In a similar vein, I just got back from a Christmas visit to Tampa, my hometown. I was surprised and disappointed to see the Tampa Bay Mall closed....and then doubly dismayed to hear why. Since I wasn't there for the action, can somebody from Tampa fill me in?
Why, indeed?! The suspense is killing me!
I wish I could give you details, stboz. Try the Tampa Tribune archives.
We're in Lakeland, but we get the Tribune and the Ledger, and as I recall, there were three terrible abductions there, and people simply left!
There are many safer places to shop in Tampa, and the shoppers are armed-against-the bad guys now.
All the leftist-whining about gun-control didn't mean shit! The good-guys (read honest citizens) are packing heat now! The bad guys (read perps) are nervous!
The so-called 'Criminal-Justice-System' doesn't keep the criminals in jail, where they belong, so now, it's up to the citizenry!
Works for me! Twice so far in my life, but I'm from Detroit, so it probably doesn't count! Stay well, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!......FRegards
