 Confused:
Hey DA Ballard,

Our question is in regards to our jail system. Would you be in favor and support the Fayette Sheriff if he were to implement the techniques used by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona? We feel that jails are to pleasant and criminals don't have the proper respect for it. Jails and prosecuting need to be tougher.

Thanks for your time,
The Glass's

 I live at the corner of Windgate and Robinson Road. I have a large sign sitting at that corner for your re-election campaign. I admit I have been a little in the dark about your positions. I have been approached by my neighbors indicating that you are "Soft" on criminals. With this being said, I would like to put this into the context of recent events.

There was a murder in PTC within the last week. It appears that a group of people, 2 different races arguing outside a nite club. Words were exchanged, someone "Sucker Punched" another individual causing their death. All members of the attackers group fled the scene.

Are you going to pursue this fully? If the races were reversed, could this be considered a hate crime? Would all members of the attackers group be culpable to some extent?

Without providing specifics, assure us that these individual(s) will be prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law and not persecuted just based on their ethnicity. If the races were reversed, would you apply the same aggressive approach? To "Sucker Punch" someone is to "Intentionally cause maximum harm without the innate human avoidance response". While guilt by association is not a crime, individuals who pursued, antagonized and encouraged are culpable.

Assure us that PTC and all of Fayette County will be considered the “Worst” place to commit a crime “Period”. If we cannot change the way people act, we should at least be able to make them think twice on where to act.

 Mr. Ballard,

As a concerned young person living in Fayette county, I, along with many other young people, are receptive to your campaign message and look forward to voting for you in July. However, I've discovered that many people around my age group do not plan on voting simply because they don't know how or where to register and when and where to cast their vote. Including this information would greatly enhance your site. Thank you for your dedication and unwillingness to bend to pressure.

 Your web address is "Guarding What's Ours"

It seems like a curious phrase. What does it mean and why did you select this phrase to represent your site?

Thanks!

 Your site expresses very clearly your dedication to prosecuting indiviudals for crimes against others. Are you just as dedicated when the crime is committed by a law enforcement officer against a citizen, and, if so, what is the process for bringing such an instance to light?

Thank you for your time.

 More and more children are brining weapons to our local schools. What do you plan to do about this?

 As a parent I am very concerned about the gang-related stories that have been in the local papers lately. How does the DA's office plan to keep our schools and kids safe? Fayette is changing in some ways for the worse, what can we do to maintain the standard of living we've worked hard to obtain?
