My first (and LAST day) as an emergency dispatch operator

“This blog post is fiction and the events described did not happen. Please enjoy.” Sunday, May 28 was the first day of my new job as an emergency dispatch operator for the Bangor area. As it turned out, I would only take one call. But the guy must have been some kind of criminal mastermind […]

Rented apartments and guns…Whose rights do you trample?

Ever since August of 2015 when wheelchair bound Harvey Lembo shot an intruder in his Rockland, Maine apartment there has been a lot of talk concerning renters who want guns, and landlords who want gun free properties. It turns out that Mr. Lembo’s rental agreement included a rule that weapons were not allowed in his apartment, […]

Keeping our children safe?

So apparently a part-time life guard employed by the Brunswick, Maine YMCA was recently arrested on child pornography charges.

***DISCLAIMER*** I AM NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF BANGOR DAILY NEWS.  THE OPINIONS IN THE FOLLOWING BLOG ARE MINE. So this guy from Newport, and his 17 year old son swipe 11 guns from a home in Franklin County last November, along with ammo, and some other stuff. He gets caught when he hocks one of the […]

Officer involved deaths, & dash-cam videos

This is the second police related incident I am blogging about in a week, and I am sure I am going to pick up some slack over it, but I’d really like to know what people think about dash-cam, and officer-cam videos. In one of many recent police involved shootings, it is being alleged that […]
