and colleagues of Josh Mitchell.

Written on Group might swell lunch crowd to aid Chick-fil-A:

If the CEO is all into "traditional family values", then he must consider DIVORCE part of that tradition, since the local owner of these Chik stores is divorced and remarried. Ha. I have no problem with the beliefs held by this CEO or any other, as long as they are not molesting my children, or mowing people down with automatic weapons. I'll wager that my beliefs and those of other CEOS don't line up exactly, but it hardly calls for a boycott. Live and let live, believe what you want, and stop forcing others to follow what you choose to believe, that's USA.

Tea Partiers are the hateful ones, jumping on any excuse to scream and be hypocritical. At least Mr. Cathy has the nuggets (so to speak) to state his beliefs in a country that allows that. I think a lot of business owners have idiotic, ignorant beliefs. That's the way it goes. I bet some of these tea partiers probably eat at restaurants and buy goods from people who don't believe in God at all, but they don't get all up in arms, and those who refuse to allow Chik Fil A owners to have their own beliefs in a free society are idiots, too...Who CARES what others believe?

Can't we all just get along? Good GRIEF.

And if you think CFA "hates gays" then you don't know that they employ them, educate them, and serve them cheerfully. They just believe in traditional marriage. They usually hold this "belief" because it saves them MONEY not having to pay benefits for a gay person who might have a spouse of the same gender...I believe it's not so much "beliefs" as cynicism and the bottom line.

Eat at Chik Fil A or don't. Shop at a place a gay person owns, or don't (there are plenty in town) But shut up and stop making differences an issue. Melt into the freaking pot, already. This is America.

I went to Freebirds...The lady making my burrito told me since I did not get beans I could get Guacamole free...turns out I was charged extra anyway...Wrote BBB and the main headquarters about it..No Response... So my response is I'm not giving them my business.. I think Diego's and Julio's have better burritos anyway...

The BBB. You actuallyl contacted the BBB over beans and guacamole. I also complain when things are not correct but this place is new, give them a freaking break. If it meant THAT much, talk to the manager ON THE SPOT, who can fix your problem right there.

Honestly, contacting the BBB over beans and some avocado? Are ya gonna call 911 if they forget the sugar in your tea?

As for "the elite" of San Angelo hanging out at these places, that's ridiculous. "The elite" eat at their friends' locally-owned restaurants, or they fly out of here and eat at REALLY nice places.

More likely, college people and those bored to death with the usual chain places will eat at Freebirds and Smiling Moose. I'm sure they don't need your business and are all still laughing over your beans crisis.

People are really interesting....

Written on LETTER: Brown photo humiliating :

I have a feeling this nonsensical letter came from the mouth of the convicted felon herself, dictated to some brainless friend who sent this in order to start "repairing" (ha) her image. It's the height of idiocy and a laughable comparison.

And by the way, for YEARS, I personally donated to these charities, and our business did so as well -- everyone stopped doing "Secret Santa" with dumb cheap gifts, and instead took no-limit donations that were presented to this no-account woman, to help these children. So, this FELON stole MY money, and the generous donations of my friends, family, coworkers...people with giving hearts and decent intentions. She's a Madoff on a different level, but make no mistake. This woman did a lot more than misbehave. How about a class-action civil suit by those who donated so generously, demanding back our money? Let's haul her into court again, in chains. I think that would be deserved. She cannot be humiliated ENOUGH, in my mind, and I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Written on LETTER: Brown photo humiliating :

You have GOT TO BE kidding me. Really. This FELON, a thief of charity funds...who got away with it FOR YEARS, shouldn't be shown in a photo? This is why this type of thing continues, there's not enough SHAME attached. She's a common thief, who deserves not only jail time (remember, she pled out so she should have actually served much more on other counts) but she MUST pay restitution. THis woman deserves to be photographed GROVELING on the ground. How DARE you think she needs to be handled with kid gloves.

Some people really have no regard for the crime, but want the criminal treated as if they are precious rare gems. PLEASE. Save your "revulsion" for the ACTUAL DEEDS this thieving, no-consience-having piece of trash committed. Trust me, she has no regard for YOU or anyone else except herself and perhaps the person who bleaches her hair.

Stop babying criminals, seriously. This is why the world is the way it is. All this "compassion" for people who would just as soon steal from you as look at you.

