I wouldn’t be surprised if it was set up by the Mayor this is the kinda threat of what may come He is making isn’t it?
You have a right to bear arms in this country and I hope if the Tax increase fails that people start using that right and killing these low lifes.
try it this way five punks attacked a helpless guy for no reason than there heartless punks and have no respect for human life and the jerk that said the mayor set this up imagine if that was your brother ,son ,or family member that got ttacked by these guys its all fun and games till this crime comes your way so take into account your speaking about a human thats hurt and scared for life cause some punk thieves
Correction: Police, not polioe. I was typing without glasses. Maybe that’s what is happening with these posts from NBC 4, perhaps they are all typing without their glasses, too. I’m not perfect, I’m just Jenny Q. Public. These stories are written by professionals who should have a better grasp of grammar.
Maybe the Mayor set this up to help nudge his tax increase.What idiot thinks there would be any money laying around a Hotel anyway.
Landru: Maybe you’re wrong - Perhaps the polioe were really there and told the 5 men that the clerk could not meet all of their demands, which resulted in the attack on the hotel clerk.
“Five masked gunmen attacked a hotel clerk after police said the clerk couldn’t meet all of their demands.“
My head hurts. Try it this way: The Columbus Division of Police reported that five masked gunmen attacked a hotel clerk after he failed to meet their demands.
Or: Five masked gunmen attacked a hotel clerk after he couldn’t meet all of their demands, Columbus Division of Police said.
