5 If I can't read it during the day i wait until that evening or the next day so I cut out after everybody's read it. and then recycle
5 Sometimes I'll throw it away sometimes i save it for later It all depends on what the rest of my dsay is like.
5 use it for something else, to start a fire
5 We live out in the country, so we usually burn it.
5 Probably use it for packing, right now.
5 if I get a chance to read it later, cool, if not i'll read the paper tomorrow.
5 it just depends on whether I really want to read it later.
5 actually if I don't get it, like when I'm on vacation or something, it is given away to schools

usually the medical (p) new developments in medicine, anything that deals with that, scientific
I don't have any particular feelings unless I'm following something.
the most important? Usually the front page.
actually most part i pay attention is the birth announcements
i would say the breaking news, front page
front page supposedly (p) i was led to believe many years ago that that was the most important.
usually the headline or the obituary to make sure that i'm not there
the back where you have all youritems listed for sale.
um, the very most important is the business section
the Northwest issues, the local issues, what goes on in the city
the front page section, the local and international
well, I'd say the front page would be the most important
I read the headlines and the frint [age.
well that depends on what happend that day in the news, then I'd read that
that depends, on what is the first page of the headlines. sports
ah the inside of the headlines - well I read the headines then i skip over it
um I usually like section A and LOcal SEction A = front page
hmm I dont know cause every time I read it i read it from cover to end
the front page, around the world and US news
probably local current events within the town that I live in.
um lets see um i tend to read the um international news
a section in saturday's paper called drive time
read front pg headlines and poliuce reports
Well, I like the special uh, uh, what are they caled? The pages with the things that people write in and tell their opinions. The editoritals.
Whats happening around the area, page 1, the general news
hmm, I like the very first section: the international
well I like the whole paper, I really don't have no
um, well i prefer the neighborhood section.
Ususally the news, that's important at he presetn time. headlines and the articles, that's all (probe) The front, the fronmt page.
uh, actually I like the letters to the editor page
Uh, probably the front page. The headlines. That's where you get most of your information.
probably um probably the living section.
Oh, I don't know that theres any specific section. (probe) I actally start at the front and read through it. Our paper isn't as big as some; it's not like trying to read the LA Times.
Mainly buy it for the coupons, whatever coupons I can get
Um, actually I read the metro section first, so that wuld be local, okay, just the metro section, then.
uh, usually the two areas I like to read the most are the business section
Uh, probably the front page. The healines.
metro, has the politics, letters ,opinions
Hmmm...I have no particular well that would be the classifieds.
i think the front page and then the se3cond page over. I t has the local in it.
when I don't have work i read the classified first. when i have work i look at the sales.
mm, i dont know, i guess the home section i tend to look at now, but it just depends on whats going on in my life
Most important...probably my city and local news is the most important.
Um, I read the cover story and the entire um, want ads.
I'd say the furst section. <P> Oh, yeah, the front page.
I read it from front to back. (probe) No.
Y'know, when I advertise something I like to read the classifieds.
Oh, oh wow. This shows how intellectual I am, right? Of course I do read funnies, but I don't really consider that very important. I like to read the editorials, responses to articles; I like to read the national news. (probe) Sometimes it's more impo
um.. never the front pg,obituaries, court news
mm...oh um front page or world news I suppose.
Um what's happening, events that are going on, that people can participate in.
i really don't have a particular, i just glance thru headlines, find stories that interest me, front page
i like the , i don't know that there's any spot becasue I listen to the radio to get the news, but the pages where the crosswords are in
i'm talking about the oregonian now which has a Metro section, which i read first.
Editorials and letters from viewers or readers, it gives you a cross section on whats going on. I'm not too big on political things because they want to get elected but the don't follow through
shew well thats a good wel i d say the first page
well the main section id guess youd say the front page
uhmm the most important i dont know i guess its whatever concerns my bussiness i guess personal stories like school sports.

..um, usually then it's editorial and opinion columns.
Oh, the community events in the area. The things that are going on in the area.
probably the second front, world activities
the "living" section: the cartoons, the columns, the light things
the least important? Oh the second most important. National affairs.
um, probably the cover, the community news, whats going on in my community
Mmm, uh, the, I guess you would say the social.
after that I read the home stuff, and all that other garbage stuff, I guess, I don't know what you call it
well for my comfort factor i lusally read the living section itws sort of my treat
you really wanna know? The obituarioes..
um, i guess the Forum section Letters to the edirtorn that kin do f stuff
living sec--like the metro sec of Oregonian
you'll find this hard to believe, but I read the obituaries
...(clear throat) headline, headline stories, top stories of the day of the newspaper.
hmm, oh, I guess you could say like the front page
the section that is dedicated towards your community specifically
you know I dont' really have any idea, I just read whatever strikes my interest
the news on the front page, that's about it
Igo metro, then I go front page, or the main section.
the front page, that contains local as well national news
I read all of it. I don't know how to answer this, because I read all of the paper all the time. One section really isn't any more important than the others.
Uh, hmm...well, I like to read the treatment news and the doctors and Ann Landers.
The Front section General and international
Mmm...mmm, Idon't know, say the classified I guess.
POh, gosh skes prbably world news ot local news, Local news.
