Analyzing Troubling Surge of 'Takeover' Robberies in the San Fernando Valley

Question: There have been more than 200 "takeover" robberies of restaurants and other businesses over the last year. Why has this become such a problem? From LA Times 8/23/06

Um.....

Maybe because, people don't like being taken over and robbed? Just a guess... :dontknow:

Side note: Takeover Robberies="Usually, they involve masked and armed robbers swarming a business.

The assailants often make a dramatic gesture, such as holding a gun to someone's head. They take cash and other valuables — not just from the till but also from employees and patrons."

It is really good to see you contribute Daenvgiell and Lindy. I know that some of them are dumb and some of them really amuse me. :) I'll keep posting them as they come up. If no one enjoys them, I'll take the hint.

Thanks

The small Dutch town of Drachten has installed a children's playground in the middle of one of the roads to force drivers to slow down. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2143663,00.html

Who’s bright idea was it to think that kids would make great speed bumps?!? :estaloco: Yes, I see the importance of slowing down but isn't one of the main reasons to "PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING HURT?" I'm glad I don't live there.

:no:

I agree.... it was a decent article...one I just shook my head at though..... A lot of traffic accidents in my area the last couple of weeks..... too many needless deaths. Hard to think of children getting hurt because of some adults brilliant idea gone wrong.

'They Say I Ate My Father. But I Didn't' -L.A. Times 8/28/06

The 5 year old said, as she burped and politely said, “excuse me.” :itwasntme:

"They say I ate my father. But I didn't. I'm not a witch."

In all fairness, she is a 5 year-old and may be telling the truth. Or then again, maybe she just doesn’t know that “witch” and “cannibal” are not synonymous. :yuck:
