There is an article in the newspaper today praising the two new local websites – one a citizen’s support site and the other a Computer aided Dispatch system which really just shows 911 calls.
When I checked the site this afternoon the call that caught my eye was “Terrorist
Threat”. Wait, in Paris? Texas? What is more bizarre is when I looked up the address it was the local McDonalds. What would be the point? Mickey D’s is killing us anyway – all an enemy would have to do is wait for the cholesterol to hit it’s ceiling limit and poof! We’re gone.
I can’t imagine a scenario where something could happen in the McDonalds here that could constitute a threat.
As Alice would say, “Curiouser and Curiouser”….
…and this morning I checked it and unit P237 was involved somewhere on Clarksville St …. you’ll never guess the nature of the call. The website actually said “Report Writing Time”. I assume the addy on Clarksville St is for the police HQ. Now, here’s the scenario I’m seeing: Unit P237 has to do some paperwork (possible related to the terrorist bombing at McDonalds?) So apparently, having to fill out paperwork is considered an ’emergency’ now???
And suddenly I am about to spew my drink out in laughter as I imagine Ronald McDonald and Grimace in turbans and AK47s, waving them enthusiastically and shouting. You can’t make this stuff up, people!