I feel like this survey is being put out by a paper servive. I guess I'm not very consistent about these things. Sometimes I read the science section, which only comes out once a week, whereas other days they don't have it, so I won't read it. I guess
depending on the time of the year either the weather or the business section
um, the little ones right behind that have to do with world and region thay are just little tiny ones, i don't know what they are.
the names, the metropolitan, the local news, i don't care too much about the news that's not in this area
well its kind of a silly one, because its the cross-word puzzle and the other one, the jumbled word or whatever its called. For one thing I think it keeps my brain functioning
Um, the part about my personal community.
uhm i guess stories about the local community

page 2 and page 3 and then i go thru each page
probably about the weather cross country and local
Well it depends on the paper you're talking about, if it's the Register-Guard, the third place I go to is the City News. For the New York Times or the Christian Science Monitor which are the other papers I read every day I go to Features. (p) You decid
(sigh) Well you know it comes in all kinds of sections, it has a comics day, (p) I wouldn't care less about it. the third would be business and then the front page would be the last.
well, lets see i cant think of the four section now i got the four of them - The neighborhood section
There's not really much else of it that I read.
I actually read the paper cover to cover, I don't read the classifieds usually, but I read the headlines: I read world articles and then nice articles, something that sound pleasant
well I skim over the 1st page of the buisness section just to see what they do next. I like to get frustrated one minute they have to raise taxes then down below it says they have all this money
couldnt really tell ya i dont pay that much attention
i guess the front section, the continuing news
uh, mm, uh, I don't know, just the rest of the paper after that,
not a sporyts buff, probablt the editorials
Oh, sometimes the uh, the uh, comments on the same page as the funy papers are. I like the funny papers, too.
oh boy, ah, not the sports & not the ads so there you can put in anything you want, the editorials, maybe
the people section, like the obituaries and stuff
ads and sales, retail; glance over the war stuff and that, or potential world problems, not teribly intrest.
um...um geez um like community activities that are going on.
Ma'am just whatever catches my eye, like the weather, depends on what I'm looking for.
whatchamacallit, where people write up the newspaper, different opinions, stuff like that.
oh, the want ads area, the stuff for sale
I don't think go beyond on that. The reason I don't get it that often I think it's too liberal.
oh gosh.. i really dont have an opinion on that , whatever i feel like
and after that I like to see whats going on in the area and if something important is going on in the world I read about that, too
hten I read the what's called the lving srection, got he comivcs aand all those things, and sports last (rpobe) Living is the third.
i don't know ijust read it just for a pastime
where they have those live or entertainment, something like that
Like I said, I really don't know because all of the paper is important to me.
well, let me think...well..I guess it would be editorial
Oh probably the obituaries and the people who have been picked up. <P> Picked up by the police.
uh, oh man, that i couldn't tell you. i don't know.
information about new services to the community.
Oh ah.. The comics and the related sections that are in that part of the paper
um, um, i dont know, um, idont know, i guess i really dont have one
Metro. Those are all about the same. I dont' really like any one of those any more than then others.
Same as the first two answers. (probe) No.
Oh, I don't know. Probably foreign news.
Just the main page. Whatever it's called, the general, the first section.
Well, I probably read a certain amount of reviews on things, book reviews and movie reviews. Concerts and other forms of entertainment that I'm interesteed in going to to get a feel if it's going to be a worthwhile event.
I read the obituaries to make sure my name isn't there. No, seriously, I like to read them just ot make sure that I don't miss anyone who has passed on, because I would feel awful if I didn't pay my respects. You know, like someone that I used to work w
mm, whats goin' on with the rest of the country
i don't know, i just read to be doing something
that's about as far as i get into the newspaper
I love sports, so I read the sports page. I can't believe that I still like sports at my age.
noine is any more important than the others
national and international news. (mostly because i feel like there's nothing you can do about it.)
just everything that isn't on the front page, the rest of the stuff
um, I think probably the political stuff
Well, I really can't answer that one, because I read all of the rest of the paper.

4 usually it's how the governor feels that day, he's just a figurehead so he's going to go with his local government feelings
4 um, full jails, inconclusive case against, a possibility that the case was tarnished; that someone thinks they can get them off.
4 they 've got the DNA testing, but I really don't know. I read about people being released often.
4 overcrowding, I would think they just don't have room for some of the people, so....
4 Well, um, I guess it have to be a combimation of all of those things.
4 t has to do with poltics and who they know
4 well if I had anything to do with it it would be on how they get along with other people or how they cooperate, but I wouldn't have any idea
4 Politics, room. (probe) No, I can't. Well, overcrowding in the jails makes a difference. Sometimes it's the judges, changing the rules. They go along with what is popular in politics.
4 that means if you commit murder if youir just a kid and done something stupid and you think he can be rehabilitated then why not
4 oh depends on how cruded the prisons are depends on what the judicial system wants you know
4 it depends on who's in charge of the parole baord and they're based on an individula case
4 would depend on type of crime, prison space, who the person was who committed the crime and what class of society they committed against.
4 over crowding of prisons and "gliches" psychiatric reviews when people thing they are safe, and they aren't; and how good their attorneys and how much money they have. Money is very important. I think race lots of times has somehting to do with it. I so
4 good behavior and appeals, I think now they are making sure they have evidence to convict the person, like DNA testing
4 I would say it would be a combination of all (p) right of the good behavior and successful appeal and the other one.
4 probably influence.(P)how a person can manipulate the system
4 New evidence, um I'd have to say something that pointed to where they should be released, that they're not a danger anymore.
4 usually because they're just lucky i guess, they get the right lawyers
4 the political climate outside ofthe prison
4 well um mistakes liuke just recently in our area someone was released who killed someone (rel. by accident
4 Uh, I think it would be a combination of all the things that you said.
4 Um, it would be a part of good behavior and um, um, I don't know hoe to say it. I guess I would just say part of good behavior.
