Perverted. Getting back pay for assisting murder and getting elected as president? Probably only in the US... ~~
Unions are important, but cases like this show they sometimes have too much power... 67.175.167.58 21:25, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have to live in the same town with this particular local, and they don't have a very good record as far as union solidarity goes. But speaking as a sometime union steward for another union, I will point out that from their point of view, the cops were fired for being too accomodating to what they thought were two members of a gay community which in prior years they were encouraged to persecute. A union's job is to keep their members from getting punished to an extent not proportionate to that of the mistake. The "members of the year" thing, on the other hand, was obnoxious and in the worst possible taste; but was aimed mostly at the department and the then-chief thereof (with whom they were not happy).--Orange Mike 22:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
What a bizarre country is the US. This sick son of a bitch is gonna get his, sooner or later. Why no website advertising who this sick fuck is? 201.19.129.197 13:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
"...not getting punished proportionate to their mistake." - Let's see, a fourteen year old boy, with a hole drilled in his head, is wandering naked, and all the good officers do is return him to his abuser and ultimate killer. A simple background check would have revealed Dahmer as a twice convicted sexual abuser and more questions would have been asked. A simple background check on Sinthasomphone would have shown he was fourteen and certainly should not be left with a grown man. And doing both would have revealed that Sinthasomphone was the brother of the boy Dahmer molested and got ten months for. I doubt the gay community would have gotten too up in arms over a few simple checks such as this. And then to make jokes about it over the police radio band, likely as Sinthasomphone was being killed. Nice police work. But let's not fire them or anything. That would be too drastic, policeman who don't do their jobs so severely that a boy is dead, as are several others, had Dahmer not been on the street. But by all means, let's make him Union president for his courageous fight! It makes be ill. But we only have ourselves to blame. We get the government, and bureaucracy, we deserve. If we accept that policemen aren't there to actually protect us when clear violations have been commited, but instead sit preditorially by the highways and byways to pick up the Dillingeresque speeders going ten over the speed limit, then this is what we get. Perhaps someday we'll learn that the State isn't your friend. The Barney Fifes persecute the least dangerous and let the dangerous do as they please. Which makes revenue for the State again...?
[edit] Point of talk pages and "orphan" status
As disturbing as Balcerzak's actions were, the Talk pages on Wikipedia aren't open forums for discussing your opinion of the person or event in the article; they are for discussion of how to improve the article itself. Also don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes.
Also I removed the "orphan" status heading and category links because I added a "See also" link from the Jeffrey Dahmer page. Inoculatedcities 14:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- You're quite correct Inoculated, but some friendly advice - you may want to refrain from commenting in what can be interpreted as a condescending tone. It could be taken the wrong way. Happy editing! :-) CanadianMist 15:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
