Rule #1: Don't let crazy people drive your car


More will be revealed about this story, but currently it makes very little sense.

William McDonough, who lives on a farm near where the CROMA (Colorado Rockies Old-time Music Association) festival is held every year, kidnapped a liquor store employee in Berthoud under the guise of needing a ride because his car was out of gas.

Mr. McDonough's home, according to voting records, is over10 miles from Berthoud.  Why you agree to give someone a ride when a gas station is 100 feet away from the liquor store where you work is beyond me, but why you then allow them to drive your car because "they know where they are going" is doubly inexplicable.

So somehow kidnapper and victim end up in a Sheraton in downtown Denver (two blocks from the Denver city/county building), where he disrupts an ongoing sorority function being held in the hotel ballroom.

Why, if you really have kidnapped someone, would you draw attention to yourself by disrupting a random event being held in the same hotel?  Why, if you are a crazed kidnapper, do you even bother taking your victim to a $200 a night room in downtown Denver in the first place?  Were all the rooms in Longmont already taken?  Was nothing available in Broomfield or Thornton?

Why, during the time Mr. McDonough was disrupting the event in the ballroom, didn't the kidnapped female liquor store employee leave the room and ask the front desk for protection/help/a phone to call 911?  We know this didn't occur, because Mr. McDonough initially was booked on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.  That was a result of police responding to the disturbance complaints, not a kidnapping complaint.

Why is Colorado filled with idiots on both sides of the booking window?

Getting Hostiles

According to the IMDb website, some portion of the movie Hostiles was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Does this look like Pagosa Springs? The movie is gorgeously shot, and the locations are breathtaking.  Being somewhat familiar with Pagosa Springs, though, I'm having trouble matching any of the exteriors with anything within a 10-mile radius of Pagosa Springs. According to IMDb The railway station at Chama, New Mexico served as the stand-in for Butte, Montana.  Chama is about 50 miles away from Pagosa Springs, and Pagosa Springs definitely sent some of its own down to Chama to serve as extras, one of whom is currently pedaling coal from the Chama location on Ebay. A big-budget movie filming in a community of 2000 is generally a newsworthy event.  Filming of Hostiles took place in the summer of 2016, and Pagosa Springs' newspaper of record, the Sun , made no mention of stars Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike, Wes Studi, or director Scott Cooper hanging out at P

The Estes Park Economic Development Corporation (EPEDC) is patting itself on the back because "the award for 'Small Community of  the Year' was presented" to them by the Economic Development Council of Colorado (EDCC) "on behalf of a town that sets its sights on building a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community and economy after recovering from the devastating Colorado floods in 2013." How has the following economic development been beneficial to Estes Park? The Estes Park Event Center, completed in spring 2014, has not brought all the big events expected from outside of our community.  It is not profitable. The Estes Park Medical Center (i.e., Park Hospital District) did not have the money to build the EPMC/Anschutz Wellness Training Center within the two years specific in the "Contract for Sale of Lot 4" to John Cullen, owner of the Stanley Hotel (i.e., Grand Heritage Hotel Group, LLC).  Since the money was not raised, according

Okay so I'll say it

Jeez we have a bunch of milquetoast pretend journalists in town. The guy who was arrested locally a few clicks back, Keaton M.A. Krell, is the same guy who sexually assaulted a bunch of underage females in Linn County, Kansas, and, brazenly, got away with it. The airtight connection is through his wife or ex-wife or whoever star pupil and non-profit wunderkind Candace Krell is. But even then, c'mon, how many folks named Keaton M.A. Krell are running around diddling little girls? Get some cojones, POR (paper of record) and POR (podcast of record). You did the work (sort of) now publish the findings. Stop hiding behind the town as an excuse to avoid going to press - the PIO and TA aren't going to give you anything because they are scared of their own shadows. For the low IQ crowd and too easily unconvinced: Note how Candace Krell used to give her home address on LinkedIn as Estes Park, Colorado Here's another big whoopsie And this And this And this
