From Brookfield Readers:
"Excuse me? I wasn't going to comment on this, but this just went way too far, "concerned". I'm not a dope addict, in fact a review of my facebook page where you said I "post about it all the time" I see one old post, clearly taking a stance STRONGLY against a fan page called "Heroin". I don't know what makes you think I'm "addicted" or "post about it all the time", but you shouldn't spread misleading information about people. I'm willing to pee in a cup and show you if you think I'm some dopehead shooting a gun off. Also, about the incident, the picture and story are deceiving as you can't see what I saw in my back yard, and it also sounds like I was just carelessly taking shots into the unknown of the woods, which is untrue and would be incredibly stupid. I had a good backstop and all of my shots stopped well before the tree line. I grew up target shooting here occasionally since I was 4 years old, and have never had any issues with stray bullets or accidents. I'm not trying to say that what I did was OK, I certainly realize it was stupid and there existed a possibility for danger, and I truly am sorry to all of my neighbors. Also, just to clear up some of the questions people above had, it was a .22 caliber rifle with low-velocity rounds (not a pistol). And please people, don't get all paranoid on here, it was in no way similar to Ruby Ridge and the Brookfield police were only doing their job. They were actually quite respectful throughout the process too." —
"Cheryl,
I worked with Jerr at United Rentals and shared alot of laughs with him over the years. I am happy that he found someone like you. It makes me happy to know he didn't die without finding the love we all yearn for." —
From Neighboring Patch Towns:
Stop Hating Public Sector Workers
“Public workers are demonized way too much and most of it has to do with jealously. You always hear those against public employees cry that these benefits aren't available to private sector workers and that is true in a lot of cases, but not all. The main reason why private sector workers don't get these type of perks is due to the fact that they don't demand them.” -
“There's a high cost to low prices.” -
