Quote--"The good ,the bad ,and the ugly. Can anyone tell me what is justice? Tonight I got a email from a friend about meeker county.I called a friend at the court house to confirm the story. Guess what it was true. I dont know where to start ,and most of all how to finish. Friends we are headed for a perfect storm. We the people cant let our politicans and hired police get away with nothing less than turning a blind eye. Monday I will shock the county and police .I will name names dates times and facts about our officals(THUGS)."---Friendofsociety--You promised a big story....What happened to our Shock and Awe???????

Bshoutz, thanks for the post. I was out at the scene, as well, and took the photo you see on the site now. It was a rare event, indeed. We received a call late Wednesday about the bear being in a tree near Forest City, and I decided to go out to take a look. On my way, though, I had to stop to pick up my children from daycare. I was sure the bear, if it really existed at all, would be gone by the time we got there. But it wasn't. It was fun to take some photos, and my kids thought it was pretty exciting too. Again, thanks for the post.

Thanks for the help. The story about the 1987 after-prom party ran in the April 24 Independent Review if you'd like to check it out.

I was thinking the same thing....or is this going to be another one of those "I would tell you, but people are in danger" stories?? Quit yanking our chains please....

friendofsociety, Monday has came and gone, when will we get our shock? Still patiently waiting......

AMB, what is your problem?

LoriM — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 08:08:13 -0500

AMB, what is your problem? Are you a friend of Mike Hirman's? Are you a corrupt county official? Are you a corrupt cop? Get off your high horse and quit reading the posts if they bother you so much. Perhaps you should start crying your own river as you may need to get on a boat once the investigation moves forward!! None of this is funny, I do believe that once things are settled around here, there may be several lawsuits filed against Meeker County. Lives have been destroyed and you act like you just want to get your own little punch in while you can! I certainly hope that you are heading downstream soon, your snotty attitude stinks!

Could be part of it, but I GUARANTEE you that there is more to this investigation than this lawsuit.

If you or anyone else wonder how I know that, please go back and read my earlier posts.

This very well may be a very small part of the investigation. You will all be shocked when it all comes out!!

Until then..... stay safe!!!

Does anyone consider that

randay91 — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:06:44 -0500

Does anyone consider that quite possibly this investigation had something to do with the charges of the violation of the ladies constitutional rights that we have read about recently in the paper? I can see this as being the cause of a FBI investigation myself, essentially because of the nature of the lawsuit being taken through the court system is being brought to.

Friendofsociety, how can you

LoriM — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:06:14 -0500

Friendofsociety, how can you say that you know for a fact that no one in Meeker County will ever go down? I don't see that as a fact but as an assumption. I doubt you are with the FBI. I do not mean to sound sarcastic but I for one do not believe that statement for one minute!

It is obvious that the FBI came to Meeker County for a reason, I know that they were given more than enough evidence to convict our Sheriff. Do you not watch the news? They are starting to take out corrupt law enforcement officers all over this state. Mike Hirman may have thought he was getting away with his corruption, but I am still patiently waiting for the federal office in DC to get the documents in order, signed and returned!!!

You may have friends at the courthouse that can give you some pretty good information but they won't know the outcome of the FBI investigation any sooner than anyone else!!

Very sorry to hear that someone else got a taste of the corruption of the county!

Threats against county lead

Threats against county lead to arrest
March 21, 2008 - 8:29am — Kristin Holtz
Filed under: Sheriff

A 69-year-old Dassel man was arrested Thursday after making terroristic threats against the Meeker County Treasurer's Office.

Shortly after noon Thursday, employees from the Treasurer's Office reported that an individual had allegedly made terrorist threats by telephone in regards to his property tax statement. After investigating the call, the Meeker County Sheriff's Department arrested the Dassel man, who is being held in Meeker County Jail pending a court appearance

What does this say meeker county employees are more important than tax payers. Tell me Mike did the 69 year old say he had a big gun in his pants after using viagra? Hey Mike I would dispatch all cops to bars around closing time. You could make a killing in threats at that time.County could make lots of money.I cant believe this lady at the riverside store had a threat against her,and meeker county law scratched there a$$.BS I also understand she had a young gentleman with her.Who was convicted of threats.Looking into this.

It wasn't Litch police, it

bshoutz — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:20:28 -0500

It wasn't Litch police, it was a Meeker deputy who came out and investigated! We are in Forest City, so it is County.. Either way, the Woman who owns it now should of purchased a tin of vasoline when she rented to those freaks.. Damage beyond imagination, threats at court, documents, and NOTHING...
Does this say something else about the situation??? Where is the vindication for the innocent???