4 um, combination ov the above. politicatl conditions.
4 Y'know, just a parole board letting 'em out because of a mix-up or they're out of money for jail space. As a matter fact, here was a thing on tv ABOUT A GUY WHO KILLED TWO KIDS AND HE WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON AND HE WAS RELEASED AND HE KILLED SO
4 It just depends on a lot of factors. (probe) Depends on which cycle they're on in overcrwoding, the deals, good behavior. I know too much about to give any one answer.
4 i think its an overcrowed prison system
4 combination of good behavior and something else , need for more beds or worse coming in
4 Overcrowding, bleeding heart liberals, that kind of thing.
4 When they have enough money they can find a way to get out of jail. for example drug traffcers find a way to pay their way out of jail.
4 combination of things: obviosly good behavior, rehab and other things
4 pROBABLY ALL OF THOSE. i THINK MONEY HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT.
4 i think jails being too full and they need somwhere to put people
4 the crowdedness of the prisons. (P) i can't think of anything else
4 Oh, I suppose there are jails are getting full. That's just kind of the way the system works. Well, I guess not for life in prison. I guess I'm going to say that it's because the appeal for a shorter sentence rather than a differen
4 I would think it depends on two things: how they sepnd their time there and how good thier lawyer is.
4 Well, it's a little bit of everything you've just mentioned. <P> Yes, it's a combination.
4 Any of those or all of those. It could be a combination of any of those. There could also be other reasons. <P> Now they have lots of different programs and things, so I really can't think of any for sure, but I do know that it could be more than on
4 Well, I suppose it has something to do with maybe they were not guilthy in the first place.
4 I think it's the severity of the crime and how much work the justice system is doing at that particular time. And i don't believe the justice system is fair. I think it depends on how much money you have.
4 I think money always enters into it. <P> Yeah, I think that it mostly has to do with how much money they have. <P> How much money the convicted person has.
4 uh...liberals (laughter) people that think that it's unfair for people to be punished justly I aguess you could say. I'm a bit of an extremeist on criminal penalties.
4 i don't know, they just get out all the time
4 General the prisons are overcrowded, so we'll let this one go. <P> Prisons just let people go because there's no room for them.
4 uh I believe that it could be changes in the system. (p) I will say government policies or particular situations which I'm not totally aware.
4 I think they just don't have any room for them, so they let them out. Thier comportment has been good enough so the let them out just to get the space.

i don't even know for sure what it is now it just seems like there's too many people sometimes, in schools and stuff
about 2/3 of what it is right now. (P)reduced by about a third, we are not equipped up here to handle it
I wish all the Califronias would go home. my family's been her since 1847. I guesss that wuld answer what I thnk of the population od Oregon,expecially Washington county. (probe) Gosh, I dunno. Send the Californias home. Send silcon vally bak to Silico
Well, I don't I would like to see Salem be smaller. I don't want it to grow anymore.
I don't know. I don't know the exact numbers.
probably the size it was in the early 80s, seems like the las t ten years it has goten bad.
oh i dont know i don't know what it is [P] oh maybe down to a million i dont know oh shoot k down to a million
well id like to see it reduced by a third
I don't know what the size is right now but whatever it is it's too many
i really dont know i just know its too large
id like to see it reduced to where theres not too much polution and cojestion {p} number wise no
thats a tough question maintain at the current level and control the growth
ha, ha, ahh, far as numbers, I don't know, but its pretty congested in the valley
uh, lets see, I'd say reduced by 25 per cent
well, ido not want to see it reduced, i know you have to progress, i do not want to see it fall it into economic distress
I can't giving a number on that I just think the metro areas are getting out of hand.
um, well, I'd like to see it not increase. Its already too large, we should limit the population that comes into the state if we can, we probably can't tell them all to go away.
oh, lets see, maybe oh 500 people per mile.
i don't know, that's kind of hard to answer. i guess everyone has the right to be here.
um i dont know what is now, i dont know, smaller
you cant reduce it. id like to see 'em reduce it but theres no way to reduce it.
I don't know, I don't know the population, five million or something? I don't know, all I know is what I see, there's a lot of unemployment, if the population went down it should be so the businesses could support the population.
oh I'd like to see it go down to somewhere in the neighborhood of a million and a half people
jee I dont know if we can control that. The roads are very busy too much developement. I dont know that I would change it. Lets keep it as it is.
oh wow ah.. just stay right where its at
Um, what is it now? Um, reduced to six hundred thousand.
Hm...I don't think I have any control over that. <P> Reduced 10% of what it is now.
Uh, take everything west of the Cascades and make it another state. That probably makes you laugh, huh?
Oh uh I have no idea, I don't know, I just like a small town, if I lived in Eastern Oregon I'd probably like that. I don't like all this heavy traffic.
id like to, I dont know how you would put it, the sizes of the houses are getting so big that they are crowding the wildlife.
oh gosh i dont have a clue, western half is overpopualted, the eastern is under populated
oh, I'd like to see it drop to about 2 million
One million. I know, in a perfect world.
I would like to see the population get to about 4 million.
i'm not sure what the population is, i think it's 3 million? i'd say reduce it by a third
Uh, probalb yhe size of the population duringthe pre-Californiaian era. Ha, ha, ha. <P> Probalby reduce it by twenty percent.
Oh, gosh, I don't know. I don't even really know what it is now. I just think that it is getting too big, but I really don't have an opinion about what it should be reduced to.
