I was driving home today on the way back from a morning at the park and our daily trip to the supermarket for suppertime fixings when I noticed a police car parked at the entrance to a nearby trailer park. I thought it seemed strange, since his lights were on and he wasn't sitting there to tag people for speeding. As I approached our development, I noticed a line of cars waiting to get in, as well as another line of cars leaving. When it was our turn to enter, I saw a sea of police cars and realized that no one was being allowed into the development, even to go home. The cop I spoke with advised that the area was being locked down because they were looking for someone. Judging by all of the police vehicles, both marked and unmarked, the person they were looking for was armed and considered dangerous, so I was semi happy to leave them to do their jobs, although I silently lamented the frozen yogurt melting in my trunk. A trip to McDonald's (we'd been heading home to eat lunch when this incident ocurred) and one hour later, we returned home to find yet another line of vehicles waiting to get into the development. I shut the car off, turning it on periodically to use the air conditioner, and decided to wait it out, since I had noplace left to go and was aggravated enough at that point to go in there and catch the guy myself. Never underestimate the damaging capacity of a locked down fold up stroller!!! They can be deadly, I swear! Apparently, they'd either caught the guy or given up, because they finally let us back in. I think I heard one of the officers say that they'd gotten him-we can only hope there isn't some crazed maniac still running around the streets of South Florida. What am I saying??? Of course there are many maniacs running around the streets of South Florida!!! After a shooting incident at a North Miami Burger King recently I didn't even feel safe taking my daughter to lunch at Micky D's today. It's insanity. Makes me want to move to the woods of Maine and buy me a shotgun. It would just be so boring, though....

This is weird. I could swear I'd heard this story before and yet...hmmm. Anyway, yes, crazy people everywhere. Arm yourself.
Take a gun safety course first though. Eh, there's more but I think I'll email you.
