SHOPLIFTING: On May 7, a deputy was dispatched to Walmart, where a shoplifting suspect had attempted to run from store security, but was detained. Kenneth E. Ross, 421, of U.S. Highway 29 North, Athens, was charged with shoplifting about $54 in merchandise.

Mr. Ross was subsequently honored by the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's oldest shoplifter...

@crazy8golfer: last time I checked, the cookie place was on Epps Bridge Parkway, right across the street from said development, as was the 5 Points Deli, the Jersey Mike's, etc...

Now, who was it in the other May Day posts that said that the Occupiers were just like you and me? Well, sister let me tell you that these "anarchists" are not in any way associated with anything I'm celebrating today, but they sure look like they are celebrating pretty much the same ideals as you today...

I went to my doctor and told him, "My weiner is burning." He said, "That means somebody is talking about it."

Isn't 48 a little old to be on the elementary school PTA?

Quick, somebody get a picture of the young lad sitting on the front porch, innocently smiling for the media whores.

someone spends their Sunday afternoon screaming and barking like a dog, calling himself "the holy lamb of God" and the officer only issues him a citation?

Maybe the authorities should look into some sort of psychiatric help for this young man?

see...

Where are the moderators when you need them??? I can't ever say I'm [filtered word] off around here without being censored, but all this talk of Retards and Cocks makes me think someone's asleep at the wheel.

@catman: Didn't your mom try to sneak that cucumber out of the produce aisle?

Not a very nice welcome for the Caterpillar Company...

Anybody else read his name as Man-Dangle at first sight?

Please, oh please post this fool's picture.

But if we don't build the parks, where will the Occupiers go to camp out?

As one friend put it so eloquently, "In our youth we did not know to cherish each moment... in our adulthood we cannot help but cherish each memory."

Karyn will be terribly missed by more people than she could have ever imagined. Shane, Maree Jane, & Emma will hopefully be comforted by the fact that she touched so many people's lives.

I imagine she is now free of her bonds, and dancing and singing in eternal bliss and comfort. God bless.

THEFT: On Feb. 27, a resident of Salem Road reported the theft of her son’s tricycle. The deputy located some evidence at the scene that may help identify the thief.

Alabama folk been listening to Bill Cosby too much.

"You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you."

Seriously though, the whole story is just sad. My prayers for the little girl.

Diane Sawyer's cousin is Dionne Warwick?

@rcbljc: I guess you get what you pay for, eh?

I HERD this typo will MERRITT an award for the author...

@jtsim: which is exactly why he'd have a tax refund. We working stiffs pay the taxes for those to ignorant to hold down a job.

Hell, wrecking a car ain't nothing new for John Wes. He wrecks 'em every week at the race track.

@princeavemom2246: Could the university use this facility to train local authorities? That seems like an educational use, doesn't it?

Also, spending money on education doesn't necessarily improve education.

@onlineprofile: as a self-professed, lifelong school teacher, you would think that the first sentence of your comment would, at least, be grammatically correct. You may be a truer indicator of what's wrong with the educational system than the peer pressures these adolescents are supposedly going through.

Just my opinion...

@RightIswrong: and the only response you can muster is a -1 rating? Sad, just sad.
