Guidelines for posting on bangordailynews.com

The Bangor Daily News encourages comments about stories, but you must follow our terms of service.

In brief:

1. Keep it civil and stay on topic
2. No vulgarity, racial slurs, name-calling or personal attacks.
3. People who harass others or joke about tragedies will be blocked.

The primary rule here is pretty simple: Treat others with the same respect you'd want for yourself. Here are some guidelines (see more):

It should be noted this is not a comprehensive list.

• Don't insult one another or the subjects of BDN stories. You may be ticked off at what someone did or said, but you can explain that without resorting to name-calling or obscenity. Remember that young people are on this site too.
• That nasty line that makes your buddies go "haw, haw"? You're better than that.
• Comments should be your own work, not copied and pasted from elsewhere, though brief quoted passages to make your point are fine. And please don't use all capital letters. There's no need to shout.
• Stay focused on the issue in the article. Off-topic posts will be deleted.
• This isn't a forum to chat about your personal life.
• Some ideas — the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God — aren't going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don't see your point of view. State your position once and leave it at that.
• If you mouse over each comment you will see a "Flag" button. Please use it if you feel comments on the site are out of line. Quite often, we won't see a comment until it's reported.
• Questions about why a comment was — or wasn't — deleted? E-mail us at web@bangordailynews.com and let us know your username and where you posted or saw the comment.

That's about it: Stick to writing about the stories; be civil; be kind; enlighten your neighbors. And we'll keep moderating posts to try to ensure everyone meets those standards.

  When someone tries to take you somewhere you don’t want to go in their car and won’t let you out, that’s criminal restraint. When you hit, bite, and kick them and try to get out of the car you’re following the self-defense training that is out there today for women. When the police help the person criminally restraining you, that’s organized crime. Does anyone see where I’m going with this?

  Funds for that sort of thing are drying up–even for teens, who you’d think would be the ideal people to treat, for the sake of prevention, so they wouldn’t turn out like this young woman. Time was, a teenager with a drug or alcohol problem could stay at the Adolescent Revocery Program in Waterville for three weeks. That got chipped away at by insurance until it was down to three days, then day treatment. I think perhaps it’s gone altogether, now. :(

  First of all, how was this woman even concious at .34 BAC? Sometimes I doubt the accuracy of these BAC tests–people have died from blood alcohol poisoning with less in their system. That being said, I do have a few questions about this woman’s sentencing? Since she didn’t have a license, can she get one now? People driving without a license are punished less than people who are driving legally, it seems. Also, she only served a few weeks in jail–what about the fine? This woman got off way too after causing a car crash involving multiple vehicles while under the influence (even if her actual BAC wasn’t as high as they claim–she was still obviously impaired.)  She should be prevented from getting a license for the same about of time as anyone else that has two OUIs on their record, and be fined and sentenced the same as everyone else. If this woman doesn’t serve anymore time than a few weeks, I pray she doesn’t kill anyone next time when she has an “accident.” If so, I hope the state is held responsible for releasing this woman back into society with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

• Benevolent Despot

  I don’t think the boyfriend was doing anything to put her in danger and criminal restraint…dunno but he was trying to get her help although she was totally belligerent to him. I would have let her go myself and let her get some road rash, but he didn’t.
  She assaulted officers that is a huge no no with them. If she was in that kind of frenzied state she was a danger to herself and others.

  She needs to be locked up for a while, stop drinking and stay sober, otherwise she’ll be like this for her short lifetime.

  It won’t help.  People aren’t going to reduce their consumption of alchohol based on the cost.  I personally know people who forsake everything incuding their family, their job, their home.   These people would rather drink than eat.   The State could increase the cost of liquor by 100% and it wouldn’t make any difference.   Liquor will come before everything.   When they can’t afford to buy it, they’ll make their own or they’ll steal it.   I don’t know what the answer is.  Some people have to hit “rock bottom”.  Others, well, they may never get that far.   They’ll end up in prison for vehicular manslaughter, or being a habitual offender, or dead.  At the very least they’ll suffer severe, chronic health problems.   The sad part is that most of them, even if they do care, can’t help it.

  I agree with disqusbites.  No more taxes. I am proud that many major corporations pay no taxes; if they did, they would shut down and no one would have jobs. Why would they bother to stay open if they had to pay any taxes?

  The only thing that should be taxed is a $500,000 abortion tax, and taxes on the liberal media and all colleges, since colleges are where liberals get educated.

  OK, try this on for size. Say I’m the girlfriend. I got out of jail and I have to go to AA meetings. My boyfriend shows up at my apartment to take me to an AA meeting. I get in his car and he has a change of plans for me. He can tell I’ve been drinking and wants me to go to the hospital for help with my drinking. I’m going back to jail on a probation violation if the cops find out I’ve been drinking. I tell him, “No, either take me to the AA meeting or take me home. He says he’s taking me to the hospital. Can you see where this is going? I tell him to stop the car and let me out. He says no and doesn’t pull over. I’m getting freaked out because it reminds me of the last boyfriend I had that beat me and made me feel powerless. I tell him on no uncertain terms to stop the car. I even start opening the car door showing him he’ll have to stop the car or I’ll get hurt. He yells at me, hits me, I’m not sure if I hit him first, but now I’m going to rip his face off. I’ll stop here. I’ve got two words for you: Criminal Restraint.

  I didn’t mean I might not consider it myself if I were the boyfriend. But he’s not a cop and his actions, as they were reported here, would have been felony illegal. She on the other hand is not likely to get better, very sadly. And he should save himself and kick her to the curb.

  I believe that some people should be barred from buying and consuming any alcohol. If a person is convicted of a alcohol related crime (vehicular manslaughter, causing and accident with personal injury, etc), the court should bar them from being about to purchase or consume alcohol again. 

  The same should hold true for any establishment that sells liquor, whether it be a bar, nightclub OR even a liquor store, if they purchase the liquor there, and they cause an injury whether by car, fist fight, domestic violence, then the establishment should be held responsible too. 

  Also a substantial tax on alcohol, (much like the tobacco tax), would possibly do some good as well. Many people will continue to drink but will probably be drinking less because they won’t be able to afford as much. Since the tobacco tax went into effect, many people have either quit or cut way down on smoking. 

  Alcohol can cost lives whether it be in an accident or a over long term drinking. This might be the first step in helping to save some lives.

  Obviously this woman didn’t care about the first accident so she went out and did it again, both incidents are alcohol related. The first one, she got off with just a $400.00 fine while the person with the neck injury now probably has a multi-thousand dollar medical bill. She got away cheap, I feel she should have faced some considerable jail time as part of the sentence as well as court ordered alcohol / substance detox as well. 

  The Maine judicial system is broken and needs to be fixed. Why doesn’t any lawmakers notice this and get moving on it. THEY are the ones who make and re-make the laws, it’s time to start waking them up so they can do their jobs the right way.

  I don’t agree….why should those of us that are responsible have to pay because some people have no self control? I like to have a drink once in awhile, and it is expensive enough now. Besides, a higher cost would not stop someone like that…if they did not have enough to buy their booze they’d just start stealing money/things.
