Race to the bottom
Another raid on the wrong residence;
another dead dog. This time, Iraq War veteran Adam
Arroyo says he came home on Monday to find his door busted
down, and his beloved pup dead from bullet wounds. The
Buffalo, NY police did not seem too concerned with cleaning
up blood or anything like that, but nonetheless left behind
a note of sorts: a search warrant for the apartment next
door.
On the other hand…
A 59-year-old
duffer was arrested after he broke a Callaway 5-iron
over the arm of a 65-year-old guy in
his foursome. He
then allegedly stabbed the victim with the sawed-off
club.

capitalism. If you want to find out what free enterprise is
really about talk to a street vendor and not a Fortune 500
