On the Friday night before Mother’s Day, Dillon Reagan was working at the Home Depot at Mall 205 when he heard a pounding on the door. “It ended up being one of our lot associates and he looked panicked and said ‘I need to know where the phone is, I need to call police,’” Reagan said. Then he raced out to the parking lot.

Life in the fast lane: Oregon Senate OKs $110 fine for slowpoke lane hogs
Going slow in the fast lane? Move over - or face a possible ticket. That's the upshot of legislation passed 19-10 by the Oregon Senate on Tuesday. “People who hog the left lane lead to road rage and frustration, tailgating and passing on the right,” said Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland. “All of these are unsafe behaviors. Several states across the nation are taking this approach to make their highways safer. It will improve traffic safety and help end an annoying behavior on the roadway.”

Why Was a 26-Year-Old Computer Whiz from Ohio the Last Man Standing at Malheur?
The final holdout at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation earlier this year wasn't a dyed-in-the-wool rancher or hardened militiaman. He was a young, half-Japanese kid from the Midwest who had no affiliation with the Bundy brothers or the Patriot movement.
