I work with Lt. Whittle and he's an outstanding officer! He made a bad mistake in judgement on that day and should be punished! However, the powers that be in the city of Thomson should take into consideration the 16-plus years Lt. Whittle has worked for TPD and the countless hours he works that he isn't compensated for! No excuses for him, but we all fall short sometimes! Keep your head up Scott!!!

I hate that the elderly couple was robbed, but I wonder if the robber was just making a fashion statement when he pulled the old man's pants down. "You look much younger now" the robber yelled as he ran off.

If Scott Whittle had been a Democrat tasering his 10 year old son, not only would the t.v. station not have mentioned the incident, but half of the population would be up in arms over the suspension.

The video for Lt. Whittle is on wrdw.com still. He made a poor choice and should get a few unpaid days at home for this. He should be thankful this guy didnt have a heart condition. If he had asked to get shot, would have he done that too?

I am sure if the elderly couple are reading PTs comment this morning that they are finding her as witty as the rest of us do.

Looks over at PT and whispers: "Jesus".

At 4:47 am, things are just funnier....I geuss.

Hey, come on. I laughed at pt's statement, bet you two prunes did too, ha!!!!!

Has anyone heard about an elderly man getting beaten in the bathroom at the Augusta Mall?

Yep got an email around 9:00 last night from friends, I think the daughter works at MCG. The Mall should have security down that corridor, they also should have more riding around outside. Incidents like this I wish he had had a GUN, you minding your own business and this happens, if he had shot them I for one wouldn't even feel sorry for them. I wonder if this has ties with the other elderly couple with the bank deposits.

5:00smwhr - When did the beating take place at the mall? I heard about the one at Sears a couple of weeks ago, but that wasn't an elderly man. In my opinion, there's a special place for people who abuse children and elderly people.

I the stranger, if the young man would have been seriously injured, would you still feel the same way?

fruitpaper, don't call me that, even in a whisper

Home invasion should be a capitol offense punishable by impalement. And it will be, if my home is invaded

Hmmm I didn't call you Jesus, I whispered "Jesus" to you. whispers it again: "Jesus"

Taking the name of the Lord in vain ?

I'm going to take my wife downtown today so we can both apply for a concealed carry permit. I'm going to be armed as often as I legally can.

Hmmm nothing wrong with calling on the name of the Lord, I will bless him at all times, his praises shall continually be in my mouth, oh give thanks unto the Lord for he has done marvelous works from times of old until this day right now. How is this calling the Lords name in vain? People need Jesus, people need to hear the word Jesus, people need to see the word Jesus even if they are unsaved and hard hearted, his name at that time just may prick their hearts and they may repent and except him as their Lord and Saviour. Nevertheless a seed has been planted.

Good idea double d, who gives a dadgum if a robber gets shot and killed. Good ridance.
What a dumb kid to ask for a taser test. Maybe he is trying to set up the city for a lawsuit. I hpoe not.

The incident from the taser might have stemmed from the fact that most of the folks involved had just gotton off a tally-ho wsagon, which frequently involves a good amount of alcohol refreshment. Scott Whittle is an excellent police officer. He just should have used better judgement; which is, unfortunately, a situation we all have found ourselves in from time to time.

And by the way, Patricia Thomas, I always look for your comments because they put a smile on my face in the mornings. Thanks for having a sense of humor.

that's great, two more idiots with concealed weapon permits.

All good Americans: report to the firing range.

Yeah, palomino9, I hope you aren't the next person forced to take your pants down in front of your spouse. How about being humiliated in front of your spouse and children? Or would you like to have your spouse sexually violated while you are forced to watch? I'm sure you'd wish you were armed then. Or would you prefer to endure that pain rather than have to pull the trigger on someone...it seems so. Sorry, but I prefer to do what I'm supposed to do as a man, and that is to protect my family.

People don't understand that those of us who are willing to take the time, spend the money, and CAN pass the background check aren't the ones that are going to shoot someone for looking at us wrong. We are the ones with self-control and obey laws. We don't treat the right to carry as if this is the wild west. Only if I find myself or my family in grave danger will I use it. Remember the girl a couple weeks ago that was kidnapped, raped, and murdered, but mangaged to call 911 from her cell phone before she was killed while in the back of her kidnapper's van? If she had a weapon she'd be alive today, and a murderer would be getting judged in his afterlife.

DD, don't worry about palomino's comments. She proves time and again she is a flaming, a-hole, idiot!

im getting a permit also so if any democrats break in i can hook em up with some free handouts!

Meinaugusta2, I think that may be the same one, I guess they were talking about him on the news this morning. I had not heard anything about it but I have been out of the loop for a few days. This is why I try to stay away from the mall, I always get leary walking to my ar alone......

Whatever you do SMWHR, don't arm yourself, you should be ready and willing to be assaulted.

It happened back in November. I believe the victim is 54 and had to have surgery for the injuries he sustained.
