    Funny…I didn’t see an article about a boy hit by a car. I did see an article about a “child” on a bicycle hit by a car. The “youngster” had a bruised leg.

    Someone stole a gun from under the seat of an unlocked vehicle? The second amendment does come with certain responsibilities on the part of gun owners to secure them as best they can.

    I heard that on Thursday morning, around 4:00 to 4:30 AM, there was an attempted abduction at the Anytime Fitness on Harrison Ave. and that the victim had to lock herself in the store to keep from being attacked. She hit the attacked when he grabbed her from behind while getting into her car…the guy was reportedly caught by the police and had a warrant. Anyone see anything about that?