In the grand scheme of things, "serious" condition is not that big a deal. It's NOT "critical" it's not "grave", it means a hurt or ill person who should be in the hospital, for medical care, and she is. Calm DOWN.

well, clearly not many here actually GO to the county's hardly news that the homeless use it for their home during the day, and have for decades. They used to "bathe", or at least sort of clean up, in the bathrooms of the old building, men washing up in the ladies' room as well as the men's -- and then holing up in the conditioned air of the library, still stinking up the place. This isn't news for ANY public library. We're just a small town, and it hasn't been as big a problem, but libraries are daytime homes for the homeless. I'm surprised this hasn't happened before now. And surprised anyone is surprised!

Written on Details sealed in Mueller arrest:

Well, people commenting in the last couple of days have been shrieking about this wonderful man being treated like a common criminal, when he's a wonderful parent and goes to church and all that. Many were trashing those who commented on the story, and the writer, as well. However, I don't believe the writer mentioned 1st Degree Murder as the reason Mr Mueller was arrested. Most of the posts were outraged that the SAST writer would call such a fine upstanding man a "fugitive". The Colorado papers aren't speaking so delicately as the SAST, where this man was referred to only as needed for "allegations" and questioning, and failing to show up for that. The Colorado papers and authorities aren't soft-soaping it: "accused of first degree murder" is a lot more plain-spoken than "arrested as a fugitive".

Written on Details sealed in Mueller arrest:

All ye who are up in arms that anyone dare comment on why this "fugutive" was arrested-- Colorado Springs news makes it a bit more clear. Murder:

Written on Man arrested in wife’s ’08 death:

in response to misterg:

As for your comment about "able to sleep well at night", I'm quite sure that would be possible without your constant negative, idiot comments! You say he is a fugitive from the law, but what you seem to be blind to is the meaning behind that, something Ms. Rios should have mentioned. He is a fugitive only because the warrant was issued in Colorado and he is in Texas; I'm sure Colorado has always known where he is, and if not, that says a lot to their "evidence" for arresting him - how did you collect that if you can't locate a man that has not moved, attends all his childrens functions and still works/owns the same business. When this happened in May of 2008 (3 and 1/2 years ago, not 4) obviously he was released by the same authorities that I'm sure arrested him now. So no, saying he should have answered their call when there was no call is not fair and I seriously doubt his family enjoys seeing you constantly accuse him.

And to your comment earlier about how the story is long and elaborate and full of detail; did you ever play the game where you whisper something to one person and see the result at the end of the circle? It usually was not close to the original whisper, and always much, much longer. SO!!! maybe some or all of the stories that were circulated in May 2008 might be more rumor and gossip than truth.

The fact that you, Zepper, are the worst for accusing Mr. Mueller is appalling! Everyone is entitled to thier opinion but let it rest after 5+ comments. Let their family be! AND, you think "an adult with reasoning powers might just have cocked an eyebrow at this very strange "accident". ", well, maybe you should not believe everything you hear. Most people probably took the story/gossip that was being circulated as just that, a version or the truth with a lot of small-town gossip mixed in. How's that for reasoning powers!

OK, I've got to stop. I don't know the family well but I can only imagine how they feel. My heart goes out to all of them.

YOU are inferring a LOT.How do YOU know that Mr Mueller has not been ignoring an order to return for questioning in Colorado? HMMM? Did he tell you he didn't know about it until his arrest? Have you ever heard of ..GASP!... people LYING? When someone is listed as a fugitive, it means they are evading an ORDER to be questioned. CLEARLY he ignored the order & his evasion caused his arrest. Yes, authorities CAN find people. They knew where he was, gave him the chance to show up. He didn't, and they made sure he was arrested and asked for extradition.
A simple trip to Colorado to answer questions might have been much less embarrassing for this man, but for ...some...reason...he...just refused to show up when it was ordered. HMMM.
I haven't accused him, and no one says he's guilty. People here are saying that this woman's death seemed strange and left unanswered questions. It is NOT unusual for the husband to be questioned when a wife dies. Or ex-wife. I had a coworker whose ex was murdered. They had been divorced for years. The living ex was requested to travel where the ex lived to answer questions. Authorities requested this on a Saturday but the person had things to arrange. They showed up a few days later -- to waiting authorities, and had to spend a pretty penny on a lawyer, because they were under suspicion, though there was logistically no way they could have been involved. But there was no alibi, so there was a very tense time for this person until the murderer was found.

Obviously there are questions about the death of Dr. Mueller. Fred was present at the time. It is fair to require him to answer questions further, as part of the investigation. I don't watch crime shows, I have a rudimentary knowledge of the justice system just by virtue of being an educated person.
Show up when you are asked to, and you won't get arrested. It's possible they just want him to verify or clarify something -- who knows. What IS clear is that he defied an order to return to Colorado, or he wouldn't be in jail right now! FACT.
If you stop trying to scream at us for saying he's guilty, and be objective for a few minutes, you might also have reason to question this tragic death. People a lot smarter than you or I have examined the scene, the victim, and think that questions remain. Mr. Mueller, if he cared at all about his wife, owes it to her, to answer whatever is asked. Period.