I would like to see social services grow to keep pace with the population.
i don't know what it's at right now, if it were to stay the same i'd say it's ok, but i live in medford and the population is getting disgustingly huge
laughs I dont kjnow so much that I want it to be reducedtheres to many people in concentrated areas
Ah a.. pronanly just two thirds of what itis now
um, what it was 15 years ago [p] no, i dont know a number
I uh, I know that it doesn't need a whole lot more people. Have you been driving on the freeway lately? <P> There's tons of people on there, and it's a big hassle.
No. Idont knpow what it is now. I don't know.
i have no idea of what the population count is, all i know is its very congested and thats what i'm basing my opinion on, i'm sure the next census will let us know [p] i could see it reduced down to what it was 10 years ago
where you cold travel. it's like california now. the traffic is terrible
Um, gee I don't know. I think um, well, let's see reduce it to um, gee I don't know um, I would say if we reduced it to 3/4 of a million.
Oh, boy. I don't know. I'm not even sure of the numbers right now. I know that Portland and Beaverton are getting way too big. Um, boy, I don't know. Let's say reduced by at least a quarter.
I dunno, to the way it was 10 years ago.
I don't know the figure as in the total population in Oregon itself, probaly 3/4 of whatever the amount is.
Oh, I'm not sure, but let's say reduce it by a sixteenth. It's just getting out of hand.
our area is too populated, they aught to put them in easrtern oregon out in the sage brush
I don't know really what it is right now, so I don't know what I'd want it reduced to. I guess to stay where it is, 'cause it isn't going to go down, I doubt.
I don't know. I couldn't say, but we have too many. In my personal opinion, we've got too many foreigners in this country.
i don't know what it is right now so i don't have any idea
i don't know - 2 or three million, i don't know what it is now
i'm not sure what it is right now. I'm not sure how to answer that. I'd like to see it just stabilize if nothing else.
I don't know what it is, so I couldn't tell you
Uh, I don't know. I don't like people, so this is a hard question for me to answer. I like small towns of about two thousand, so I really don't know. <P> Well, it's hard for me to answer since I don't like people.
the level it was 50 years ago, but i know thats unrealistic and we have to make the best of it
well, i don't know what it is now, but reduced by 100,000
well, its grown the fastest the last 5 years. probably what it was in the 90s; I think because of traffic, prices of housing--out of reach. for most of the people paying property taxes it is much too high.
oh probably a third less than what is here now, when I think of schools, and housing and land...its just being gobbled up/ on the other hand I have no right, because I came out her from the midwest 50 years ago. So saying they shouldn't come out is not be
i dont know what it is right now i guess to what it was five yrs ago

well, i don't know there's plenty of room in Eastern Oregon and central Oregon. (p) probably another half million
overall probably about 3 million, aren't we at about 2, so double, 4 million
i don't know, don't know what the population iis currently
i don't even know how much it is now. they can expand they just need to use all of Oregon.
id like it increased to i dont want to limit people but sh-- 25 million more
oh just um just no restraints just however many i would like to see the people that try to restrain gowth i would like to see that gone im all for more population

Use it for hunting. but I wouldn't want to give it up if I stopped hunting. i would use if for selfdefenxe
i would never expect it to ever be fired in the home, it's a hunting rifle, in fact it's not even loaded.
protection or well uhhh..perhaps to shoot a raccoon. huinting I guess
they'd have to have awfully strong hands, because they are locked up; (p)that i left it somewhere where they can find it, and loaded and the most stupid scenario that you can imagine, that's exactly what kills people, it isn't the guns themselves
i guess somebody was breaking into the home, threaten my life, i wouldn't use my pistol
probably target practice, or shooting at a coyote or something. (p) target practice.
self defense in alife threatening situartion
self defense, protecting my family from an intruder; somebody trying to hurt my family or rob us
somebody coming in my house, self protection
I really can't think of any reason why it would be fired. I suppose if someone if your life or someone in your families was in danger, it mught be fired. That's the only reason I can think of that it might be fired.
Um, the only reason would be is if someone was breaking in and me or my dad fired the gun. Even then, it would be very unlikely. It's for extremem circumstances only.
someobody reassembled it and testing it shot it
if somebody was going to hurt my family.
Hunting? iut ouwld not be fired inteh ime, it would be out in the woods wher it belongs, or on the trap range.
I'm jsut keeping it for someone, so it wouldn't be fired.
Guns are small, in a collection, they have no bullets, so there is no chance that they would be fired. And I don't think I could scare a burglar, anyway.
My husband's hunting, or target practice.
um, to kill a critter, a possem or somethin'
um, if it were fired in my home, it would be self-defense; the most likely would be for hunting or targe shooting--I just don't do a lot of hunting in my house
its never been fired and Ive had druggies next door. I suppose if someone came in with a knife or a gun and threatened my life then I would protect myself if I could find my gun and load it. Believe me I ve been worried.
hunting, but it wouldn't be fired in home.
some one would draw on me first on my property
it would have to be somebody breaking into my home
probably self-defense, thats the only reason it would be fired at all
cyotes howling at night to make them stop because our dog howls with them, so I shoot the gun to make them stop. I don't shoot at anything. Also we had some prowlers around here and I finally went out and shot the gun off to scare them away. They killed
threat upon myself or my family from an intruder
i have no clue. we're due to get rid of it.
if a gun in my home would be fired, well it wouldn't be fired at all in my home ..... unless somebody broke in, under attack, maybe
somebody breaking into my house, forcible entry
practice range--shot gun, loaded to know down. took a gun safety class.
um, probably, in the home? the gun here, why would we shoot it? for target practice, hunting, that sort of thing
umm target practice hopefully thst would be all
uh some psych coming into one of the windows or doorshed have to be ranting and raving it would have to be someone who you knew were going to try and hurt you.
