Plans to take care of it immediately is a must.... or the anarchy controlled by warring factions will be next?

However, we also need to be aware that other people commit crimes also. There were many signs that Melissa was troubled and needed help. There were many signs that the Virginia Tech murderer was mentally ill. There were many signs that this kid from Arizona was unstable. We need to watch out for danger signs and do something about it. We need to be aware of our surrounding and those around us.
I hear ya' and I understand. BUT as I commented on another crime, Can folks stop using the Huckaby reference?
Especially because that has nothing to do with an armed robbery.
I am glad I missed the comment Shelly was responding to. The TP has been staying on top of that as they can.
Those aren't 2 words. That's a name. A name I wish folks would stop saying.
Every time somebody brings up that nut chic. Get in the present.
does that carry different charges if a weapon wasn't actually seen during a robbery?
arm up people and better check your door locks.
this crime occured at 5:46 pm before many get home from work. how would you like to come home and find two pos hoodlums holed up in your house or yard cowering from the long arm of the law.
