A couple very good reasons to carry if you can, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Today totaled zero morts, but two feeling the pain and one in the wind, but without a little girl. This one will try again.

“After walking for a block and a half, the pedestrian became angry”
I do not think “Good Samaritan” means what they think it means.
Sounds like the guy was trying to fake like he was a victim of a hit and run. When he realized people were calling police and medical assistance rather than throwing money at him, he decided to leave.
The rest is in the story.
Maybe NSL Hospital will give the B&E perp a nice staph infection.
FL dude coulda just been taking a nap in the road. They do that, you know.
Good guy with a gun chases away pervert with bad intents. Shoulda shot the bastard.
I know the innerwebz is supposed to be forever, but can some one PLEASE delete/wash away AW1Ed’s pic of that gawd awful fugly PA State Trooper. Way yonder too early in the morning to be subjected to that.
I guess androgynous Pat from Saturday Night Live found a career in law enforcement. As Peter Gabriel sang: if looks could kill, they probably will. Wiping up milk and Cheerios from the kitchen table now.
“milk and Cheerios”
A morning favorite with frozen wild blueberries and maple syrup. The milk freezes around the berries in clumps.
I’ll pull it if it fails the “IDC SARC Test.”
That doesn’t look like th PA uniform. They wear grey and black. No flashy blue and gold items.
Connecticut State Police patch, I believe.
Leave drunks alone.
Pedos, on the other hand – shoot them, and have done with it.
“The witness then pointed a handgun at the suspect and told him to leave.”
Does not sound very “witness like”.
