typical liberals.............

no. they're not. your lack of reasoning is why the GOP is nearly non existent around here.

typical idiots who want to be their kids' friends not their parents

Any parent, who uses the excuse, "well, my kid is going to do it anyway, so i would rather have them do it in front of me, rather than behind my back", should have their children taken from them.
And do the world a favor, do not have any more children, you are not qualified to raise them.

Her political career? Never count out her running for selectman, if Greeley drops out. You are forgetting, moonbats vote. and others don't vote. This charge is nothing in the eyes of a moonbat. It will not stop her from getting elected if she chooses to run. IMHO

An absolute disgrace. I hope they both get the max and what's up with the Moe Howard hair cut?

Dam right she would get reelected, as long as you drink the kool aid in Assachusetts and are a Democrat your good to go ....look at Ted Kennedy,Barney Frank , The Chief >>E, Warren... And so on .....

Defendants released on personal recognizance? Good one...
Hey Saul>>> You gonna let Trigg get away with that? it is funny though...

Wind Dummy: I could care less.

I'm Hip...Saul

Looks like there isn't going to be another back door deal with Freddy this time..... Maybe she should spend some time at the Spaulding Rehab hospital or New England Rehab with victims of drunk drivers,,,, Again Mr and Mrs LaCourt are Menaces to the town,

She does have a Moe Howard haircut>>>Cool, Maybe she's just misunderstood?

Only Annie's husband has to wake up next to Annie. Please give them a break.

So pop toes, you are saying, that you would let your underage kids drink in your own home, with you there?
Are you also saying you would let their underage friends drink in your home also?

Yes, only with me there! And any kid who wanted to enter my home would empty their pockets to me, and phone their parents so I can talk to them, and tell them what's going on. What's your solution, just say no? Didn't work for Nancy Regan, or do you just stick your head in the sand, and pray they don't get into a car? Better yet you can sack out, and be politically correct, and bash me as a parent, but that way is how kids die. Saul, all high school students are under age. Did you drink in high school? I did, and almost everyone I knew did. So, if kids are going to drink, which scenario will keep them safer, one in which an adult can be in control, or the old " not my kid, he/she would never do that ".

Have you ever tried punishing your child? Have you ever just said "no" to your child?
Have you ever taken away their cell phone? (god forbid?) Have you ever taken away driving privelidges? Do you have any rules for your child? i doubt it. If i got a call from you, about my child entering your home to drink, i would show up with the cops. But i assure you, my children wouldn't be associated with your children. I would have a serious problem with another parent allowing my child to drink at another parents home. i do not agree with "all kids do it" Your kids may do it, but your kid would not be a friend of my kids, because my kids don't do it, and they are very well respected kids in the town they live in. there is no pressure on them to do what the other kids are doing.
You are absolutley, dead wrong, allowing your child to do it. You are as immature as the child is.
And I don't know the Nancy Regan story. Or who she is.

@Popsicle Toes,

What you propose, adults providing alcohol or the place for children to imbibe, is illegal for good reason. Hosting under aged drinking leads to more deaths and injuries, that's why it is illegal. While you might be confused about what is acceptable and what is not, the law is quite clear. Hosting laws exist to protect children. LaCourt knowingly broke this law repeatedly, she deserves the full punishment available under the law. She's lucky no child was killed because of her actions.

Trying to justify drinking in your home with children, is a poor excuse for not being able to parent your children. Try telling your children, that "you" tell them what to do, and "they" don't tell you what to do.
Saying they are going to do it anyway is pretty bad.

Listen, both of you have the law on your side, no argument there. I said I don't condone what LaCourt did, having 30 to 50 kids over is foolish. This is fact, there are several kids at hang outs all over town. This may come as a shock, but they ARE DRINKING ALCOHOL, neither one of you offer a solution to the problem. Steve your going to have to show me some stats on your point, where are you getting those figures. Saul are you going to tell me that every parent who has told a kid NO, is going to say that was that! End of problem? Kids are rebellious, they don't always listen, even good kids like mine. I don't have the time or means to be with them 24/7 so I try to teach them to be responsible in all aspects of their life. Saul, did you drink or do drugs in high school, and you didn't answer my last question, what would you have done if that drunk kid came. In your house? Put him back in his car, because you might get sued?

@Popsicle Toes,

Normally, I don't take requests, but really, you shouldn't expouse such a tenuous position. Here is but one out if dozens of studies that show, social hosting laws decrease drunk driving accidents in 18-20yo, this study suggests by 9%. Read it yourself:
http://www.angeladills.com/JHE_march2010.pdf

The study totally rebuts your argument that teens are safer drinking in an adult supervised setting.

See Popsicle, LaCourt and her apologists are not just doing something illegal, they ate doing something stupid and selfish.

Am I missing something? These laws DECREASE drunk driving, not increase? If any adult allows a kid who has been drinking to leave their residence on their own, they deserve to be prosecuted. Kids drink, and make mistakes, adults do too. I would rather have them in my sight, than up the Lama's, or the high school, or Hill's hill, then getting in a car going to the next spot. To deny that is happening widespread, is to stick your head in the sand. Kids also think they're indestructible, and no matter how much you talk to them, and teach them, they still get in that car. That's it for me, Happy Holidays to all, hope they are safe too!

Especially them

Sheltered coddled children maybe BB. They made their decisions.
Hypocrites? If it was you me or anyone else well>>>
They will have plenty of opportunity to explain.
"The people vs Lacourt & Burstein" Some have to learn the hard way.

This couple laughed at the same laws the rest of us have to abide by and are finally getting what's coming to them. I heard she called the police to get rid of all the media around her house when this story broke. Typical liberal.

I hope they are sued by the families of the kids

Frank. From what I hear, many of the kiddies parents are politically connected, to the Chatham St people. And their parents, like the charged parents, believe that they should allow underage, teenage drinking, in their house, under their supervision.
But i hope what you say, happens.

Politically connected shouldn't make the laws not apply to them.

This should be interesting

These kids rapidly consume huge quantities of alcohol at these parties because their goal is to get hammered. Anyone who thinks they can control that kind of behavior is crazy. Lesson not learned the first time.This should be very interesting.

She should go to Spalding Rehab and see some 18 year olds learning to speak and walk again.

Kelly , that wouldnt phase her one bit .... She is so self centered she would claim that the kid deserved to get hot because he voted for Romney ...

What happened to this story?