It won't be fired in my home unless self-defense.
(laughter) shoot at a crow or something, just target practice is all we use it for.
um, someone trying to come into the home that wasn't supposed to be.
Why would the gun be fired in my home? Oh, it would be an intrusion into my dwelling. Under the Oregon state law you can use your gun under three instances: to defend yourself, to defend another person,and to defend your dwelling. If somebody enters yo
Outside of hunting it would be self-defense. We hunt a lot.
Um, well if it was fired in the house? (probe) Actually, it's only fired in the shooting range.
Um, it would be an accident. It's taken apart. We have a child, so we just take it apart.
Uh, I would be killin' somebody comin' through my door.
It would'nt be fired in my home, I don't think.
it would be in case someone would try to break in, invading my property and inteds to do harm to me or my family or property
someone come in that wasn't supposed to.
Hmm...I don't think it would be fired in here because I don't have any bullets.
Uh, somebody trying to get in the house or somebody shooting at me. I would never shoot anybody unless they were shooting at me. Well, let me just say self-defense. I'm having trouble knowing what how to say this. Self-defense.
uh, probably a stray dog or a skunk. shoot them.
I dont really know cause its locked up and not loaded
Uh, probably be just practice. I was going to say shooting somebody, but it would be more likely that I would fire it just for practice.
Well, I don't know. I just go out and shoot every once in a while.
Um, I'd say hunting or protcetion. Most likely it would be hunting, though, but also for protection. <P> Yeah, the most likely reason would be for hunting.
Be fired? Oh, pleasure. (probe) Shooting squirrels, just plinking.
If it was to be fired. Oh jeez...probably for target practice.
Probably for target practice, most likely.
Um, well I don't think there would be a likely reason.
they aren't real accessible in the home so...
Because my life or someone I love's life was in danger.
um, at a coyote or a raccoon chasing the dogs, that would be the most
um, there is no reason, it wouldn't be fired. It was my dad's it is a single shot rifle and its put away.
either target shooting or hunting, i have 4 rifles that are locked in a cabinent and i have non negociable rules ,i have one son who carries on the same rules, never pointed towards someone
somebody broke in my house, self-defense

that's a tough one i don't really know because i never really got a chance to watch the trial, probably would have done somewhat the same as what the judge decided
Life in prison without possibility of parole only I'd really mean it.
i think that there are times when people need to make amends for their crimes and there are times when people don't care about what they are doing, so i would have given him the death penalty because he shows no remorse and no caring about anything
I wouldn't have. I think the sentence was good.
that's really hard for me to say i don't know
I'm not intelligent enough to know how to do it. I don't have expertise in this area. He's a mental case, and I'm not intelligent enough to know what to do about this.
I don't htink I would sentence him to death I would rather support him. But I wouldn't change it
i would have required mandatory counseling if it's not required
i don't know, i didn't follow that too close
I would have given him the chair. Capital punishment.
I wouldn't have, it was a fair sentence. (p)
i dont think to me i think tahts abot as good as it gets
(laughter) I would have just left him, what he's doing is fine, let him sit there in misery and think about it.
If I would have had the capability to sentence him, I would have given him the death sentence or capital punishment.
well i believe he shuld spend the restof hs life in jail i dont velieve he should be allowed out on the street again ever
well hes obviously to me disturved so he has to go away somewhere and i dont think hes probably rehabilitated so he needs to go away forever either to ;prison or a psychotc place i dont iknow
um, I would do like a with sentence but with some type of councelling or rehab, something to make him a better person
how? hhhh, well, I don't know. I haven't thought about it.
I wouldn't have sentenced him differently
I agree with the sentence except I think that it should be in a mental institution instead of a jail. Oregon should have mental facilities.
oh i 'd say like um like get him involved with jesus and heavenly father and all tge helop he needs.
well, I, agreed with the sentence and I dont' think I would change that
I would have had him put in a psychiatric unit.
Eliminate him. He took too many people's lives, his life needs to be taken, too. But they shouldn;t let the state do it, they should let the victims do it. They should have thirty days to string him up and do whstever they want to with him. The state
i would have sentenced him to life in a mental inst. and getting help and have him do work behind bars so hes not just vegetationg
I don't now. Uh, he needs to be in a nental insuttiution is herre he needs to be. Cause they when they put hie in prosion he;s gonna becmone someody;s litle boy if oyu carch myt dift and he won;t re ei ve any rehabilitqations, but htat 's the fault of
I don't know that i would have sentenced him differently
i think he got the just thing what he should have gotten.
i would have probably given him the death penalty.