You and others are the ones having a fit. If he's your friend, ask him why he ignored a court order. Doesn't look real good when people do that. Compliance is a really smart thing to do. Keeps ya out of jail.

It's so nice to see that our Wall school teachers are working so diligently to educate our young people. Excuse me but maybe I am wrong...shouldn't students be doing work from their workbooks at home for homework not during school hours. Sounds like this teacher...enjoys getting a pay check and not about the students best interest. I bet it just shocks her when students fail her class. *dont' get me started*
I appologize if I seem harsh but I was a student of Wall from grade K-12...and I had to go to college to find out what education really is.

Now for the Muellers leave them be...I was/am great friends with their daughter for many years and we will always be sisters even if we do not see each other once even 10 years. We do not know what happend and it is no ones business to judge except god all mighty! Let this play out...stop judging people. I moved away from Wall for this reason right here...people think they know everything about everything and they know nothing in fact.

Um...the court system judges here on earth, dear. Take a breath, use punctuation, and perhaps someone might take you seriously. You have a biased adult with reasoning powers might just have cocked an eyebrow at this very strange "accident". Several here have said as much. Leslie was neither stupid, clumsy, or reckless. The story shocked grownups who knew her.

Your childlike naïveté is adorable, but not all of us are from the great metropolis of Wall, Texas, and we know a fishy story when we hear it. I'd also like to know where you attended college. Your education clearly did not include critical thinking or, for that matter -- basic syntax.

SOMEONE knows what happened -- and obviously the authorities are seeking further information from the part that was present at the scene. For the purpose of solving and closing this strange case. Innocent people are usually quick to respond to a request to appear. God's law is the ultimate, but in case you didn't learn this at your college--people have to answer to the laws of man while on this earth. I hope Leslie's death is explained and resolved, so her children and family can know the peace of truth and justice, and are able to sleep well at night.

in response to raiderpower2012:

Zepper, you should be ashamed of yourself for posting something like this on here for Fred's entire family to see. It would be one thing if you knew Fred and his family but you do not. I grew up with this family and they are truly amazing. This is a tragedy. Leslie delivered me and when I heard the news, my heart broke. I might be partial because I do know the family but for you to come on here and for you to make accusations like this is just sickening. Call me crazy for being upset about your post but I am speaking for all of those who are not speaking up. You are ridiculous. I read your post on my phone and was so enraged that I got out of bed, created an account, and posted this. Instead of pointing fingers and telling everyone how a real lie is told, you should pray for Fred and his family like every other human with a soul is doing right now.

I also had been a patient of Leslie's. IN NO WAY did I trash, insult, or otherwise taint her good reputation or good loving heart. I questioned, again, as I did when this "accident" happened, how on earth it was so detailed yet so at odds... She fell? Or she drowned in a creek? Hmmm. As someone else here has said, those two places are at all that detailed info about dogs, tangling, and on and on-- always had a strange, fake, confusing tone to it. Weird, but "fully detailed" explanation, somevsimple research about accident and tragedy reporting. There is a pattern and style that was "off" in this case. Maybe you are a supporter of her husband, but rest assured-- there are people in town who know them who had accepted the news of Dr Mueller's death quite uneasily and with a VERY large question mark about the whole situation. Something did not ring true. I'm sorry you accept things at face value, and it's lovely to attribute only good to people you know. In this case, you may -- investigators and courts will tell-- you MAY have been just a little naive. I recommend you save your high dudgeon for the person or persons who may just have been not so truthful. Not calling anyone a murderer, but ...obviously, someone in authority has some questions only mr husband can answer. If called by authorities in other state, regarding a death like this -- thou best heed the call, which mr, husband did NOT, or he would not have been a fugitive from Colorado. We shall all wait and see just what comes of it all. But do not accuse me of tainting this good woman's life or reputation. I did nothing of the kind.

