Having seen the color and crap job they did painting their house, I can understand the sentiment expressed by the neighbor.

There are probably other businesses that do it, but don't make the paper.

Indeed. On a midwest road trip, we saw a bank offering rifles and shotguns if people opened a new bank account.

It was more a case of the video the person made

I would rather have the reduced price, but offering freebies seems to be quite common and if gets you free coverage even better.

Bugger Oregon ! We're all Americans and we move to and live where we like. If petty mindedness is what's it about maybe the many Oregonians who move to California because they cant find work back home should pack up and skedaddle north

Where are you getting "victim" from? I don't see that in print or implied in the headline or the article. Weigle may still be charged, provided he's still living. Given the history of the feud between these guys they've probably been tooled up every day since the stabbing 8 years ago.

That was the reason that I put "victim" in inverted commas - I was playing off the headline which implies that the firefighter is the bad guy. And a victim doesn't have to be dead.

No charges makes him look guilty? ..... I'll add that to the long list of things I don't understand.
