    OK, so what's your point? If the cops did nothing after the complaint and the man snatched a kid, the township would get sued into the next decade. And the newspaper's and TV would have been on the story like white on rice. Was it an overeaction, yeah in hindsite, by the cops and the hysterical woman who started it all. I see the blog writer is too chicken sheetz to reveal the town name, probably because she doesn't want to "get involved" other than sending e-mails. So again I ask, what was the point and Sir William, how would you have handled this?

    The last time I ran into someone wearing camouflage in the suburbs was when she walked into the Springfield Mall and shot about a dozen people.

    Sylvia Seagrist. Dude, she was whacked. She was a regular at my ex's health club. Always in fatigues. They were scared of her.

    The busy body "mother" who first approached him is most at fault. Apparently, this is no longer a free country. A man cannot mind his own business on a public street unless she thinks it is alright. He had a right to turn away from the cranky wench. Perhaps she should have just said hello instead of asking "can I help you"? Help him do what? Breathe?

    Better be safe then sorry. In some places they are hundreds of people present but nobody ever sees a thing.

    Dammit, I invested 90 seconds of my life on that story, and nobody got shot by a survivalist. I want that time back. You suck.

    The Rightwing Radicals always complain about the FREEDOM & LIBERTY but the make the mother who stands up for liberty and freedom as a crazy liberal. Are all you characters like Ricky Sanitorium and think personal freedoms and liberty are selfish and bad for our society and only business needs their privacy?

    If something happened, and there was no alert, guess who would be the first in line saying "Why didn't the police do more?!" You guessed it, the sleazy lawyer.

    LOL, Will, how can you afford to move into Wallingford? Book sales? BTW camo is like Tea Party fashion these days, and de riguerre out here in the mountains where we hunt critters for food. I just might bring some of my wife's cousins next time I visit the burbs, and do some sightseeing.
