Tom and Charlie, I have to tell you what I saw yesterday up here in the land of liberals. Coming up River Road out of Washington after a lunch with a couple of my gunning buddies, a saw the ubiquitous roadside memorial of flowers and other knickknacks indicating a traffic fatality. As I got closer, I could see the sign attached to the bouquet. It read "DEER".

[Daryl Corona]

You are so Bill, only in the land of liberals would you see a memorial for a dead animal while only a few miles away in DC the crime victims are stacked like cordwood. Kinda sad is'nt it?:banghead:

Guess I don't know how to insert a link to a web sight. It is a story in the Denver Post about Boulder locals holding a candlelight vigil for an elk shot by a couple of cops.

This should get you there...

In Michigan folks cut the HQ off some roadkill deer! The only good reason for an elk vigil/wake is to bemoan not being the one whose freezer it ended up in...

“I know a lot of us have had a lot of anger, a lot of questions, a lot of uncertainty,” he said. “Tonight's a celebration, a celebration of the elk. We loved him. But I think he loved us, too, because he returned to this neighborhood.”

gawd!! what next?

Fella's the Boulder Elk was a three year in a row guest in that subdivison. These two rouge cops have now been arrested on several counts of poaching. The most damning of the charges is conspiring to kill the animal. There are text messages between the two cops spanning about a 24hr period talking about how they are going to kill the bull that night. They shot the animal in someones front yard in a residential area with a shotgun.The off duty officer was suppose to be on duty that night, but called in sick, so he could help his buddy when he called that the animal was down. He also has a side taxidermy business.

What it comes down to is these two are poachers Plain & simple. The residents had reason to be upset.

With all that said:

We refer to Boulder as "The Peoples Republic of Boulder" This is the city that outlawed dog ownership. You are your pets guardian in Boulder. Even Feinstien would find herself a conservative in Boulder.

Paul is correct. I just saw the story on the cops plotting to kill that elk. True, they need some serious discipline and will no doubt get it. Also true, the people of Boulder are total nut cases. I had to work with Boulderites sometimes when I supervised the Arapaho/Roosevelt National Forests and one of my ranger districts was in Boulder. Interesting issues to say the least. In one instance when we were doing a NEPA evaluation for a broad scale noxious weed management plan, I got numerous emails from the Boulder folks begging me to "Please don't kill my mom", and "Our bubble boy will die", etc., etc. This was because some proposed treatments included chemical control as part of an integrated pest management program. I learned that everyone within a 20 mile radius of Boulder is "chemically sensitive". I'm glad I had a Ranger to handle day to day issues!
I hear that the deceased elk will soon be imortalized with a bronze likeness. More of a shrine than a tribute I suppose. The cops will probably hang.

Back in the late '70s I heard a story, true or not, when Boulder was issuing marriage licenses to non heterasexual couples, a cowboy rode his horse up to the Courthouse and dismounted. He then led his horse up the steps to the Clerk's office and requested a license for him and his horse as they had been together for several years and wanted to solomize the relationship.

I lived in Boulder for 18 months and thought it was San Francisco.

The food is better in San Francisco.

[allen newell]

The food is better in San Francisco but the politics are both the same unfortunately. Boulder did have better looking women though.

You got me there. Couldn't tell them apart in "The City".
