Surprised as well , but they were just petty crimes in the eyes of law. Not to say their crimes didn't hurt the taxpayer.
Repeat offenders that bleeding hearts would want to use more to save their poor souls and lives.
Both are better off in the long run and with scores that high , Be all you can some how has more meaning helping our country , then being a thug with un used brains
no cases pending , after the deal , no felonies allowed

Many of the court case deal with the young little boys who think they are men. In the last 3 weeks I have seen the AG's office bend the rules of law by giving some of the them the choice between Military or Jail , only if a branch of service will accept them. There have been 2 I know of though thug life was their game , refuse to find a job that were accepted and I had scores in the 90s on their ASVAB test and soon will be serving our country.
Very interesting. Surprised that those with such records would be accepted into the military, especially if they have court cases pending.
While I am not against this, I remember going to Basic Training with some similiarly "motivated" troops. I would not have wanted to continue to serve with them, although, to be fair, some did use it to straighten out.

| imnoone.. that's just the kind of statement I expect... Maybe the constitution SHOULD be rewritten. I"m not afraid of cops having a little more power...You can't act like a fool at a football game, church, etc. wtihout being arrested or told to move on.. why should these stupid yahoos be allowed to act like fools in Safeway's parking lot and get a free ride? If you aren't out disobeying the law, you shouldn't mind the cops checking you out... There's so much yammering about the constitution and folks' rights being stepped on.. what about the average law abiding citizen who has to put up with the criminal element on the street? I say, let the cops go and get them anyway they can. And, yes, I fully understand that statement...I realize that the same law will apply to the rest of the law abiding citizens.. so what?

| I don't think IHOP should have to close at all....I'm sick of gang bangers and the rest of the riff raff making it risky to be out at night. I say give the police full control and let them bang all the heads together they want at the Safeway and IHOP parking lot...Bring the paddy wagons down and start frisking people and set the K9s on the crowd.. Check EVERYONE, that way, folks can't say it is racial profiling. Eventually it won't take these people long to figure out this might not be the place to hang out. Oh, and when this crowd "moves" the cops should move right along with them too.... I'm sick of the criminal element taking over the community...And, I'm sick of the dimwits called Sharpton and Jackson showing up and crying discrimination too.. I notice those buffons haven't shown up and complained about the white kids being beat up at Silver Lake have they? No, and they won't. So, go ahead.. now let's hear the left wing liberal nutjobs crying and moaning over the loss of civil rights....

| Actually, they are not left alone. The police are there constantly and the crowds are cleared out of the Safeway parking lot on a nightly basis. The problem is IHOP. The police cannot kick the patrons of IHOP off of there property since they are open. And the police have the rest of the city to contend with as well and as soon as they leave the idiots return and you have already seen the results. Maybe someone can talk some sense into the owner of IHOP.

Now certainly you must know that this isn't considered very sporting, to place a DUI checkpoint in the vicinity of drinking establishments. Too much like fishing in a body of water, I suppose -- one may catch some. Did anybody ever consider that we are not to drink and drive, but all drinking establishments have parking lots. When did anybody last observe a patron of a drinking establishment walk to it? Or from it?
Good call two cents! We are creatures of habit though; and, as long as the area is left alone it will remain a "hangout"...Remember Rodney Village Shopping Center??

You are right about Safeway getting a bad reputation because they share a
parking lot with IHOP. Their shoppers will get the wrong impression that it is
not safe to do their grocery shopping there and go elsewhere.
Sounds like IHOP's night shift needs to receive hazzardous duty pay.

The Safeway parking lot incident happened in the wee hours of the morning
from what I heard. I don't know exactly what is going on in the parking lot
but this is not the first incident there. Maybe they are using this location to
sell drugs late at night. Something needs to be done about it, though.

Private schools eliminate the "political" factor? That naive statement tells me that you have extremely limited experience with them. It may be of a different kind, but politics plays a BIGGER role at some schools then public schools could ever achieve. What gets taught, by whom, and how are often at the whims of the administration, influenced by alumni and/or donors.
Students may or may not be aware of this, but parents certainly are.
Have you heard of a girl playing for Ursuline Academy? Great ballplayer; one of those gifted athletes that simply out and out won the genetic lottery. Her father, however, wasn't quite happy enough, and he happens to be a developer with a great deal of money. He got rid of the school's coach, brought in (and contributed towards the cost) of a coach that he felt would help his daughter better. That isn't political influence?
Another example: A local school got rid of their principal because a few (heavy) contributors didn't like the way things were going.

