He was shaken I am certain and rightfully so. - Pazan Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:33:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-21335 Can we address the most important issue here, while many people willingly want to speak with the press, they may be informed by the police not to speak with the press so that some things do not get misconstrued-sometimes that can happen. A young man full of life had his life cut short by a brutal and uncomprehensible "MURDER". Can we find out what happened and why so the animals involved can be prosecuted. Sometimes people are doing the backstroke in a toilet bowl and then they reach out, this young man reached out. Can we help get this family justice? Hows that for free speach. God Bless the kayaker and God Bless all of the Sonnier Family. Can the news media help this family??, after all it made quick news that one of the suspects in this heinous crime will not face charges for a knife fight at a night club in 2007 as if that will make him look like an "all around do gooder".........and I could just go on! - Pazan Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:30:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19282 Rajun_Cajun, 'a little' just seemed funnier to me for some reason. Glad to hear you have a thick ball-carrying case, Walter. Northsidian Shotgun, I don't think a pisch-nook or a flick in the balls is ever endearing. You do make me laugh out loud on almost every post, though. - Dudley E.

And by the way, its "pisch-nook not flick, flick would be in an endearing manner....... WAL-Man, Wine is fine But, really not online And if your skin is so thick I'd say you'll welcome the flick But, should you really want a kick Why'nt you just flick your bic You and the other Mo-FO'S Could attain your main goals Form a circle ring your bell Pass the towel around Pell-Mell And its fine to drink some wine When you are with your own kind - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 01 Jul 2011 08:21:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19247 Don't worry, Dudley, my skin has thickened. Even down there. - Walter Pierce Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:31:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19246 "flicked you in the balls a little" A little or a lot makes no difference, still hurts the same...it's like a "little pregnant" - ragin_cajun Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:25:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19243 Damn Walter, does it feel like someone flicked you in the balls a little. Vicious! ;) (Winking smiley face to be sure people understand I'm just clowning around) - Dudley E.

I'll tell you all about it (anonymously of course) if you're interested...which you're probably not. It's not totally conclusive, but you can easily verify that me and Get Over It posted from two different IP addresses, and thus are two different people. "some disgruntled crank " C'mon Walter. Don't talk about my peeps like that. You trying to start a culture war or something? "As for "Wal-man," let's just say I got on-line on wine." No problem, I totally understand that...:) I'll even strike it from the record. I have to say, I'm very impressed that you're a hard-smoking, hard-drinking libertine. In the Hemingway tradition....or the Dorothy Parker tradition? :) - ragin_cajun Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:43:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19215 ragin, I've no idea how to go through server logs and I'm pretty sure that digital fingerprints are not readily apparent when folks like yourself post anonymously and said comments must go through a moderator. I assumed "Get Over It, IND" was just some disgruntled crank and not you. That's still my assumption. As for "Wal-man," let's just say I got on-line on wine. - Walter Pierce Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:21:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19213 Walter, I want you to go through the server logs and verify for everyone that "Get Over It, IND" is a different person than I am:) I don't want to be accused of posting twice under different pseudonyms to pump myself up on these boards:) I DO actually have supporters, and my worldview IS held by MANY people out there besides me. Our Republic is not lost, yet. Oh..and, uh....the "Wal-man"? That's gonna come back to haunt you :) - ragin_cajun Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:12:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19196 Geez "Get over it," the semicolon and closed parentheses at the end of my last comment signifies a wink, as in "kidding bro." Please, at your earliest convenience, take your meds and stop hating on the Wal-man. - Walter Pierce Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:55:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19194 Ragin is speaking to the public, not to "the press" and he's RIGHT! ! ! So, GET OVER IT, IND ! ! ! - Get Over It, IND! Wed, 29 Jun 2011 17:50:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19184 Well, that's because you're seeing me write here, somewhat anonymously, in character, using a "nom de plume", etc. But in my professional life, I don't speak to reporters unless I see some evidence in print of their ability to express nuanced positions in a clear and unbiased way. Speaking with reporters is incredibly risky and I typically try to avoid it. Commenting on opinion pieces on the web using a pseudonym...that's not really speaking to the press, now, is it? Once again, there's confusion over what is opinion and what is news?? ;) - ragin_cajun Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:09:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19174 You certainly have no reservations about "speaking to the press," ragin. ;) - Walter Pierce Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:21:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19172 Maybe law enforcement can't prohibit witnesses from talking to the press...but is there anything that says law enforcement can't politely ask witnesses to refrain from speaking to the press for any of a number of different reasons? This may come as a shock to the staff of theIND, but there are MANY people who don't LIKE the press, don't trust them to tell the truth, and don't WANT to speak with them. MANY people would much prefer to cooperate with law enforcement than with the press. If the press would quit acting like political operatives, and quit throwing "free press" tantrums everytime they don't get what they want, maybe that attitude would change. But, based on what I read here, I don't hold out much hope for change. - ragin_cajun Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:05:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/8570-pooyie-06292011#comment-19147 I have to admit, if I found a body & I learned it was a murder victim, probably dumped for gators to get rid of, and the law enforcement agency asked me not to speak to the media - just yet - I'd probably have no problem with that. I would want to give that agency every opportunity to solve the case. If it were me, I don't believe MY story of what I did, what I saw, would be the most important immediate concern. I saw the man on TV & I didn't get the impression he was fearful of law enforcement or that he was FORBIDDEN to give details. I got the impression he was disturbed & concerned the victim have every opportunity to have justice. I just didn't get the impression this was a "right to speak" issue, but one of concern by a witness to preserve the initial integrity of the case. - BoFred Wed, 29 Jun 2011 05:20:15 +0100