I wouldn't have. Because they said that his brain structure said that it wouldn't allow for rehabilitating at all. So if he can't be made better than he should stay away from society.
um, I don't know, probably give him the death sentence
um, probably sentence him to a mental institution
oh boy um with the ability for parole with a periodic review
I dont think you could Im sorry for him I really am. You know if they go off medication they will do it again
oh boy thats so hard. i think i know he was sentence ebecause the crime was so horrendus and i know he could never be reabilitated. but i think it was a tragedy all around for him, his sister, i don't think locking him away is the solution. at the trial w
no, have all the parents have their way with them.
mmm I dont think I would have he deserves what he got
I would have added a few more years to it.
i dont know id have to know more about the incident than the general public knows to make such a decision
i might want to make conditions better in jail
figure out a way why it happens to teach others a different way Its hard I don't know
i think think that i would just have sd life
i don't know, just life i guess instead of a number past life
oh i would at laeat somehow given him some time of parole after a 20 year sentence
probably would have sentenced him to death
i think he needs intence therepy for the rest of his life i dont think that he should be lokced up and left alone but i dont think that he'll ever be well enough to be in society again
sentanced to 150 years incase he lives that long or death because he's a drain on society
I probably wouldn't have sentenced him differently
id have probably given him the death sentence
Well, I think that our schools need to get back to teaching the 3 rs and not have all this stupid stuff. We need to get back to the basics. You have a group of kids htat are superior and they seem to run everything and the ones that aren't so talkative or
i think he need4ed a lot of counseling, mental counseling, I dont think prison will help him
Boy, um, I would have had parole as an option based on psychiagtic review but not before 25 years.
um, I don't know. I probably would have given him a longer prison sentence, I wouldn;t have given him the dealth sentence, but a longer prison sentence without parole
I've never thought of that. I probably would have sentence him to a place where there would be hard labor or something of that sort. Somewhere where he would have to work.
I would of sentenced him with the death penalty
I would put him in a psychiatric facility instead of a prison
uh, I wouldn't probably have sentenced him differently, I don't think he should be put to death
Well that's a good question!! He'd probably well I really can't ans. that because I don't have the ans. of crime in today;s society I would like to help rehabilitate
he's unstable so he should have gotten what he got.
um, I think I just wouldn't make him stay in prison for 112 years, I would make him do stuff for all the families of those he hurt and killed
I realize he is just a kid, but I would have made sure he stayed behind bars whether McLairin or OSP
he shold be treated . he's sick and should not be put to death. He should be kept in pison.
well i would have made sure he was incarcerated until he was judged responsible for his actions.
well, I think I would have left if just where its at
I think that he needs to be spending time in an institute and needs counciling and help. School shootings are a cry for help. continue his education behind bars.
tried to give him some mental help. he needs mental help not just life without parole.
I think it was the correct sentence to give him
um, without more information on the case, I can't say I would have done any different
life without parole ought to give him 21 years.
I would of insisted in getting mental help
I would have included counseling rather than just inprisonment
i probably wouldn't have done it differently
i would have tried to seek some kind of mental health, not that kind of the sentence; not going to solve the problem
i' want to see that he suffered the way those people died
I haven't really kept o it, I haven't really watched the news much, the news is depressing to me. (p) Well I didn't follow it, I really don't know, I don't know the details so I couldn't make a judgement on that.
i'd have to think that over, that is a tough question
um I wouldn't have done anything differently or changed the sentence.
Well I'd certainly wouldn't have given a youngster like him the death sentence, gee I'd just sentence him as the law required, and looking into the future maybe he could be rehabilitated in a few years. I disagree with the death sentence, once they're de
I don't think i'd sentence it any differently. I was summoned for the jury for a murder, I'm against the death sentence, so the strongest sentence would be life in prison.
i realize prison isn't the proper place for him but he needs to be in a place because he has to deal with some mental problems, but i feel that all the counselling in the world and medicications will not cure him. i have a relative that attempting suicide
I don't think I would've done it differently.
I, maybe more time (laughs) I dont'know what I'd do, I think the sentence was correct for what he did
Um...Oh gosh, that's hard to say. I probably would've done it the same. Or maybe given him more.
uh, hmm, the crime would fit the punishment. He committed murder -- I believe in an eye for an eye -- they should have sentenced him to death
Im sorry I know hes a kid but children didnt used to plow people down and I think he needs a lot of help and a lot of years
i have no idea (p) I would have had him had more counseling (p) yeah, as part of the sentence.
I wouldn't have. It would have been the same.
that would be a rough 1 I probably would have a stipulation much later in his life just you know a review . then they could just review it you know.
um well firstm I dont think he will survive 112 yearsand I also feel we need to understand more about teenagersand I mean treat them alittle better instead of thinking all of them is the cause of the problem we do have some really good teenagers out the
Um, I probably would have gave him twice as much time.
just the same that he has to live all life ther no parole
I am not sure., obviously he is going to die in prison I'd want to make sure he had some type of help to help himself
Oh, I think uh, psychiatric treatment first and then the sentencing. <P> The sentence would depend on the outcome of the pysychiatric help. If the outcome was good, then the sentence would be reduced.
I wouldn't have given him 112 years but oh /i don't know maybe 30 years
death penalty, killing people and not knowing why there is somethng wrong with the head
...oh I think I'd left it about the way it was, too young to hang him, but I think he's no good for himself or anyone else.
probably reevaluate in his older age to see if he changed at all at age 50 if he lived that long
i probably personally would have given him the death penalty
I don't know if I would have. I might have had him executed for what he did.
I believe in the death penalty in cases of premeditated murder
um, how? I would have tried to figure out what was wrong with him first, before it got to far.
i might have... i dont know if judge ordered it, but ordered counseling for his stay in prison, but would not have altered his sentence
I don't know that I could have done any different
No differently, I don't think, no differently.
Hah...uh...I, we'll go with thirty years, sure. I don't know.
for one thing he will never serve 112 years, he should work, i dont think i beleive in the death penelty, he deserves to serve his sentence,it is a tradgedy
death penalty, not worth the money, he took the responsibility, if he ever gets out....
