How refreshing...

I was actually expecting McBroom to say that perhaps the school district needed additional funding to solve the problem. Thankfully he didn't.

"Minority representation is especially encouraged on this working group, which will be named the Multi-District Collaboration Council (MDCC)."

This is silly. What minorities are they referring to? When you walk into some of the Shakopee schools you'd swear that the white kids were in the minority.

Oakley and ndouglas, One

Oakley and ndouglas,

One other charge should have been made....failure to drive safely for conditions. This guy had to be speeding to hit Nick that hard. It was pouring, driving rain and very low light.. Hennes was not driving safe for conditions. Where's that charge???

Put him on a bicycle at 17th

Put him on a bicycle at 17th and Marshall for a minimum number of required crossings at that intersection. Let's see how he fairs then.

Interesting you said it like

Interesting you said it like that. I read you comment and realized this douchebag has not taken one drop of responsibility for his actions. I can't imagine what the the victims in this matter are going through. It's much easier to look at the facts on criminal side and understand this is probably very typical because I can always expect someone to not take responsibility. It's becoming the norm in our society. Even beyond the parties involved, it's dragging in politics and I think this is going to be a very crucial case that will determine Judge Michael Fahey's re-election.

In the article, it says he was found to have been drinking and was arrested early Thursday morning. I'm just curious to know the story behind that. Does he have a cache buried in his back yard? Are people enabling him? Or better yet, was the guy really stupid enough to sneak away and find himself in a bar full of stink eye?

There has been a lot of

There has been a lot of coverage over him being under the legal limit, but lets look at some of the facts. After he killed someone, he drove away. Because he hid, the blood test was further delayed...allowing him to sober up enough to avoid the DWI.

Not only that, but if you head the state statute, the criminal vehicular homicide charge covers gross negligence, under the influence, or the driver leaving the scene.

The charges should have never been reduced.

How many people this year need to get killed by drunk drivers in Shakopee before someone does something?

FYI Shakopee residents:

Sdavis1 — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:29:58 -0500

FYI Shakopee residents: Judge Michael FAHEY was the Judge that released Hennes last month and refused to raise his bail. He clearly did this after seeing on his record the previous DWI in 04 and his conviction in 5/05 for giving police false info, drug posession, driving after revocation, inattentive driving and having drug paraphernalia.
Judge Mary THEISEN didn't step up when she sentenced him in 04 either. THEIR TERMS ARE UP IN JAN 09! KEEP AN EYE ON FAHEY AND SEE IF HE IS REALLY TRYING TO KEEP SCOTT CO. SAFE FROM THESE CHRONIC OFFENDERS. If not, please vote!

hey ndouglas, is there going

hey ndouglas, is there going to be a McDonalds in this place?

Hee Hee! That was good. :)

The way society is today

arthurvandolay — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:17:42 -0500

The way society is today with the Internet and all, I'll bet the 12 year old students could probably teach this class. Why is Joy Massard so concerned about this?

I just read an article in

arthurvandolay — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:10:35 -0500

I just read an article in the Star Trib the other day about a Wisconsin restaurant cook that got sentenced to 6 months in jail for putting hair in a steak he cooked for a customer. 6 months for that!

This Hennes a$$ clown gets released (again) after violating the terms of his initial release. I wonder what that Wisconsin judge would have given Hennes for this, 4 years in prison perhaps?

God help us if this guy

kidjon — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:08:09 -0500

God help us if this guy reproduces.

I am shocked and sickened by

Sdavis1 — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:50:10 -0500

I am shocked and sickened by our courts in this case. I have heard of people sitting in jail for weeks for less than what this loser has done. He must have a friend in the court system or someone that knows the judge to have them be so lenient with him. How does a family heal when the person who caused them such pain is NEVER held accountable? I bet if he had killed a member of the judges family he would be locked up right now. They are ignoring his history and if they refuse to make an example here when will they?

I just looked Libby up on

ndouglas — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:13:54 -0500

I just looked Libby up on Facebook and found his profile. His status message reads, "been really wantin' babies so I can see a part of me that wasn't always shady."

What is it going to take to

Justmeagain — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:28:19 -0500

What is it going to take to keep this guy in jail? He's drinking again.

I hate the term ACCUSED, he HIT the kid, nothing accusatory about it, too many witnesses and his admission.

Again, need a new judge at the elections, this one is not doing a good job, mostly for letting Hennes out on the small bail. Especially with his record.

I think the law needs to be changed, if you have alcohol in your system (regardless of the content) and you kill or maim somebody else...automatic...jail time, NO bail, etc. Hennes charges were not as severe because his BAC was SLIGHTLY below legally drunk. CHANGE THE LAW, CHANGE THE JUDGE.
