GEORGE, I agree with you on this one. DCE needs some serious meds. The only reason I read some of his BS is because I find it comical. I bet this guy and Charles Manson could have several house of wonderful conversation together
DCE – I said “IF” you own a bar as suggested by a previous post. You’ve now said you don’t and never have, so I take you at your word on this one.
Looks like I try to comment on the topics and I get attacked, then Sharon Emails me and says I’m not even staying on topic. Look at what people are saying about me. Morning Coffee thinks I own a Bar and that I’m a Hypocrite. Where did you get your Information the Centralia Police Department? I don’t own a bar, nor have I ever owned a bar……..
I simply compared Canabis and Alcohol, keeping on Topic ….. Not to be a Nanny, But Sharon Decker you have contacted me and told me to keep my comments on subject, and each time the subject seems to turn into a attack on me. But thats Ok, I can Poke right back…..Hyporcrite Not, Dirty Cop Enforcer Yes….
Like I aid the Alcohol should be kept in a private room inside the store, Oh and Lets not forget that SafeWay makes it’s Employees Vaccinate to obtain Medical Coverage. Now thats off topic…
Pleeeease, don’t get DCE going again… it’s been nice while he’s been off this site. Let’s just turn a blind eye to his posts. Ahhhh… peace for all. I would however be interested in knowing which establishment he owns. And DCE – if you DO own a bar and then carry on as you do about alcohol consumption… shame on you for contributing to the problems of society… AND being a hypocrite.
Look at what the Public thinks they know about me! George thinks I’m collecting State Benefits and another thinks I own a Bar. I’m laughing My Arse Off. You people know nothing about me. Looks like the Fluoride is working!
“Dirty Cop Enforcer” needs a new job, but only because he needs to get a REAL job since his unemployment and welfare are running out. That, and there isn’t a lot of money in standing around taking videos of cops doing their jobs. Plus, he’s going to have a nice fine to pay after his court case goes through for his latest adventure, sticking his camera into the faces of the cops….
As for the alcohol bit, it’s not the fault of the state or the voters if the kid is asking questions about the booze. After all, it IS a legal product to buy, sell, own, use, etc… Dirty Cop Enforcer is just looking for a scapegoat to blame all of his own shortcomings on. Can’t have him taking personal responsibility for his actions (or inaction), can we?
You need to understand Dirty Cop Enforcer, Alcohol is every where in this world. You need to talk to your children and explain what alcohol is for and How to be used safely or not…. If you Ever traveled or lived out of state it is a norm. Get over your self and get off your high horse and TEACH your children right from wrong, stop blaming society for your short comings as a parent.
Considering the wave of beatings that happen at McD’s, the shootings at Taco Bells, and the violence at roundabouts, I would feel safer at a market that sells liquor than a fast food restaurant!
And DCE, if I remember correctly, you own a bar, and would know just how those addicts behave… or is that the real reason you are upset – now that liquor is available at the market, not as many people frequent your establishment? And you need a new job because income has dropped? Darn, more people drinking at home then drinking and driving from a bar. Ah shucks.
I dont think that most people who voted for the state to be out of the liquor business thought about the consequences before doing so. I agree with the first poster. Hard liquor should be sold from a private room where people are carded and not just on the regular store shelves. Unfortunately, the profit margin is too big for the major change stores to do anything about it.
Alcohol Thefts, The Liquor Store is where alcohol belongs. Look at the Marijuana Laws. Medical Marijuana Can only be used in Privacy and in Medical Marijuana Dispensaries the Cannabis must be out of the View of the Public. So the Alcohol needs to be sold in a Private room within the store. What’s fair is fair. Why should a parent have to explain what Alcohol is to a child when they go grocery shopping. Enough is Enough, Alcohol is a drug and Marijuana is a Herb that is non addicting and does not kill brain cells like alcohol does, Marijuana only clouds brain cells.
The theft of Alcohol is only going to be on the rise as the Economy Implodes deeper into a recession. Look around Lewis County where are the good Jobs? I’m looking for a better job myself. I guess one can just steal a Bottle of JD to ease their Finacial pains if only for a momment. And if you get caught the jail provides free health care.
Thanks Washington Voters for putting Hard Alcohol inside of our Family Stores….I would sure hate it if someone gets hurt in the process of running out of Safeway with a bottle of Jack Daniels and mows down a 3 year old in the process….Where’s the common since. Addicts will stop at nothing to get high!
