Bucks Player Bogut Loses His Temper

Milwaukee Bucks player Andrew Bogut got ejected from the game very late in the 4th quarter for a flagrant foul. Fans were yelling at him and he lost his cool giving the finger to them.

Is this how an NBA Player, or anyone should act?

I didn't see the game, but did see the news reports that followed. I was quite shocked to say the least. As an avid fan of the Milwaukee Bucks, I have not seen this behavior from any of them, let alone Bogut. The season has been less than stellar, and in fact has fallen far below the expectations.

I do not condone this behavior what so ever, and feel that Mr. Bogut owes an apology. I would also say that it was not clear what the fans where yelling. I have been at games and heard the hecklers, some can be down right nasty.

I am sure that there will be some fallout, both from the Bucks and the NBA. I am sure that Andrew Bogut is not feeling so proud of himself today, and I think that we need to reserve judgement on the Man until he has a chance to cool down and speak. He has been a good thing for the team and the community, and this one outburst or lack of judgement should not condemn him.

Green Plate for Sex Offenders

State Representative Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) wants to require that the most violent child molesters be forced to have a fluorescent green license plate on their vehicles. It would let people know when an offender is in the area.

Is this a good idea? I say why not. As a Parent, I sure would like to know when a sexual predator is in my area. The ACLU has a different opinion and is fighting it out in court in another state.

Why do these predators have the right of privacy, after they have violated someone Else's rights. We have to take a hard stand with criminals in general, or crime is going to continue to spiral out of control. Organizations like the ACLU need to get their priorities straight. They should be fighting for the rights of the people violated by these criminals, not fighting for their rights.

What do you think?

Steven Avery

The closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday. Did he do it, or did the police set him up?

If you are from around here in Milwaukee, the police doing something illegal wouldn't shock you. But could they pull this off, I don't think so. Steve Avery appears guilty, guilty, guilty. But you have to admit there are some things that just make you wonder. The blood at the police station?

What do you think? Guilty or Not Guilty?
