Some guy tried to flag me down on Fri. near the Wendy's across the street from SU. I'll be damned if I was going to stop. My bad @$$ side wanted to jump out and kick him in the head just for trying me.

The Cannon"s are a murderous, crimnal legacy that goes way back.

They should crack the next one born in the head with a hammer and do Delaware a great service.

One shot and killed a pregnant store clerk back in the 80's just before Christmas. No remorse.

Lost....yeah right. Stop looking for pot in the Coverdale area and you won't get robbed by a dealer. They are highly protective in that area and know an outsider when they see one. If you dont live in that area you need to just stay away or at least drive thru really fast.
