Because the trump administration claims to support free speech unconditionally while trying to prevent people they don't agree with from exercising that right. Hypocrites like that have no business trying to silence free speech in others, just because they dislike them.

Max

Trump had nothing to do with his getting fired.

Ken Satterfield

He should have never been taken off! Overreaction to a tragic event

Max

He was removed because he was costing ABC huge financial losses.

Freedom of speech and freedom of choice and to live our options. Putin isn't in charge in US and Trump isn't in control of me!

Max

You just said communist rule is better. That's really sad.

Karla Elliott

It’s about the first amendment. It’s about democracy. And it’s about standing up to this fake king and his corrupt government

Max

The 1st Amendment only applies to the government, not your employee. Also we do not have a democracy, we have a Constitutional Republic. You are not knowledgeable of what you are commenting about.

Let the liberals/socialists/democrats have their little echo chamber late at night. We've got work in the morning.

Linda Swiney

Freedom of speech is for both sides, not just the right.

Betty ONeill

Freedom of speech

Should have never been taken off he’s entitled to free speech just like trump is

We have to protect everyone’s First Amendment rights, Especially if they are different from ours because if we don’t, we may be next on their list

Haven't watched late night talk since Carson. They are all nothing but political hacks anymore.

Scott McDaniel

I’m glad we live in a country where Jimmy Kimmel can stay on the air, however we’ll vote with our remote and NOT watch abc17 at all.

Max

ABC got caught in their own trap. They encouraged Kimmel until the affiliates and the public objected so they fired him. Then ABC's loyal fan base started threatening ABC so ABC folded to the pressure. The affiliate still won't air the shows, and now everyone is angry with ABC. It's called, Karma

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

Andrew Cozzini

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