Um, I don't think it would have been so long becuase it's not logical. I think that he should have spent some time in jail because anyways he's probably going to die in there anyways.
i think it was fair, i wouldn't have given him the death penalty, i think it was about right, the rest of his life
hmmm...unless I've been there I wouldn't want to presume
i think i have sentenced him with shorter time and possibility for rehab or treatment because of him mental condition
same way, i don't believe in the death penalty so there's really nothing else to do
I would require intensive teraphy and rehabilitatio
well, i believe in the death penalty, but I don't know, i could say, i'm not sure about that for him. (p) No, he needs to be kept away from society, that's my feeling.
wow that a good one. i don't know i propbaly would have done the same.even though he has mental problems so what. i would als have punished the springfield police for releasing the day before. i thik have punished them somehow.
TO BE SHOT WITH HIS OWN GUN SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SUPPORT THE SON OF A GUN.
I think he should have been placed somewhere he could get the help he needed
i have no idea, I would have had to have been there to hear the case.
i was not a part of the jurty and i do not have enough information to make a judgement of the sentence
I don't, hmmmmmm, well I ah, hmm, I don't know. I mmmm, Oh gracious, well, ummm, instead of , well, I would have examined some other ummm because he is so young. (p) There's room to examine younger people.
i don't think i would have sentenced him differently
I dont think I would have sentenced him differently
Probably would have given him a life sentence in a mental institution of some sort because he fell through the cracks of the system
i'd have executed him, death penalty or whatever
no, i would have given him life, maybe not 112 years, but life
um, im not quite sure, i guess i would make sure he was being treated for his mental sickness, but i would probably sentence him the same
You know the saying do unto otehrs as you would have done to yourself? Well, they should do the same thing to him that he has done to others. But hey, you know, that's alway soemthing to think about.
Well, I think life, yeah, Id a done it the same.
I don't know if I would. He's got a mental problem, and you can't put people like that in a mental hospital, so what do you do with him? There's no opportunity to do antything else with him.
weel, you know if he hadnt killed his parents, i would have sentenced the parents, cus theyre the ones at blame here for him
Oh, I wold have ran him outside to a firing squad and gave him what he gave everybody else.
It was probably right, but he was wrong.
I would have just said life period. No parole.
Hmm. I think his sentence was right on the money.
I don't think I would have done anything differently.
i think the boy needs a lot of counseling and in a rehab program and serve fewer years.
Um...I wouldn't. (probe) I wouldn't have sentenced him differently.
I don't know. That's a good question. Not sure.
Um, I don't know. He needs to have help of some kind. <P> He needs some psychiatric help. He has mental issues.
I would have done the same thing to him.
Well, he took a life, and it was basically premeditated, so the life would be takes (probe, whose life should be taken?) Which would be the one that took someone else's life.
Um, <P> Uh, I guess I would give it about the same, I guess. Maybe a little bit stiffer. Can you put down that I might want to possibly give him capital puishment? <P> OK. Yeah, I may want to possibly give him capital punishment.
I don't think I would sentence him differently.
mmm...well I wouldn't have, so I guess that means I'd strongly agreed. Go ahead and change it.
i probably would have given him the same
Uh, people like that, I think they oughta have a certain amount of time, a couple a years to get it together, a case, and they should execute them. I think our judicial system stinks, how about that?
I wouldn't, uh, I wouldn't do anything any differntly, I don't think, on that one.
umm, I would probably put him in his own little cell, and not with other people. He'd have no contact with other people at all
I would have given him the death penalty
I might have asked for the death penalty
He killded his mother and father and uh, I think well, I don't know. Maybe is there anyway that there is a chance of him being rehablitated or anyhting?
I would have gave him what he gave everybody else.
um, i don't think there was a better way to sentence it.
Um...probably more um medical treatment and terminate his life.
Um, I'm not sure. I really don't know. I didn't watch too much about it. I guess I wouldn't h ave done anything different.
well as i say, i dont know exactly, some kind of psychiactric care, i dont know if that was in there
i ..thats a tough ?, he is quite mentally ill, can create strnge circunstances, I have empathy, i dont feel i can give an unbiased and fair opinion on that ?. Our knowledge of mental health is not sufficient enough, so he needs to be kept away from societ
um...i made him walk in the shoes of the lives he's maimed
i wouldnt have i probably would have hng him, death penalty
i don't know that i would have, i don't think so, because we've got to start someplace becasue we have too much of it
i don';t believe i would have the sente3cence was juswt
i don't have enough information to answer that (p) i think the state in general needs to be doing more for mentally ill and mentally impaired people. state and local, generally i don't think we do enough.
I think that he needs sentenced to a um, mental facility for the rest of his life, not in a maximum security place. He needs a place where someone can help him.
I can't believe he's sane, so put him in a mental institution. <P> Well, I'm not sure for how long, but he definitely needs some kind of help or something. I just can't believe that he's sane.
uhm i dont think i would have i would have done what ever to keep him off the street

I'd make it 25 or 30 years with some counseling, education to improve his problem
just a life sentence with the possibility of parole
I would've sentenced him for 30 years and one day.They have to do for 30 years before the one day to hold it over their head.
Uh,...well it's hard, I would have liked to seen an opportunity for treatment for his mental condition and if that was taken care of, a possibility for parole, not a guarentee of parole but an opportunity conditional on treatment because he was so young w
ummm...depends on how his behavior in prison is keep couseling doing help have reviewed after 20 years.
i'd have sentenced him to death without plea bargaining, the system is supposed to protect the innocent, it's just wanton murder multiplied, if i had my way we'd kill him as many times as he killed other people.
well, i would have made sure he got some mental help first, then i would go from there. the treatment's out there but it's easier to build a jail (P) it's cheaper to build a jail than lock him up in a mental hospital which would be closed and then put hi
i would take into acount thathe';s a child but also his hate and i would give him a second chance
if he had taken medication he may never have been like that and as an adult. I would not have sentenced him to life.
