    I am very curious as to why so many evidences are left in open fields for the police to find. I just read a previous article in this same newspaper issue where apparently a gun and ammo were left in an open field in Kara kara too. If these two reports are true, then these alleged offenders are getting dumber and dumber. Personally I don’t believe the latter!

    I guess you refused to carry my comment on marijuana versus alcohol ( THE DEMON) , no one advertises marijuana but you get alcohol advertisement and i can understand why. But in your publication today, you reported that the man who assaulted the policeman was INTOXICATED,guess from what, Alcohol the demon.
