“YIKES” JANET REMIND ME TO NEVER GO ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR “EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER!” WHEN MY CHILDREN BECOME ADULTS THEY WILL NOT BE ON AN EMOTIONAL “ROLLERCOASTER” – I’LL GIVE THEM MORE CREDIT THAN THAT. MY ADULT CHILDREN WILL HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND TAUGHT TO SURVIVE, NOT BE A ‘VICTIM’ – JANET, DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS SHOULD HAVE MORE RIGHTS? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN OVERTURNING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, MAINLY THE 1ST AND 2ND AMENDMENTS? ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE WHO’D RATHER RULE THAN GOVERN, BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE IN SOMEWAY SUPERIOR?
the joker is a dangerous person. she’s not even qualified to hand out a dog license, let alone make decisions that effect us all.
unfortunately there are way too many people like her in our town “government.” these people really do believe in backwards power where the citizen and average voter is meant to be ruled over. there is no question, from what i’ve learned about the joker, that she actually believe she is above the rest of us. she’s very dangerous, like a dictator or monarch can be dangerous. town government in barnstable is out of control
2:05 Janet Joakim believes she is in all ways superior to you and all other plebes in town. She has said on the record that she THINKS she is the most powerful person in town. She has shown no respect for the wishes of her own constituents, or anyone else for that matter. Several attorneys have looked at her website and see big $$$ signs in libel suits against both brokeass Janet Joakim and the town, and then removed them because to many people caught site of her fangs. Daylight was upon her, and she had to delete and retreat to her coffin in the basement until time for town meeting in the evening. Too bad both Jokeass Mountain and the town will soon be on their way to bankruptcy court! 7 idiots site is copied several times a day as she edits often. For example, she posted the names of the 50 people who signed the recall affidavit petition against her last year on her website in an attempt to intimidate and brand them as haters of the town. In her mind ( a rotten, pulpy unholy mess), anyone who disagrees with Janet Joakim or the town HATES the town. This is what a twisted and pathetic wreck Janet Joakim has become. She is indeed dangerous, and I would suggest that given her endless threats against innocent citizens of the town, we submit another petiton to forbid her from both blogging and carrying firearms until she is recalled and tossed out of town politics forever.
As soon as we get Greg Milne some money together for his charter

Just saw this report on one of the cable news networks. He got through two policemen set up for security. Was known for his critisms and stories of conspiracy theories about his local goverment. Shot two policemen, two city councilors, the director of dpw and the mayor before he was killed by police.

Janet – There are two types of people that scare me. Males and Females.
Right now I’m getting in news on the wire regarding another school shooting in Louisianna.
The problem is that there is basically no way to tell for certain who will blow a microchip, and when…
I was never ever for guns on campus. But now I think different. When my kids attend university I would like them to be armed. At least that way they’d have a fighting chance.
When it comes down to it, nuts crazed enough to start shooting will find a weapon regardless, registered or not. Studies show that licensed owners are involed in far fewer crimes.
People are like de-clawed kittens when it comes to defending against a crazed gunman.
A friend asked me once… “do you wanna know why I carry a gun?” and when I admitted I didn’t know, he said, “Because a cop’s too heavy.”

yikes – but with that logic everyone on campus would have a gun and that makes it frightening when you think of the emotional rollercoaster some of these kids experience during college years. And don’t forget that the gunman that shot the city councilors and the mayor got through two armed policemen first. – equally important – he took the gun from one of the policemen he killed.

I know! untrained people should not carry guns… However, look at the rare times these crazed shooters have been stopped – not by onduty cops, but by off-duty armed men and women. It has reached the point, quite sadly, where the inocents need to have their 2nd ammendment rights on campus. Only if TRAINED. and only if ADULTS (18 and over). And Janet, my dear fellow parent, I also tend to view college students as “kids” and in many respects now-a-days they still are, but the reality is that they are legal ADULTS. Men and women should have the on campus right to protect themselves. Crazed gunmen are predators of oportunity. Crazed gunmen will think twice, at least not have the same “easy pickings,” if they knew in the back of their minds that someone on campus (anybody) might be a trained carrier of a concealed weapon. BTW- police, on average, receive less training than most responsible gun owners. and why should police, a privledged minority, be the only ones who can protect themselves? In today’s violent world, police rarely prevent these shootings, more often merely arriving afterwards to take the horrible report, and yes, sometimes they themselves are sitting ducks. Violent criminals have the advantage and that needs to change. I know, I would have responded with “yikes” not too long ago. But my kids are now trained at the use of firearms, safe handling and storage. Believe me when I tell you that being well trained in this form of self defense decreases their stress level. They feel safer. and when they turn 18 they will be getting their concealed carry permits. studies show that trained gun owners are less likely to be involved in or victimized by violent crime. I’m living in the here and now, that’s all.
