The Welch family

I read the article regarding the Welch family (04/28) and was troubled by the spin your editor put on it, apparently wanting us to have sympathy for this family - are you kidding? The US Constitution DOES NOT give them the right to bear ILLEGAL firearms or grow ILLEGAL drugs even on their own property. Simply because they were doing this in the privacy of their own home DOES NOT make it their legal right to do so.
I am sorry that Yoland lost her husband, but he totally brought it on himself. His son watched as his own father put himself in danger simply because Michael II wasn’t man enough to stand up and take his just punishment like a man. Any person with a spare part of iintelligence would know that where two or more are implicated in an illegal act, that one of them will turn on the other. Had Michael II had any brains, he would have told the sheriff’s department the truth about his buddy Johnson and gottenn the better deal for himself. As it is now, he and his mother are bemoaning how unfair our government system is. Yah, right! I’m sick and tired of people who break the law and then try to put the blame on someone else.
I, too, believe in the right to bear LEGAL arms and to protect myself from persons intent on doing me bodily harm - so long as it’s NOT a law enforcement officer. I have a legal concealed weapons permit for that very reason - to protect me from the BAD guys - NOT those who are sworn to protect me. Sorry, Yolanda and Michael II, you will get no sympathy from me. Tell your son to come back and take his deserved punishment.

I agree fully! Right on Helen....time for people to take some responsibility for their stupidity, and quit blaming everone else. That little notion had been bringing this country down for the last 15 years...time for the pendulum to swing the other way!
