Very good question. We are far too lax in letting felony offenders plea down or shorten their sentences.

All due respect Michelle, but I understood this channel is for weather related posts. I appreciate your frustration with habitual criminals not being incarcerated. Please find an appropriate channel to voice your concerns.

The cover page says the project is "Weather, West Michigan, and whatever else." Half our show each day is not about weather. If you don't like it, there's an unsubscribe button.

This was very thorough and I appreciate all the information given regarding the attacker in Traverse City. I noticed that the news did not list any of his prior offenses.

I enjoy watching this daily. There is weather, news, and your very pleasant Dad too.

I have admired him and his expertise since I was very young. I recently met him twice at the weather classes that were held through the National Weather Service for becoming a storm spotter.

Good job carrying on!

Re: Traverse City Wal-Mart shooting.

So do I have this right? With the help of unarmed bystanders, and without killing anyone, a Black man (ok, a Marine veteran), with his own gun, stopped a murderous man with a knife who had stabbed multiple people ? Without firing a shot?

Seems to me that example conclusively shows the hypocrisy of U.S. policing including that of the ICE "tough guy" pretenders.
