Since the word is out to press...

(I didn't want to say anything yesterday because I didn't know if they were planning on telling the press)...I think this is just GREAT!

The Vermont State Police removed from his gunbelt,Sgt. Johnson's handcuffs and carried them down to PA where they are slapped on Eric Daley's wrists.

I know that there isn't much that could be done in this awful situation but, this just made me smile.

Too bad they didn't hook his cuffed wrists over a trailer hitch and DRAG his *** back to Vermont.....

[Niteshift]

I like the symbolism

[Reagan]

That is awesome!! A good gesture in light of a horrible situation.

[Kentuckian]

Awesome!

[drunkhunter]

That's cool!!!

[Rimfire]

Yep, thats pretty cool.

Part of what I like about this is the sense that the trooper's "family" is working on his behalf, hanging tough, and the dirtbag is revealed to be what he is-- a solitary dirtbag.

My husband said it was hard seeing that little 12 year old girl walking behind her Dad's casket. She was a wreck. Every single holiday, every special event, every Father's day..is only going to bring back this tragedy. Her life and that of her Mom and siblings will never be the same again. The Mother was composed (as one could possibly be) and the two youngest children seemed amazed by all the troopers in uniform. They were quite young if I recall.

They need to somehow tie in this troopers death with the federal drug laws and put this kid to death.
