Ah, but not the fencing charges, eh, Smitty?

smitty-Stop trying to take over every article for crying out loud. It's getting tiresome.

triplegoddess- I'm disappointed that smitty's story of Chief Olin's arrest by federal officers didn't make the list.

One comment on three subjects out of fourteen is not even close to taking over a thread unless you want it that way, stooopid. I'm so right on that it makes the cop roaches defensive and nervous. Again...I have no opinion on the guilt or innocence of the Neighbors. There are way too many similarities with other known LPD, FBI, city corruptions. Those similarities are the basis of my concerns.
