My neighbor used to be a cop for a neighboring town. One day on his way home he was drinking and driving and the police in my town pulled him over. Obviously it was all hush hush and word didnt get out. He didnt get into any trouble and he “retired” from the force shortly after. Everyone in the neighborhood knew about it however and we all look at him different. Nowadays hes a security guard

yes there are times and areas where the river can be risky but this isn’t sorcery.. it happens where depth changes rapidly and especially during peak tide flow hours but every river has these natural features. I wouldn’t say that the CT river is unsafe at all if you use common sense and educate yourself on what areas and times to avoid. The CT rriver is quite small but also can very greatly (width wise) so if you want to give it a test run on a narrower spot - try Glastonbury/Portland/Chester - actually i can think of a pretty narrow spot in most towns so that was a pointless statement. Sorry. OBVIOUSLY I WOULDNT RECCOMEND DOING THIS IN WINTER & go with a buddy if possible. Have fun

Connecticut State Police murdered a teenager I went to GWCC with. Never knew him personally but his name was Mubarak Soulemane. They chased him and shot him under an overpass in West Haven. Until Officer Brian North is behind bars I do not give a damn what CT Troopers think about bad police officers. They are themselves bad police officers.

Dude, I have 300hp turbocharged jetski, and I am afraid of it. Debris, current, dead stuff... nah I literally feel safer in the sound. Yes, I can hit the top speed of like 70 because there aren't really waves, but I only did it once with a spotter in a boat ahead because you hit a log at 70mph and you're ass over tea kettle. I wouldn't swim in it.

Yeah, "they were doing drugs" is kind of an unsatisfying premise for a show which established so much intrigue in the beginning...still enjoyed it.

Never saw a show more falsely, misleadingly suspenseful, it was like a never ending blue balls situation, felt so unsatisfying and I ditched after the 3rd episode or so. Worthless entry.

It’s nice that you reference the protest we led without attending. We stopped being the victims of violence at local rallies when we announced we would be legally armed.

Yowzers. You sound super sheltered. And unnecessarily stubborn.

Connecticut doesn’t have a reputation as one of the wealthiest states because there aren’t a bunch of wealthy people here.

You’re either being intentionally obstinate. Or you’re defenselessly obtuse.
