Saundra,<br> <br> You are right, I should not have use the word slash, it is confusing to people like you. To me, it is that same thing to have some one slash your tires as it is to stick a nail in it if it causes you to have to replace the tire. <br> <br> I think if Wilson's driveway was littered with nails you would have a point. But having four flats on four different vehicle is a bit more than suspicious to me. Combined with trespassing incidents, harassment over the Internet, tampering with his personal property, and his mailbox, it is smart thing to get it on record. To ridicule someone for making a police report to protect their family and property I think is seriously wrong.<br> <br> As to making accusations against others, I think Wilson made it clear that he had no evidence. But considering the history of one of the individuals, and his suspicions, I think he is correct in giving the police ALL the information he can give them to help them do their
job, rather than saying nothing and leaving 25,000 residents of Moscow and the area to equally consideration. <br> <br> I also find it horrible that you guys are cheering this destructive behavior. If one person can get away with vandalizing and harassing any member of the community because of their religious, political, or person beliefs, the next vandalize might target you or me for ours. <br> <br> I have not heard you or your buddies ever condemn this action, just jeer it on.
