You never can tell with all the stories that fly around a situation like that.Chalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-291595213909331562009-06-20T20:27:44.822-04:002009-06-20T20:27:44.822-04:00I'm sure you're right, but I haven't h...I'm sure you're right, but I haven't had a chance to catch up yet- when I get my news fix, (dammnit, family, you know I love you, but can't you see I'm a junkie?), I'll have more to say.Joel Monkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631333436948102576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20795009.post-31630238820339501742009-06-20T16:02:53.734-04:002009-06-20T16:02:53.734-04:00Ummm...

LA is hardly America's safest and calmest city. <br /><br />But after the Lakers won the championship this week, the cops arrested something like twenty people, who threw traschcans around and set a dumpster on fire. Someone "attempted" to turn a car over but was not successful. The press sure enjoyed calling it a riot but when you read what actually happened, it sounds like a normal night in LA. <br /><br />Statistically, I'm pretty sure 20 arrests, with the most serious charge being arson, wouldn't be a statistical blip on any major city in the world. <br /><br />I'd say what's going on in Iran should be taken a little more seriously.<br /><br />CCChalicechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781469958573869914noreply@blogger.com
