What is Digg?71 Comments
- NullzipZero, on 10/10/2007, -4/+62I guess the police were too busy trying to build a murder case against the husband.
- muki, on 10/10/2007, -3/+38Well, at least they didn't Taser her after they cut her out.
- Enochyang, on 10/10/2007, -26/+54“All I know is that she's here and she's alive, and that, in itself, is a miracle,” he told CNN. “She's alive after eight days. If God was going to take her, he would have taken her before that.”
So God allowed this woman to crash her car into a ravine, then stranded her for EIGHT days while she starved and bled, and now she might have to amputate an entire ***** leg. Quite a miracle indeed. - spawnfree, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21that implies they were doing something
- Torx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Its a shame he had to "fight" in order to gain a search party. All the while, the whole world is still online shuffling through the latest satellite surveillance photos for Fossett.
- j3utton, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12even if he had... its unlikely he would have seen anything... the only thing to indicate an accident was matted bushes, that would have been very easy to miss or overlook... im sure thousands of people travelled that route for those 8 days and no one saw anything suspicious. The only reason they found her when they did is because they tracked her cellphone... honestly I can't believe her cellphone was still on after 8 days... mine dies after two.
- Enochyang, on 10/10/2007, -18/+30Proof that God is evil according to the Bible:
- Satan is evil.
- God is ALL knowing. Therefore, he must have known that his angel Lucifer would have fallen and become Satan. Hell, you might even say he planned it to happen.
- God is ALL powerful. With a snap of a finger, God can easily wipe out Satan and sin from this world forever. Yet He does not. Therefore, God must permit Satan to go on with his evil shenanigans.
- If God permits or even ALLOWS Satan to exist, then it's fair to say that, to a certain extent, God is Satan's boss. Yes... his ***** BOSS.
- Satan is Evil.. so what does that make his boss? - crapmatic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11The police are going to give me a checkup?
- mbougie, on 10/10/2007, -6/+16I usually don't comment on stories, but this is starting to make me sick. The story that was submitted had the word "God" in it, so automatically people must start pointing out the "faulty" logic of it? A man just found his wife alive after thinking that she was dead, he felt thankful, and thanked a deity he believed in. He didn't preach to you, he didn't try to pass a law telling you that you have to worship the Christian god, he simply thanked God.
If you ever find a person you care about after a week-long search, you can thank whoever you want. Or you can thank nobody. That's your choice, give this man the right to think the way he wants to in peace. - sleepykit, on 10/10/2007, -11/+20What do you expect? Most people give praise to a deity but don't lay any blame on its shoulders. It would be far too complicated to explain a god that is both good and evil, eh?
- BinaryFragger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10I remember the days when Digg was about technology news and interesting operating system debates.
Now it's mostly religion articles (where posting "Christians suck" guarantees your comment to be dugg up into the stratosphere) and random Flickr photos (which most of them are no longer available by the time they reach the front page).
I miss the old Digg. - djSyndrome, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11I'm generally against lawsuits of any kind, but if anyone deserves to get hauled into court, it's this police department.
- fakkedap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Even if NullzipZero was joking, it's all in the article:
"'I basically hounded them until they started a case and then, of course, I was the first focal point, so I tried to get myself out of the way as quickly as possible. I let them search the house. I told them they didn't have to have a warrant for anything, just ask,' he said.
Thursday morning, they asked Tom Rider to sign for a search of phone records. The also asked him to take a polygraph test."
They call it "red tape" in the article. I call it "guilty until proven innocent." - pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5yeah, that would be even better. husband: my wife is missing. officer: you have any money?
- Trocisp, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Don't you mean the special olympics?
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10Silly, it was the DEVIL that made her drive into the ravine and stranded her for eight days. It was God who saved her. Sheesh.
(If you couldn't tell, /SARCASM.) - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Yeah, and all that can be just as easily explained by saying that's all part of God's plan to give humans free will. To let us face temptation and choose our destiny.
I'm not telling you this because I believe it, just that you haven't really done anything spectacular with that proof. - schnibitz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It was the idiocy of the police department that we REALLY need to be talking about, not debating debating whether he should be thankful to God. Seriously, for three days, where was the police? So much for protecting and serving.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Wait, Maple Valley is real place? I thought it was just a track in Forza Motorsport!!!
- doktorrocket, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6It's a terrible situation, but I'm not sure I want to increase the ease with which an adult can use the police to track down another adult.
- rarson, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6And cops wonder why everyone hates them.
- mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4comprehension 101
- duality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Thank you for providing Digg's compulsory anti-religion perspective on this article. Now, would you care to comment on something that is, maybe......... a little closer to what the article was actually about?
- Lilitou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I read an article in my local paper that mentioned him checking her route home and not seeing anything. Like j3utton said, no one else on the route noticed anything for 8 days, so it seems it wasn't clear there'd been an accident.
- bradcrc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"“Not showing up at home is not illegal,” he said."
meaning they had figured this woman: http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2007/US/09/28/missing.adult ...
was just a bit too good looking for that guy, and odds are she'd left him. - ZippyV, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6What does red tape have to do with this story?
- pintomp3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4more lazy cop than red tape.
- rolosworld, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6this is not philosophy...
- mc77, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7Did he care enough about his wife to search the route she would have traveled home? I hope he took at least that much action before leaving things to god and government. It was ultimately government who pulled his wife from the SUV, but he thanks god?
- acdcfanbill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Because the minute any female disappears for any reason, the automatic response from law enforcement is that her husband/boyfriend murdered her.
- jftitan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Red Tape would be the consideration of the "Procedures" the Police department has to do BEFORE telling someone to get a car and go out and look. Personally I'm Very happy that this Man has been reunited with his Wife. But I find this appalling that one department reviews footage of the wife leaving work, then goes off to say, "Oh its not in our jurisdiction". Passing the Buck?
Then the next department focuses on the Husband instead of at least getting a person or two to check the roads. One commenter above stated, he hoped the man would have at least drove the route he knew his wife would use to drive home. I'm pretty sure he did. and I'm also sure, he would have missed/not noticed the same matted bushes that his wife apparently had lost control.
All I can say is this. We have Police attitude of "Your a criminal, until we find out otherwise" mentality. And I call that a load of ***** *****. - SouthsideIrish, on 10/10/2007, -6/+9The police are not here to serve and protect you. They are here to put you in jail, take your property so they can hire more police, to put more of you in jail. Real Sicko's.
- dpsleep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2yea, i live in maple valley. and the police here are horrible. it was funny, the whole day, nothing but unmarked police cars zooming around. and they had the damn road closed forever. i don't see why they cant move everyone on to two lanes of the four lane road. but yea don't expect much attention from the cops here unless you are a drug dealer, or your going 5 mph over the limit.
- Raytown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2One thing worth mentioning is even though it's obvious that the local PD had their thumbs up their asses,the Husband also didn't report her missing for 4 DAYS!!! So I think it was partially his fault it took so long.
- dime, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Apparently you aren't even reading the posts here.
I'm not a religious person, though. I thank you for your concern, and appreciate your involvement in the digg hive-mind of binary groupthink. - mayorjimmy, on 10/10/2007, -9/+11And yet it's this same kind of organization and red tape that people want running our health care. If this guy can't trust the government to find his missing wife, you really wanna trust them to keep you healthy?
- mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Blocked for being an idiot.
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2it would be better than nothing., which at least 20% of US citizens have, and a good bit of those of us that do have it are afraid of losing.
- cankillar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Come on now. This happened within 40 miles of where I live, let me give you a better picture of this incident than this article, which seems to be blaming everything on the police.
Yeah, it took them three days to get a cell phone trace warrant. That's HOW IT SHOULD BE. Local news interviewed the Factoria police department and they get 600-700 calls a year, of which only 1%(which is freaking SIX OR SEVEN PEOPLE) are actually missing. If I'm not really missing but people think I am, I don't want to traced. Furthermore, if it's too easy to track my location without proper procedure, then random people could just find me.
It's unfortunate it took 3 days to find her. Detectives the husband hired drove down that road about a dozens times looking for her (it's her road to work), I guess they should've looked harder.
And I have nothing but respect for the police in my area. I've never heard of them having any problems with race/religion or brutality. - dime, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5It's funny. For a group espousing the ideals of reason and logic, atheists sure are proving themselves to be quite the bigots.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You forgot Bush Bashing. That's become a major element here.
- Ceeman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Never relay on the Government to help you. It is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Law enforcements hands are often tied by constraints put on them. Those constraints come from us, through our representatives in goverment.
- Klowner, on 10/10/2007, -5/+6Yes, as long as the faith is Christianity.
- jftitan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Dig also has these filters.... And I agree with you. Back when I only allowed technology based articles make it to my homepage on Digg, there wasn't enough content to keep me happy. However, now I just let EVERYTHING come through... now I have enough crap to filter through.

Um, could you repeat that, officer? I'll be NOT moving to Washington this year I think... -