I doubt that things weren''t much different in Dover High 8 years ago, so I am guessing High and Inside graduated from a private school in PA. Either way, there is no need to be deceptive in this forum.

Our government has, in many ways "tied the hands" of parents. They are worried
about being locked up for child abuse. The childen and the government have all
the control , thanks to the liberals.
My father was very strict. In today's world, he would have gone to jail and they
would've thrown the key away. However, he made damn well sure we knew
right from wrong, taught us to respect ourselves as well as others and impressed
upon us, the importance of not getting caught up in " peer pressure" and not
following the crowd especially if they were headed for trouble.
My mother stayed at home, she devoted her life to her husband and children.
She was there to help us with our homework after school, she was there to put
on the bandaid when we needed one, and she provided us with lots of love
and encouragement.
In today's society both parents work and there is no supervision from after school
until the parents get home. In today's society, a large percentage of children are
growing up in a one parent household.
THAT is why the crime rate is escalating.

In fact I graduated from a Private school in Pennsylvania. As a student, I was unaware of any political influence. what I did know is that the teacher was the authority. I had no recourse but to do my work!
Today in public education, every kid and parent is well aware of their "rights" and what can be done to influence discipline!!

"The thugs are bred that way.." When government and society provide free and easy access to things most folks work for, society "breeds" (I hate that word) its own problems! To characterize some parents by saying "they would never pay for their kids education" is a bold political statement about the value of education. I think most people would find a way to afford it because it is important!
The reason teachers and administrators are "scared to go back to the 'old school' ways" is exactly what you cite...schools are political animals! Political correctness and law-happy politicians with their collective nose in a business that they do not understand is a lethal combination! Nothing is accomplished in a school system locked in this type of political gridlock.
The solution is to get the government out of education! Private schools will eliminate the "political" factor. When kids misbehave, teachers and administrators will hold the hammer that will bring the kid and the parents into line..

Let me guess, you are voting for Barak or Hillary.
If you are referring to my comment , no it's not just the the schools fault.
It use to be if your child did not attend school for more then one day , someone from the school was calling your home or work.
Case in point the Bicentennial incident . This child being in a alternative school should have called the parent the very first day of his absence, when the mother saw him at the store she should not just rode on by.
Question should have been ask then , and then the mother should have check to see if she was getting the truth.
The store where they were , at also should have alerted the police if that many kids were in the store at 2:30 in the afternoon.
Some may call it snitching , others call it getting involved in the community.
And no I am a McCain supporter.

You gotta be kiddin' me! The liberals started this mess! I think that state-funded education needs to cease now! These thugs are made in our public education system. Privately schools would have the power to do something about this crap.

When the young thugs find out that they can't learn anymore they take their act to the streets...I blame the schools!!
How about blaming the parents. Schools don't turn kids into thugs-lack of parenting and discipline at home does. Then these kids go to school and have no respect for authority and the parents have the attitude that their kids are always right so it becomes increasingly more difficult for teachers to actually teach. Schools/teachers shouldn't be expected to raise kids-it has to start from home and then be a partnership. That isn't happening and the school environment (and society as a whole) continues to decline.
Don't get me wrong. I agree thug parents raise these thug juveys. But the middle and high schools don't do what they are supposed to do to keep the good students good. I've seen it from good kids. They walk by teachers as they blatantly break some rule. No one, I mean no one says a word!! Maybe the teachers are afraid. Maybe they won't be "backed up" by administration. What ever the reason, when the thugs are allowed to run the show, then the show becomes a home for the thugs.

That was in Africa when the men went out to hunt and the women sayed behind to raise the children.
Times have changed.
Now the men are on drugs or in jail and the women are still left to run the family, feed them, house them and figure out what to do with them.

Parents have lost so many rights in the years gone by . You will find that schools and yes the teachers as well have a lot to do with this generation ability to apply common sense with morals.
There are many who should take the blame , but wish to lay it on someone else.
It use to take the whole village to raise a child , now with so many opinion on what is the right way.
That is why it is the lost generation.

