Did I say that the Gilford police should have dropped everything else to go rescue this idiot from his own stupidity???? NO! I was simply being a responsible citizen and reporting an incident that could very likely have turned into a tragedy.

Jean, there is no need to leave the forum or to get upset. I was simply trying to make you understand that everyday folks need to take responsibility for their actions-- cross the border without authorization, rob a store, beat a police officer, resist arrest, walk out on thin ice, etc. it is always someone else's fault/problem, etc. Personal responsibility has been abandoned in this country and it makes me sad. My interpretation of your post was the police dispatcher didn't handle the job the way you thought it should have been handled. These days public opinion seems to be police officers can't do anything correct. In my opinion, the police in this country are taking unfair criticism for how they do their jobs and your comment hit a raw nerve. I apologize if I misunderstood you. Have a Merry Christmas. And by the way, don't forget to leave a Christmas bonus for your mailman.
