Default Aaah my peaceful little town...

Fun and games in my town today. This occured about 2 miles from where I live:

Police sniper kills man as he comes out of Boca home firing gun


Such a peaceful little community we have here in sunny South FLA

Ai, ai, ai (sp?), no señor no Ray.

Nothing wrong with that. Dont use it at the match though. You'll be more needing something like this: El árbitro es un wanker.

And I dont know what Im typing either since Im going cross eyed with tiredness.

Same thing going down here.

http://www.postgazette.com/pg/05148/512176.stm

I had to wonder at this quote from the local paper:

Several residents in the area where the chase occurred said they heard the gunfire and got into their own vehicles and followed.

An onlooker at the scene, Valenchia Brown of Highland Park, said she and another woman heard shots and came to see what had happened.

"I have kids. And a lot of my family have gotten killed in drive-bys. It's just crazy. It's just too much violence," she said.
