Trapped by Boobies

Hemet, California, has traditionally been known as a quiet retirement community. Until now. For whatever reason, someone (or more likely, several someones) has decided that the police are the bad guys and that they should be dealt with. And while we might not approve of what these anonymous folks are doing, you have to admit that they are going to extraordinary measures: a gas line re-routed directly into the police station, a ballistic contraption designed to go off when the gate is opened, and explosive devices attached to police vehicles. Investigators have no idea who might be behind the recent attacks except to point out that the gang enforcement division has been targeted more than any other. Read more about it on Yahoo.

Sorry if you got excited by the title, fellas. The image is from a scene in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in which one of the hyenas reaches into Jessica's cleavage and gets his paw stuck in the trap. Nice booby trap 😉

I hope they catch whoever is behind this before someone gets killed.

i was raised to have the upmost respect for police. that said if i had been ambivelent to start then watching those brave police and firemen running INTO the wtc buildings when all others were running out would have brought me to my current position. get an unfair ticket? ask yourself how many drunks are stopped from killing people by police stops. think the police hassle you? ask yourself how many cops are shot walking up to a car to tell some drugie to slow down or that their tail light is out. and when you hear someone in your home in the middle of the night with your children sleeping in their beds remember who you call to protect and serve.
end rant
sorry but i read some of the comments after the article over there and they pissed me off. a job like that will draw some assholes but mostly they are just people who want to help and make everyone safe. i hope the assholes booby-trapping those cops blow themselves up while doing it. that would fix the problem rather efficently.

I read some of those comments too, patty, and had to stop. They were cheering the thugs on. I've never once had any trouble with the police, cause I'm boring, so I don't understand the mindset behind these attacks.

normal law abiding citzens never do. just the rest of the worthless thugs.

obviously it's because wayne in not you middle name that you were able to mend your ways sweetie. 😉

Perhaps the $200,000 reward will get them somewhere, since this has been going on for a few months now.

If your middle name is Wayne, are you more prone to criminal activities?

chuck has this whole thing about criminals with the middle name wayne. it seems that that middle name is often associated with criminal activity.
