Our lawmakers have to address the crime on the street.
scary area
Ummmm….HUNTERS, maybe? The mountains in that area is a well-known hunting spot.
Par for the course out there so why close the streets?
Thank Heaven he wasn’t at the merge!
The police closed the road because “maybe” someone had a gun? Why do they keep doing that? If there’s a minor fender bender, they even close the road for hours. I don’t get it. If they did that on the mainland, the police chief and mayor would be out of a job.
Uh, they closed the road to protect people like you and me and everyone else from potential harm. Roads are not closed for “a minor fender bender.” The necessity to perform a thorough investigation in cases involving fatalities and critical injuries is in part dictated by the extremely high stakes that can derive from both criminal and civil actions following these events. These policies are exactly in line with mainland jurisdictions of similar size.
Click it or ticket. Fight crime. To protect, to serve.
hope the dude gets the help he needs.
