What are B/M’s ?
Shorthand for Black/Male
A Ping sand wedge could have left an “impression” on the robber (and his skull). Would that count as a stroke?
In the recent post on pjstar.com about this incident, can you tell me why the PJ Star lists the names and addresses of the victims? That irritates me.
Jenny is correct; but compliment the department for the quick capture of these two hoodlums; but also note that the gun ws not fired at the victims, but went off as the two were going over the fence (that correction is noted today). Never, never give the victims names and addresses out, the P.D. has some public relations problems, should be a reprimand.
PPD seems to be having some problems w/ how to handle witnesses an/ or victims identites.
