The men said police can't always get there in time, and they want to be able to protect themselves...
...The men gathering at the firing range Saturday said they fear there could be copycats out there.
"This is my first time," Ashish Dhume said as he looked over a target sheet with several hits in the middle of the outline. "Some of our friends actually got robbed. We don't want to be victimized when we are at home.”...
They're happy enough to buy nuclear-generated electricity from France.
I await the announcement that Germany will no longer do so. In the meantime, I will be reading my way through the entire
Boston Public Library...
Aha! Found it- and it kills:
As usual with the Spiders they're all over the place, but it just adds to the charm
If you dug that (and if you don't already have it), I'd highly recommend this:
