Yep.
She was killed when the car she was in was hit by a train.
The car was stalled in the train tracks, and she and her boyfriend had gotten
out safely.
But, then she ran back and got into the car again, because she had dropped
his high school ring and was trying to get it back.
Patches was about a girl from the poor side of town who was found dead,
drowned in a pond behind the school in "Shanty Town".
It is from the point of view of the rich boy who loved her but was forbidden
to see her because she was too poor etc.
And the song ends with him saying that he will join her that night, ie:
commit suicide.
That song was pulled off the air very quickly after several teens killed
themselves.

I know.  As I said, I play the odds and I practice with mags and
speedloaders.  The original subject had to do with a requirement for
pre-ban magazines.  I didn't think that they were necessary for 99.9%
of the civilian needs.  That does *not* mean that I think that they
should not have them.  Let's not get into that.
I have practiced those scenarios among others.
However, please read what I said above and don't read more into it
then is there.  I stated that I do carry extra mags or a speedloaders.
I also practice with them.
Yep.
Thank you.   :^)

Write your reply.

assistant: For the record, I DO NOT agree with the moderator's decision to boot
you off ASKACOP2.  All I have ever asked from you is for you to
clarify your alleged LEO status and experience.  I am not asking
for your departments name and your badge number.  A statement such
as "I was a deputy sheriff for 10 years and am now a bail enforcement
agent" or something to that effect would have been fine.  But you have
insisted on clouding the issue with silly requests for money, ect.
I cannot speak for my "co-conspirators" that you have mentioned above,
But I have found many of your posts seem to imply that you are speaking
as an LEO. I have also found that some of your posts didn't quite (IMHO)
add up as coming from someone involved in law enforcement. I had hoped
you would prove me wrong by providing some generalized information about
your personal experiences as a LEO, not to ridicule or harrass you, but
so that I might have an idea as to where you have gained your knowledge
and experience in law enforcement.
It is clear that you have no desire to have any ON TOPIC discussions
concerning law enforcement in good faith.  You attempt to shove your
opinions down our throats and when a a few of us start to question
your "facts" or "opinions", you start tap dancing, claiming harrassment
or invasion of privacy.  Why do you think this subject keeps comming
up like bad heartburn?  Because the minute things start quieting down
or a new person joins this conference, you start posting like you
INVENTED law enforcement.  It is inevitable that people will start
asking you the who, what, when, why, and where concerning your LEO
career.
You said it best; put up or shut up.

assistant: *** Quoting Charles Hunter from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***
Why should everyone have to pay extra tax, just because some folks are not
responsible?  Thats not fair.  Yes dear, I know 'life isnt fair' but we do
make some effort to attempt to make it as nearly so as we can when it comes
to laws.
No, I would object to all the folks being taxed, because some folks do not
support their actions in such a way as to result in children who need support
that a remaining parent cant give.  Guess what.  We are *already* taxed to
provide for that.  Its wrong, bu the only way out of it, is to go after the
parent who isnt helping the other one as best as they can.
This reminds me of something going on right now among the folks in my
workplace.  The guy has custody (very junior, cant afford anything, not even
an apartment).  The woman just handed the kid over and dissapeared on him.
She wont provide enough financial support to feed the kid or even her half of
the childcare fees at the reduced military rates.
*Fortunately* we folks stick together and have it worked out somewhat for the
moment for him.  My husband who stays at home, is going to take care of this
newborn for some of the time, and others are there for other times until we
get back in port.  (Going to sea shortly as Navy folks do).  Once the
paperwork is completed giving him legal custody of a child that he was not
even listed on the birth certificate of, we can get him housing and other
things.
Other than not having an abortion, the 'little girl mommie' didnt do a damn
thing right on this one.  She even got every penny the man had saved, to pay
for her medical bills in return for handing the newborn over.  His checking
account is a flat .34 cents.  He has to date:  1 birth certificate (On which
he was NOT listed), one newborn (6 days old), no experience, E1 pay, and
friends who care enough to make it work.
Humm.  Maybe he is kinda rich after all?