I think he sould have had a little bit more of a mental evaluation and have been hospitalized. I think some of his teachers knew about the problem; I read that he had blurted out that these voices would stop bothering him. I would think somebody would hav
Well, I think he needs um, a lot of counseling and um, that's a hard decision because I know his crimes were so herendous, but I think that he shold have had a lot of couseling before any of this. So, I don't think they um, gave that soution that much co
Um, I would have given him the ability to have parole. Prison isn't going to rehabilitate him. If they're going to give him life in prison without parole, they should have given him the death penalty.
Oh, uh, I'm confused about his mental status, and maybe more consideration should be given for that. He may need some sort of care for that, but not the type he's getting.
well that I have no idea, because I don't know him and I always feel sorry for people who can't help themselves
well, i certainly would not have sentenced him to life in prisoned. i think that 25 years wuld have been plenty for that man, i mean boy. too stiff a sentence. i knwo what he did. but without parole, no i do not.
Umm.. gosh I would have sentenced KK with much therapyand umm possible parole within many years.
years in the juvenile thing till he was 20, then in the adult thing for another 20 or so.
I would have stuck him ihn a mental instti
i would have first given him 20 years of mental study and incarceration and then decided on duration of incarceration. It's
...um...maybe like thirty years with a review of his prison record of his uh, sociability after thirty years.
i think that there should have been the death penalty.
the legal system should not be so lenient and enforce the law properly. It was an over - reative sentence. i life sentence is sufficient without parole.
he's a kid and has mental problems, it's wrong
i dont think that he belongs n prison i think he belongs somewhere he can get help but i dont think that he should be released into the general population
he needs medical help plus he will serve his time but he needs treatment
i'd have killed the (expletive) right off the bat
dont know id have to think about that [p] not right now
I would have the absolute maximum, but not dfeath penalty
i'm for capital punishment and I think the death penalty would have been good
i would want to make sure he'd old and grey but well taken care of as far as his mental condition; if he managed to get well, let him go.
a lesser, 112 years doesn't make any sense to me, a less amount of time
well ishould say life in prison with the possibility of parole in about 50 years.
I think he should have been put to death
i would have given him an indeterminant sentece, depending on how he progressed
i would give him, considering he was 15 when he did it, i'd probably give him 25 years with the possibility of parole (p) after
Because of his age, I think there could have been some sort of reform with him. I would base it on his age. I think because fo his age, something could have been done. <P> Probably psychiatric help and couseling in that area. Education. Um, on humant
i do not know. well, I think he deserve many years of jail times , but I had placed him some kind of rehab program and hopefully he would be safe for society
I think he is child and I think there should be a plan to look at child differently
I believe you should have whatever crime you did done to you. I don't believe that the penal system helps rehabilitate. There's been to many statistics showing repeat offenders. They get more criminal knowledge from being in there. The one's that do get b
To death. The death penalty. I mean, see, that's the problem, that these kids are given all this notoriety, and they go to trial, and they get on TV. It's ridiculous.
ah i dont know id say hes still a kid, its tough to say what is going on
He was a child, and they did say that he had pre- or and he was a child, so I would say that he needs mental help right now. I would sentence him to 25 years in a mental hospital, and then he would be eligible for parole.
Uh...needle. (probe) I mean death. I know that's kinda harsh for a kid, but, how old was he? 16?
i would have sentenced him as a juvenile and then have him tried as an adult ot see what his mental condition was
I would have looked at his mental state more closely.
He does need some help, so I hope they're giving him some type of help for that. I don't know how many years, it depends on how he turns out you know as he goes through the years. He was a very agnry boy there for awhile.
112 years in prison is two long. 20-25 years would be better.
Um, due to his age, and his potential, I would try to rehabilitate or reform somehow.
I would've, uh, let him be rehabilitated, and then if he was rehabilitated, let back into society. I would have liked to see him be paroled if he was rehabilitated correctly.
i feel like what he did he will pay for in his mind forever. that's enough in itself. he wanted to be put away. we might be able to do something for him. It's kind of sad.People should have to take a test to see if they're fit to be parents before screwin
Oh...I don't know. (probe) No. I don't think so.
I feel like he's awfully young, and they should have worked with him more. I would've gone with the 25-year amount working with counselors to see if he can be rehabilitated. After that period of time he should be reevaluated to see if he should have res
Death penalty. <P> Yeah, I think that he should have gotten the death penalty.
Well, I think he needs to be in a treatment. He needs to go to a hospital where he can get mental treatment.
if it was mandatory that he would be there that long, I would have just ended it right there. If he's going to be there for the rest of his life, quit wasting my money and give him the death sentence.
i think he has mental problems and i don't think it was his fault. i think he needs to be in a mental institution.
i think i would have let him be out on parole after many years of prison and therapy. he's pretty young to be in prison the rest of his life.
um...i dont know how i would, i think he was too young to be sentenced for that long
He should have been put to death. I think they are gointg to let him out and he is going to do it again. I think we are going to spend million and millions of dollars keeping him alive and then he will get out on some kind of a fluke and he'll go out and
Well that's a really tough one but all I can say is I would have not have sentenced him to spend the rest of his life in prison. (p) uh I would have given him the chance to prove that he will change.

4 i dont have one oh what is it? non partisan i think thats what they call it
