Wife wanted to go to the carnival last night, glad we didn't go. The quick stop where the arrest took place is only 1 block from our business (Bar) and about 2 miles to the house.

I guess they're tired of shooting up the neighborhoods on Great Mills Rd. Shocked that this is his first adult offense, going straight to the big time.

Now I’ve heard they’re canceling the carnival for the rest of the weekend. Sucks cause that’s one of their main fundraising events for the year. Unlike a lot of other Fire Departments Hollywood owns and operates all the rides and concession stands.

If they own and operate, wouldn’t that make it possible to easily pick another date and get another fundraising weekend in?

Where’s your bar? I’ll stop by this afternoon.

24702 Sotterley Rd. Hollywood, 1 block behind the Shell quick stop. If you do, have the grandson (he’s bartending today) give me a call. I’m not busy until 4:00.

It’s a possibility but they’ve been working for months to get it ready. It’s not easy to get that many volunteers to change schedules.

Heard about the carnival, this place is not what it used to be. My grand parents moved here from dc & pg in the 60s & 70s. It looks like we will have to cross the Potomac to flee the invasion.

How did your bar get its name? My grandfather had a story about it but he had lots of stories.

Democrap speak for Gangs

"Preliminary investigation determined that this was not a random act. The incident stems from an ongoing dispute between two known rival groups of youth offenders."

Too bad those Irish white guys can't settle their differences like reasonable people.

Former owner named it, we just kept it the same. He was from Missouri as I recall and Butch Cassidy and Sundance had ties to there also

I mean for once, can’t the perp be Amish?

Man, you got to be a special kind of stupid to even attempt something like this at a place like that. Last few times I've been to that carnival they were swarmed with both on and off duty police.
