Yeah, I remember.  Too bad this ended on a much more tragic note.  What
gripes me is that if the officers were to have shackled this guy up, the
media would have been down here like a bum on a baloney sandwich,
complaining about the "harsh" treatment!

Kyle,

    I posted a similar message to this list about 2 weeks ago(on  a lighter
side), where the guy went into a place of business and held it up from a
wheelchair. He
was "cured" obce the police came after him and he left the wheelchair and
ran!
