    " Let's talk about Tribune blog discrimination. Michael Ablan is an accused criminal in a Tribune article just like every other criminal that the Tribune post articles on everyday. Those criminals take their lumps on the blogs, but Michael Ablan’s article does not accept posts yesterday or today. If you are every in the Tribune and take a bashing, sue the Tribune for clear this clear discrimination. They are setting themselves up for a huge discrimination lawsuit. Posting on articles should be across the board and not selective! The Tribune better talk to their company attorney or get ready open your checkbook. "

    " I am outraged that Craig A Groskreutz could steal 141,000 dollars and all he gets is electronic monitoring and three years of probation. Hell he doesn't even live in the area anymore, who's going to be watching this thief? If I stole that much money from my store I bet I would be sent to prison. Man life is so unfair. I guess we just need to remeber that karma will come get him and he will pay in the end. "
