Harrington HALL (THE OVERFLOW) shelter in cranston was visited by the fire dept. Because it was too full,thay droped the amount of people that could stay from 98 to 85 men. Which means if that 86th man trys to sleep there, he is told to find shelter some where else without, a return bus pass. That means all night walking back to providence or rolfe sq to sleep. I just hope the New HOPE people do a better job. there are alot of concerns there.

How about the illegals in this state... sapping resources and funds. Oh that's ok though. Probably most of the people complaining about the city workers are not even citizens to begin with and don't want to see their social handouts taken away. You people are so uneducated and believe everything you hear. There is a lot more to it. Do firefighters and cops earn a good living, yes. But they are skilled workers that most cannot do. Injury and death is possible. God Bless them all.

The problem is not the firefighters or cops in this state, the problem is the rest of corruption that goes on. Everyone is bashing the firefighters. What about the dot that paves a road, then two months later digs it up again? Or how the roads never seem to get done right. Why? Job security I guess. So you know what, look in other places for waste and you will find plenty. But, it's easy for everyone to single out one or two groups. The groups that actually do the most good!

There's really nothing you can do in the short term Donna. It'll take several years to rebuild your credit. Let this be a lesson though ... never co-sign or take out a loan for friend or family. It'll do nothing but get YOU in trouble and it will usually ruin relationships. If an individual cannot afford a loan on their own, then they shouldn't be buying.

But he wasn’t proud because of his heroism or bravery. No, he was proud because of the way he worked a few days a week, scored loads of overtime, got killer benefits and was still able to work essentially full-time as a plumber.

Thanks Arthur and I do accept that. I do not accept the fact that these kids knew that my son was drug free and was off his seizure meds for 1 year. They knew his condition and knew he was a traumatic brain injured person. He was disabled.... If you take a disabled person and drink with them are you going to watch them or let the disabled person drink and do the criminal activity that they were all doing, watch the disabled person having a seizure, watch him aspirate and never call 911.. tell me

Cathy it is a persons choice to get involved. You can not make that a duty, it is still a free country. There have been many accidents that I will call once I am in a safe location. If I am not safe I will not call and that is the end of it. I don't use a cell phone, they cause too many accidents. I am sorry you lost your son but was he forced to ingest the drugs or did he do that by himself. Substance abusers don't have friends when they are getting high. I hope you can accept that fact.

I shoudn't conplain about my life when so many others have it so much worse. I never thought I would be living this way. I have panic attacks on a daily basis, why IDK but its hard.

I am tired of all of the litter in Providence and the individuals who are so ignorant that they do not realize what littering does to a neighborhood. It's on the people, but it's also on the city to ensure that home owners and landlords are maintaining their property and keeping it clean. When will the street sweeping start? Warwick has started theirs, has Providence started? If they have, they completely mised my neighborhood.

Paul I must admit Bush screwed up on the economy. Reagan on the other hand got it right. The top marginal tax was 70% before Reagan took office and went down to 28% when Reagan left office due to his economic policies. He also rebuilt the military which was factor that caused the Soviet Union to fall. No President since then whether they be Republican or Democrat has kept up what Reagan started 28 years ago. By the way 5 terrorist attacks happened under Clinton's watch.

RI civil servants don't earn their keep! I will be thankful when my tour is over here, since so many of you people convive for a living. If taxes were not so high and you had skills that companies from the US needed you would have better jobs here. When I call a RIer it is waiter. Kids deserve better.

The public school teachers are afraid of competition. They would love to have the kids that go to private school in their classes to push the scores up further. The cities don't want these kids in the schools because it would push the public school budgets. I wish we had school choice, the schools are bad.

Who and why are the school officals closing the schools because it is colder than usual but not out of the norm? What is going to happen in the summer, if there is 90 degree heat. I have plans the to leave the Friday when school is supposed to be out for the summer. This is more of a union tactic or a control issue with the elected officals. The people of this state need to learn to vote for responisble people not the usual supsects. The school boards are nothing but puppets for the NEA and AFT.

Calling 911 is a moral choice, I will tell you right now if I see someone driving a car erratically I may or may not call 911. If there accident effects others I will call. If I see someone go off into the woods because of their own poor judgement. I will not call. I will let them earn their Darwin award. It sounds cruel but it may save others by sacrificing one with poor judgement. Then the family has to deal with the grief and their own poor judgement.

Apparently, you have issues both with reading comprehension (and spelling). Doesn't matter if someone does drugs or not. If someone is having a medical issue, those who are there need to call 911. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend? Put it this way, if you have a heart attack someday, I'm sure you'd want someone to call for help..not abandon you because maybe you smoke, or weigh too much, or eat McDonald's daily.

I concur with what you stated. It is time to cut spending on the public school budget and let parents choose what schools to send their kids too. The schools here at best, are average. Most do a poor job for the students and the community which they are meant to to serve. Give the taxpayers a break and give the kids a chance, to get a good education. That means school vouchers for all students not just the poor kids, but all kids especially the middle class kids whose parents pay the taxes.

A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry and is certified in treating MENTAL DISORDERS. They also can prescribe meds. Maybe on your next visit you can ask them to change your script. You could mention OCD because you really are stuck on the cops and goverment officials thing. I am asking help for laws. Why are you so protective of people who had nothing to do with it. Your protecting someone. Talk to your SHRINK about it LET GO. And please go to the WPD with your information !

Don't blame people who had nothing to do with the incident, that is all i ever said.

Lets take a practical stance in preventing the rising rate of overdose deaths in RI. By encouraging overdose WITNESSES TO CALL 911. A GOOD SAMARITAN 911 LAW would give drug abusers limited immunity from drug related charges. 911 should be the first response to those witnessing a drug related overdose--not delay because of fear of the criminal justice system.

If one was arrested in Coventry, pick up the cozs in the Urban ring.

Roger, I was not being judgemental about you. It just seemed strange to hear you say you are homeless, yet use a pc a lot.If you volunteer at the VA why won't they do something for you? Why must you live on the streets? Or am i mistaken by thinking this and you really live in a building? You have me confused. I commend you for your services at the VA and hope that someone will come along to help you back on your feet. Keep up the good work by passing info to others.God BLess You.

Victor you need to read more carefully the woman's name is Joann she states her 28 y/o son was left to die by his "friends and girlfriend". Cathy states her daughter slept over a "friend's" house and the mother was home and "trusted" her daughter and the mother. He daughter was using coke and given GBH. These are sad stories but one was a minor the other was an adult. Who lets teenagers sleep over a strangers house unless in unusual circumstances? For a 28 y/o how long of a police record?

When are you people going to realize drug users don't have friends. They hang out with other users for a means to get drugs. Many parents are saying it is the police's fault but when no one presses charges, then whose fault is it? Little kids sleep over friends houses and it is a big deal. The only time my teenagers were allowed to sleep over was when they were coming back from an organized activities with a social group, and I knew the family we had dinner together and are friends.

To the people of Coventry, why don't you deal with this problem and solve it? Read about a man in Pasedena, TX. He dealt with burgalar who were breaking into his neighbors house. BTW Pasedena, TX is very similar to RI, a lower class blue collar area. It is a suburb of Houston. One thing I have to say about the people of Pasedena, they have is ethics, something most of you lack. The person who state stiches to snitches needs to be eliminated. Talk to Roger he could help you plan a mission.