FYI-- not every person is "good" or "innocent" just because they attend church or work hard at their is possible for the smiling person at the table next to you at the spaghetti supper to have deep, dark,ugly secrets. Be wary, not naive.

kellygreen: a good piece of info for you -- if someone is telling you a LIE, they will most likely tell you way too much information. Most people would say "she drowned!" Period. Because in the horror and melee of the accident (who drowns in a creek, by the way) no one would recall details. It's just not how true stories are recounted. Here's a tip: you kno you are being lied to if someone tells it like a story: "the sun was setting, it was 58 degrees, the leaves were blowing and the dog tangled my wife all up in the leash, and this caused her to lose her balance and we all watched her struggle and then she got too close to the edge and we all watched her fall off and then she drowned in the creek and it was because of the dog and it was really windy and the kids were playing somewhere else with their toy dinosaurs and..and...and...." REAL tragedies that happen shocking and suddenly don't come with a lot of details, just SCREAMS, tears, and horror. So, next time you get detailed info -- be suspicious.

I have no doubt that the crazy father who recently hacked his children and blew them to Kingdom Come has made a lot of investigators intent on keeping that kind of thing from happening again. So yay for this arrest, let's have some questions of this man before this gets put to rest and he's got his children forever....

Perhaps you need some help with READING COMPREHENSION. There is no opinion or jumping to conclusions in this article. Stop jumping on the writer for reporting what is factual: this man was a FUGITIVE. Perhaps you could look up the legal definition? It does not mean a one-armed man on the run, darling, it means someone who left where he was supposed to be - -in this case COLORADO. Clearly he was supposed to be there answering an indictment, instead of acting like he didn't have to comply. That's a fugitive. FYI, DA's often bring charges that are later dropped, it's how the justice system works. They want him as part of the investigation, OBVIOUSLY. What are you so angry at the writer about? You speak as if they came here and strung a rope on the spot!

Stop watching crime dramas that are solved in 44 minutes on tv, and learn how real crime investigation works.

So tired of officials and others blowing off things like these EIGHTY EIGHT vehicles as "petty and childish" A dozen or so incidents is petty and childish, maybe. But someone clearly was angry and intent long enough to continue to shoot and shoot and shoot --a dozen wasn't enough to satisfy or provide took 7 or more times that amount to finally stop. It's malicious, vicious, and frightening. And maybe when it happens again -- to runners, walkers, cyclists, family pets, or children on the streets and in yards, instead of "just" vehicles in driveways or at curbs -- it will be seen as what it is -- vicious, angry, twisted, cowardly and CRIMINAL behavior. Someone desperately needs help, if they need to do this...

And it takes a while to do this. Was EVERY single cop in town occupied elsewhere? Did no one hear it happen? Or did everyone bury their heads in the sand as always, not wanting to "be nosy" at GUNSHOTS outside.... pathetic.

I don't know what you gullible people think that this man did that was so great and memorable...he spent 3/4 of his presidency clearing brush in Crawford Tx while young men and women died in a "war" over oil, failing to search for the real architect behind 9/11. He became president to avenge his father's failure to destroy Iraq and kill Saddam Hussein. And the DEBT crisis, my darlings, occurred during HIS presidency, LONG before the 2008 election.Enough of this revisionist history. His intention after his time in office, I thought, was to go home and not have to be a puppet for Dick Cheney and other advisors and stop having to try to put a sentence together on his own. As for Laura Bush, people conveniently forget that she mowed down her childhood friend, yet selfisly whined about how it affected HER life -- didn't even approach his family or apologize. This is a woman who didn't have the CLASS to attend the funeral of someone she killed by her reckless driving. I am NOT a DEMOCRAT OR LIBERAL. I see and speak the truth as it is, I'm not hypnotized by this elite clan from Maine and New York, who came to Texas to get rich and use it to their advantage.

Written on ASU cuts five degree programs:

Education & higher University degrees are not only wonderful, but necessary in some fields but if a person doesn't know where Fife, Texas is, cannot leather a windmill, or shoe a horse, splice a barbed wire fence, he likely is up "salt" creek without a boat or paddle. There is a real life among the working class.

Then maybe they should go to a VOCATIONAL AG school. This is a state university. I don't know how to do any of the things you mention, couldn't care less about them, and have made a nice life for myself with my ASU degree without knowing any of your "vital" knowledge in such things. Hardly up "salt" creek or any other, here. If you don't like the courses and programs, PICK A DIFFERENT SCHOOL!

How is that Texas Tech affiliation looking now? Why did San Angelo let this happen right under our nose?





Written on ASU nursing degree may be extracted:

This is a good idea. And FYI, "arexrcl", I have a friend right now in another state who can't get a job with her AASN from here. Degreed RNs are taking all the jobs.

A Bachelor's degree is the better idea for our university. Howard College can keep teaching LVNs. We always need bedpan-emptiers, but skilled nurses are the ones who really are able to write their own ticket, jobwise.
