I would like to submit a petition to the state legislature, if I can find a sponsor, to rename Frankfort to Dodge City.
There have been more murders and shootings in Frankfort this summer than in my entire life.
Rumors of gangs moving into Frankfort have the citizens scared to death. Supposedly they are battling over turf.
The police and sheriff’s office are not communicating with the citizenry at all or very little. This isn’t something that should be swept under the rug. We need to know whats going on to protect ourselves. Surely some trends are developing with all the shootings that can be shared with the public.
I guess its near time to strap on a side arm to protect ourselves

From the Oldham Co. story:
“The family says they’ve been living in that house for nine years and have never had any problem to this extent.”
I wonder to what extent they’ve had other problems. :(

Sorry, Jake, the right to triple bacon cheeseburgers and 60 ounce Blizzards is an inalienable American right, and I’m pretty sure that it’s protected by the 14th amendment since that sucker seems to cover everything else nowadays. I do hear that Michael Bloomberg has proposed that fat people be sentenced to 36 months labor in human hamster wheels to produce clean energy. As for fat smokers, well, God help them if Bloomberg gets his way. There will be bounties on them like varmints and coyotes in sheep country.

All hail, Darwin.
Heard Joe Rogan’s bit about the skinny people out-effing the fatties, so the fatties will just eventually die off, and I have to agree.
Leave ‘em alone. It’s already way uncool to be fat.
No law can better that kind of motivation.
What’s Bloomberg propose to do with morbidly fatheaded pols?
