Daily Times Buries Story



By now I'm sure many of you have heard, a 20 year old man was found yesterday morning sleeping on the floor in the bathroom at the Salisbury Zoo. Did the Daily Times investigate it any further? NOPE! Why, because there's a whole lot more to the story than Barrie Tilghman and the rest of her SCREW UPS at the Zoo want to admit, hence the story being buried in the back of the paper.

You see Ladies & Gentlemen, this 20 year old man was LOCKED in the bathroom overnight! They lock those doors each and every night and the Zookeepers are required to do a physical search each and every day to make sure no one is inside. Obviously this was not done.

So to make it sound as if there was a criminal inside with an alleged small amount of marijuana in his possession, the DT wrote a half assed article making it sounds as if someone was guilty before proven innocent once again. Small means small people and alleged means alleged. I can assure you of one thing, this guy didn't PLAN on spending the night in the Salisbury Zoo. They also claim they found him sleeping on the floor when they arrived. I'm CONFIDENT that when a Zookeeper walked into that bathroom and saw him there, this guy wasn't oversleeping because he had partied all night in there, passed out. Dee, Dee, Deeee! The guy was LOCKED in a freakin bathroom for 14+ hours.

Now, that begs the question, WHERE THE HELL WAS THE SECURITY COMPANY THE ZOO HIRES? Let's say the guy had diariah and was somewhat embarrassed to say he was in there, knowing he wasn't coming out any time soon. First of all, did he hide so well the Zookeeper couldn't see him at all when he or she locked up? After all, they are supposed to and required to do a physical search. Just where did this man hide that the person allegedly doing their job couldn't find him in a bathroom?

They locked this guy inside and that's all there is to it. The Times makes it sound as if this guy had partied all night and was so toasted, he was passed out and it took the Police to wake him. Nah, I doubt that very seriously. I'll bet he had a very long night hoping someone would come by and get him the hell out. I'm sure he had the lights on in there as well. That being said, again, where was the Security Company that's paid to check the grounds and buildings each and every night?

The company I speak of has ALWAYS done a PISS POOR JOB securing the Zoo, yet Rapp/Alessi requested they hire the company again, even after the Llama situation. They have a track record of sucking at what they do, (the photo of the company posted here is NOT the company that currently secures the Zoo) hence the raped Llama and dead Llama. Believe me, I could tell you stories about what people have done breaking into that Zoo at night that would knock your soc off! It ALL gets covered up because this Mayor and others do not want the Public to know just how easy it is to access that Zoo and how few safeguards there are against anyone doing so.

The title of the Daily Times article should have had better coverage, (first of all). Secondly, it should have said something like, man gets locked in Zoo Bathroom for some 14 hours straight! NO SHIT!

I would like to know what kind of pot he is smoking on that rendered him "unsconscious" as the police report described.LOL

Totmom, I think you are thinking along the same lines I am. They are so full of s**t they stink.

Few crumbs of pot so they're going to send the crumbs off to the lab costing a fortune to analyze just to save face for another city screw up? Can't any of these people just say "oops, my bad" or in plain english "we made a mistake". Geez

faced with spending the night in the Salisbury Zoo's toilet; I think the Pope might have sparked a doob at that point!

HA,
I actually know Mr. Shockley personally and I never knew about this story. This is kind of shocking.
He will never learn...
