Adjust setting to "slow roast".

[JustPiper]

Alot of people were upset when the DA said "No Deal" but being they knew things in the police report, it seemed, you do not make deals when their is a body to find, just someone alive, time is then crucial. Rodriguez even if he got the death penalty, poor Dru will not return to her family's arms. These damn predators! Crying mad!

CNN LIVE AT DAYBREAK

Suspect Arrested in Case of Missing North Dakota College Student

Aired December 2, 2003 - 05:01 ET



...BRIDGETTE BORNSTEIN, WCCO-TV CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Divers from several places, including New York and California, are here doing the specialized work. This is a spot under a highway overpass over the Red Lake River. There's a sandbar here, so the thinking is that if the water carried anything it could be caught on the sandbar here. Do you see the triangles cut in the ice? That's how the divers get in. The crew helps each diver bundle up to keep warm, straps on the equipment and then lowers them under the water.

America is more peril than it has ever been in its past. This isn't just business as usual.

We have a Supreme Court which refuses to enforce the Consitution they are sworn to uphold. Indeed, some members of that Court have openly expressed sentiments to the effect that the practises and opinions of other nations should be considered in rendering legal decisions in America.

An incestuous relationship exists between the legal establishment, which profits from the law, and the legislatures, which are CONTROLLED by that very legal establishment.

We have the two major political parties in the Country, solely on the basis of their own interests, IGNORING the daily invasion of illegal aliens across our borders and blind and deaf to the interests of Native Born Americans and those foreign born Americans who have taken the time, trouble and effort to comply with our laws in becoming legal residents or citizens.

We are denied the right of initiative and referendum or recall on the Federal Level, and Federal Congressmen, using the power of their offices, have turned what should be a mere episode in the life of a public spirited citizen into a well-financed life-long sinecure.

I could on and on.

But again, my main concerns in this post lie with the lack of Congressional action to stop serial predators like Rodriguez from repeating their outrages on more innocent angels like Ms. Sjodin.

[Jim Noble]

Sexual predators and paedophiles, people who have served notice on society that they are below a ravvenous beast on the scale of rationality, should NEVER get a second chance to re-enact their crimes. They should be locked up for life

How can you justify the millions spent on their upkeep?

I can't.

Either kill 'em, or exile 'em to an island where they can fend for themselves.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

CNN will be running video of the diving soon.

[ZULU]

I don't care if they are locked up life or dead.

We could reduce the cost by contracting with the Turks, Egyptians, or some other less politically sensitive nation to handle them, or build a penal colony on the Aleutians.

Either way, we should DEMAND action on this. Serial sexual predators are far more dangerous then lions or tigers or crocodiles, and Congress should be SHAMED that they consider an issue like latter more worthy of attention than cases like ROdriquez and Sjodin.

Did I miss it?

[invoman]

Ok, the local sheriff implied earlier on local talk radio that he thinks she is dead. Something about "finding it hard to keep the family's hopes up" or something like that.

ND and MN Governors are in town. Will call out the "Guard" to help search.

[Sandylapper]

Amen and amen!

Here's the quote:

``I certainly hate to be discouraging to the family or anyone, but it looks to me now that it's more of a recovery mission than a rescue,'' Hill said.

I just had a break now Lisa, just read about the shoe...sick to my stomach.
If the shoe was found a few days ago, maybe that's why the reports that they were scaling down the search to concentrate on a particular area.

[invoman]

Yeah-he basically said that it is unlikely she is alive here on the radio.

[Jackie-O]

Ping to maggiefluffs post #56...they found Dru's shoe.

[Sandylapper]

Thank you very much, maggiefluffs! More sad by the moments. Sjodin family has my prayers and are to be commended for their composure and bravery.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You didn't miss it. They just had on a reporter who said that the sheriff stated taht Dru is probably dead.

The family's private investigator said that he sees no evidence that she isn't alive.

The family might want to hire another investigator.

[Jackie-O]

Prison has been is Home Sweet Home for more than half of his life...of course he's comfy-cozy.

[Sandylapper]

Yes, thanks, Jack! I've been hearing Fox's latest report. I'm so glad they're getting National Guard support!
