What did we learn? It was a bad month for bears, pit bulls and pizza guy robbers…

I know… we should not resist criminals. Our government will save us. All we need are more gun laws. The gun laws that we have now did not stop any of the above crimes, obviously we need more. We should make doing illegal things illegal, then this madness will stop.

1. I Am Not Amused
the one shot in the traffic incident works in my building and not every one is buying the "official story."

2. I did not post it for your amusement.
Edited on Tue Jun-01-10 10:46 PM by Glassunion
I was just posting these stories on their face value. If you don't like the story, complain to the journalists that wrote them.

I would be interested in the outcome of the story. We all know how much of a piss-poor job the media does at following up on articles. Perhaps you could let us know how your co-worker is doing? Also which traffic incident story was it?

7. Follow up. Again, not for your amusement.
Your coworker will still have his day in court. But it looks like he has a history of road rage.
