  1. Thats interesting—I drove by there yesterday while travelling on hwy 14– its a house/building next to the Marathon off of 14 and noticed 3 Cary Squad cars at that address, but that was around 6pm, not 11:30pm…

    there was a dude standing at the top of the back stairs, holding a baby, the cops were cloistered at the bottom and it appeared another person was trying to talk the baby holder to come down.

    Wow–he fired a shot, interesting I dont see the perp on the Sherriffs web site booking page for the Jail yet if he was arrested yesterday.

  2. Where are the usual fat useless idiots saying that these guys make too much money??

    The article make no reference to them keeping the public peace.

  3. Another big-government assault on our precious second amendment. How do you expect good Americans to fight against tyranny? Stay tuned…tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, hug a blogger, tic, tock, tic, tock, tic, tock, meeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww…

  4. Liquidator, maybe the idiots are confusing County Mounties w/ municipal cops.

    There’s a big difference.

    Some towns have mandatory sensitivity training for cops and advertise in gay newspapers (Cities of McHenry and Woodstock)

  5. Just in case article, if you wondering who exactly was inspired by the antics of Charlie Manson.
