As I drove past the Credit Union on my way home yesterday, I was reminded of an incident that took place there recently, and I just had to shake my head....
About a month ago, and 18 year old kid tried to rob it - in broad daylight, right after school - one of the busiest times of the day on that street. He wore no disguise (they said on the news that the pictures that the security cameras got of him were the clearest photos on record)....and he was from here!
Why oh why, please tell me, would you rob a bank in the town you were from? Especially in a town this small where everybody knows everybody! As I remember, he was in a stolen truck, but on his way out several people saw him who knew who he was...and where he lived, his uncle jack with the 3 legged dog, (ok - I embellished on that last part, but I'm just trying to make a point) The kid didn't make it to the next town.
Then, a few months before that, the truck stop where my son works was robbed - by a couple of high school kids - from here - at 4 in the afternoon - when the place was swarming with truckers - with a BB gun!!!
There were truckers in line behind him waiting to pay when he pulled out his "weapon" and demanded money. The trucker in line behind him said "not today sonny" and threw his hot coffee in his face, while two other truckers wrestled him to the ground and held him there until the police came. His girlfreind who was waiting in the car saw what happened, and peeled out and tried to get away, but two police cars blocked her off before she even got out of the parking lot!
Kids - stay in school - PLEASE!!!!

Oh. My gosh. How stupid could people BE? I totally agree about the stay-in-school thing. If this is how kids behave when they get out, they oughta be locked in there! (Well, not really. But it's tempting!)
Well good grief Charlie Brown.........what are they teaching these kids in school???
