Does anyone remember the British vacationers who were murdered in Florida not long ago? Was there an outcry such as we are seeing with the Martin/Zimmerman issue? I think not. I wonder why the different attitude?

    Other than to incite, why would Brian Williams use terminology like "he is walking like a free man" when saying that George Zimmerman was released on bail? Stating facts you would simply say "he was released on bail." There are times when it appears that the News intends more to create news than to report it. This appears to be the case when words like this are used. I sure hope no harm comes to this man, who has not even been tried yet, as a result of inciting comments like that made by someone who should be "reporting."

      Brian, always good to see Chelsea on your broadcast; such a personable young woman. Her

      father stopped in Lexington, Kentucky today to show support for the Go-Green of local students,

      and they were ecstatic former president Bill Clinton came. He spoke to an audience of 6,000 in the

      Rupp Arena I wish you had aired the story.

        Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this Monday evening. Certainly some wild weather this season with a Spring storm in the Northeast and record heat in the West. It is hard to know what exactly to expect each week in the forecast. One hopes the wild weather will become more seasonable all across the nation. Time will tell.

        The report by Mr.Cantore showed him in a snowfall hit area, yet it was not enough to bring down and tree limbs or power lines which is good news for residents. Then in the mountain areas around 18 inches of snow fell. The Spring storm catching people off guard and even cancelling opening until later or closing schools in the area. While the Western part of the nation has been experiencing record high temperatures. One hopes things will be alittle more normal in the forecast in the coming weeks and months.

        The report by Kristen Welker about the Secret Service scandal seems to be getting worse each day with more personnel leaving from the agency. A twelve person now leaving the agency along with the Pentagon suspending the security clearances of military. It is a terrible situation for the Secret Service and the Military officials.

        Nice to see the mother duckling and her ducklings made it safely across the Southern California Highway. A real surprise to dirvers.

        The "Making A Difference" segment by Chelsea Clinton about the Joplin High School Seniors was very moving. After such a tragedy of the terrible tornado destroying their High School and many of their homes and most importantly the tragic loss of life it was certainly a struggle for these Seniors this past year. But they were so very strong and attended classes in unconventional places and they perservered. And now with the help of people across the nation, fundraising, donations by local businesses the Seniors were able to have their Senior Prom. Seeing them all dressed up and having fun at the dance was wonderful. A nice piece.

        Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

        Be Well Everyone!

        Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

        Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

        Lisa

          George Zimmerman is release as he said he wanted out as he was suffering. Now let's let the Justice System do it jobs. Law Schools will be watching to teach this to future students on how the Justice System works.

          John Edwards trial is really a waste of time and money. The donors said they give Edwards the money to do what he wanted but the Prosecution needed to bring him down. So they used his cheating on his wife as a crime and wow most of our setting Law Makers would be on trial if that were a crime. Mr. Young is who the Prosecution is using as the only honest person well that went south when he violated the law by talking and going over testimony with other witnesses. Young knows enough about Law to know you don't contact witnesses.

          President Obama has been fighting for education and college students to get help since 2009. During the GOP debates candidates were against the education system we have now, Romney and Santorum feel students should handle the cost themselves. Mitt even supports the Ryan Plan that would end the Pell Grant and mush of the help students now get. Mitt had his education paid in full by his Dad and really never understood why the department is even needed. But as the student loan rate is about to end and Congress is looking to increase the borrowing rate why beyond what students can afford. President Obama who used the student loan program is stepping in to help the students. Mitt announced today he changed his mine and now supports keeping the rates low until he gets to be President.

          I'm glad to see the Republicans have stopped using the Secret Service topic as a political tool. Most of the same Law Makers attacking the Secret Service are the same guys that they use when overseas. Just think of the secrets they know on all the Law Makers.

          Rudy like others joined the Romney team for the money. So many Law Makers attacked Mitt for a long time now he's the best thing since apple pie. Senator Rubio learned his parents didn't tell him the truth about how they came to the US and friends/Family question if he was born in Miami or Cuba since his parents traveled back and forth for so long even after Marco was born. Obama has shown his birth certificate and people still wont believe he was born in America. One Law Maker said Hawaii wasn't a State in 1961 and many believe that even when the Senator Inouye stood up in 2009 and asked members to celebrate with him the anniversary of Hawaii Statehood 1959.

          It was nice to hear Mitt Romney talk about his time in France but he called it a vacation for 2 1/2 years as it was during the Draft. Mitt did go to Sanford but joined a protest sit in against the Vietnam War and his Dad sent him to Paris. Many young men left for Canada or Mexico and others used fake medical illness but many were Patriots and answered the call to serve and protect the United States of America.

          have a great evening all
