Police Beat

Urbane sophisticate that we are, we prefer to ignore everything that happens in the less settled & unsophisticated zones to the south of us in L.A. County, & in Orange & San Diego Counties even farther south. It'd be nice if Mexico started around San Pedro. Two reasons why:

A man selling frozen lobster tails and steaks door to door Wednesday afternoon in Cape Coral was fatally shot by a homeowner before the gunman was ordered to the ground by an off-duty Collier County corrections deputy, according to Cape police and witnesses.

Officers arrested Kenneth Bailey Roop, 52, and charged him with second-degree murder in the death of Nicholas Rainey, 30, a meat salesman for Blue Ribbon Steak and Seafood. Cape police said the shooting occurred in front of Roop’s home at 1815 SW 30th Terrace.

Roop’s neighbors described him as “the neighborhood crazy.” Roop has a concealed weapons permit and approximately 14 firearms.

USA! USA! USA!

Great Punk Moments Editor:
Stukas over Disneyland Ah, the Dickies. We hocked a lugie right onto Leonard Graves Phillips' left lapel at the Whiskey in 1978. Uh, he was on stage at the time, so it's OK.

In the real world, there's no place in these United Snakes nuttier than Florida, no matter how much Calif. & Texas try. On the other hand, NO SOLICITING!!!