How about blaming the parents. Schools don't turn kids into thugs-lack of parenting and discipline at home does. Then these kids go to school and have no respect for authority and the parents have the attitude that their kids are always right so it becomes increasingly more difficult for teachers to actually teach. Schools/teachers shouldn't be expected to raise kids-it has to start from home and then be a partnership. That isn't happening and the school environment (and society as a whole) continues to decline.
Well said

"Give the druggies one chance to get their act together. Provide rehab and counseling to them. If they can't get off drugs and stay off durgs, keep them locked up for good."
why should they be locked up for good? nobody locks up alcoholics just for drinking. your mindset is why prisons are bulging at the seams. simple possession is a victimless crime. taxing the sales and using those millions for treatment makes more sense than imprisonment with no treatment at taxpayers expense.
i also have to add that i don't think drug use should be an excuse for crime. a criminal is a criminal, period. if you drink and drive and kill someone, you don't get any sympathy or b.s. diversion from the court if you tell them you are an alcoholic. i don't think drug users should get sympathy or diversion for commiting crimes under the influence of thier drug of choice either.

| It's all a bunch of b.s. and excuses.... It's easier for criminals to commit crimes to get money than to take their sorry azzes down to burger king or wal mart and actually work. My idea to get down those bulging prison stats is to expand the death penalty. Eradicate the child molesters, rapists and murderers.. they are worthless vermin anyway. Give the druggies one chance to get their act together. Provide rehab and counseling to them. If they can't get off drugs and stay off durgs, keep them locked up for good. But, get them out of prison and put their sorry hides in tents and make them work for their food as they used to. It wasn't called the Pea Farm for nothing. Obviously prison isn't that bad or you wouldn't have these fools being repeat offenders.... I'm smart enough to learn something one time. Doesn't take me two or three or four times.....Crime is out of control and it's ridiculous that working people have to deal with little scumbags like these losers breaking into houses. Just go ahead and stick their sorry tails in jail.. that's where they are going to ultimately end up anyway...

| As far as New St. - there's been at least 3 murders there in the past 2 years. There haven't been any on the road I live on (with at least triple the number of residents) in the 20 years I've lived in this house. My husband was stopped at the stoplight on New a few years ago and someone approached him, put a gun to his head and demanded money. He gave them all he had - $10. When I was growing up, no white person dared drive down Kirkwood St (when the bars there were still open.) If they did, they were looking for drugs. Perhaps there's a reason certain streets are targeted.

I see a shooting took place at Country Village apartments . Also on the west side of town.
I wonder if this is the same apartment where there was reported illegal drug sales going on ? If so did they clean up the place before the police got there ?

The crime rate for home burglaries ,purse snatching etc. will continue to escalate considering the
current economic climate.
One suggestion for homeowners. Most of us have a digital camera, if not we
know of someone who does and can borrow one. I have started taking photos
of EVERYTHING in my home. This is a great tool in aiding police when you are
a victim of a break in. If you have photos of your jewelry, it is helpful in recovering
these items. I have loaded all these photos on my computer, made copies onto
a flash drive and burned a CD and placed in a safety deposit box ((if you don not
have one, you could also give to a relative who lives somewhere else.
I have also scanned my important papers and done thing same with these
documents. Whenever we make a large purchase, I type in the item, description,
model #, serial #, place of purchase, date and purchase price and place it in a
a folder " Household Items". This makes life easier when filing insurance claims.

http://www.doverpost.com/PostArchives/08-04-04/pages/police.html
then check http://www.doverpolice.org.
and you will find that Antonio Guzman they have for the may 5th robbery is the very same one.
How much time did he get for the first set of crimes , that would allow him out on the streets of dover to do it again ?
if you are not sure how to check , just type in last name in the defendant spot
So the way I see it 2000 he was arrested , 2004 he was arrested and now 2008 for the same kind of activity , time to lock the gates and keep him in his own hell , save the rest us.

| They go where crime is most frequent and get those that commmit those crimes. You don't look for beefsteak in a fish store. You go where you are most likely to find it. Common sense. If crime is prevalent in a particular neghborhhod, then that's where they should go or observe. If it happens to be more prevalent in a blsck neighborhood, then face up to the facts and stop calling is racial profiling or racism. You can only make crime worse by tying the hands of the police with PC.

Oh look another crack dealer arrested ( re-peat offender ) on the west side living in a government subsidized complex in a black neighbor hood .
Who's paying his rent ?
Check Dover PD web site
Samuel Thorpe has been arrested at liberty court before and that is his address you would think the owners of the project would toss him out.
Why allow people to continue using Liberty Court as Haven for illegal activities.
