leroydb 0 #1 March 5, 2007 So on my way to work I see something that isnt quite right. I see a body lying in the middle of the road and a cop standing right behind it. The officer was pointing his weapon at another individual in a car while another hoodlum was standing nonchalant with his hands in his pockets like nothing was going on... More to follow when I hear about it on the news... PS... Sometimes, I swear I feel safer while I am deployed to Afghanistan...Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
