Catfish Bend Daylight Mugging


Burlington Police Shirk Duty & Selectively Investigate On Private Property

Spike,

The victims of the mugging are feeling better, although they cannot fix her arm because of the cancer, she also sustained bruised ribs and a dislocated shoulder.

This happened last Thursday at 2:30 in the afternoon, they were leaving by way of the back door near Yong's restaurant. Her husband went to the men's room, she was on the phone with her sister, when a man came by and tried to grab her purse.

The thief was trying to run with it, with her not letting go, he finally yanked back and she fell (he didn't get her purse). He ran out the door and other people chased him, but a car was waiting for him, he jumped in and took off.

The police were called, but said they could do nothing since the casino is privately owned, so the state is looking into it.

This couple is in their 70's! Where is the security in this place? I still don't understand why it didn't make the paper, to warn others about what can happen there.

Be careful when you go visit Pzazz Complex. It's not safe, even in broad daylight.

Thank you Spike for publishing this information.

I'd recommend they hire a good lawyer from out of town.

As for the private property angle, if every arrest the Burlington Police Department has made out there is bogus because it is private property, I'd guess all the drunks and fighters would get a pass on prosecution. A good defense lawyer will see to it.

You might remember the ex-cop that runs security for Catfish Bend is Dave Walker's son and was allowed to resign (fired) for stealing from his girlfriend, Tom Courtney's daughter that was police officer's widow. Dave Walker is a board member Catfish Bend and just beat Heland in the SCC election.

I hope your friends find some peace to this.

Feds: Food stamps swapped for Viagra, booze, porn


"DETROIT — Viagra and pornography are not staples on the government's food stamp list. But authorities said a Detroit store supplied them during a series of illegal deals. Federal prosecutors filed fraud charges this week against three people who worked at Jefferson's Liquor Palace.

.....But in some transactions, confidential informants got more than cash. The government said the store provided Viagra, painkillers, liquor, and porn videos in exchange for swiping about $2,000 off food stamp cards."

A Scene from "Rawhide" at the Relief Office


Spike,

"The economic tsunami washing over metro Detroit swept its casualties to the doors of Cobo Center on Wednesday in the form of 35,000 people so desperate for help with mortgage and utility bills that threats were made, fights broke out and people were nearly trampled."

Your site has offered comparisons of Burlington to Detroit that are painful to even think about.

Will we the lemming sheep stampede for forms at the Des Moines County Court House like a herd of wild animals? Should massage therapy be provided to relive stress before it becomes physical distress?

Raise 'em Raise 'em Raise 'em
Raise 'em Raise 'em Raise 'em
Raise 'em Raise 'em Raise 'em
Raise 'em Raise 'em Raise 'em

Rawdeal!

Raise ‘em Raise ‘em Raise ‘em
Though Derailed's complainin',
Keep them taxes raisin' Rawdeal!
Claim you understand 'em,
Then rope a dope and strand 'em,
You'll keep living high and wide.
Through schemin’ calculatin'
Your IPERS will be waitin',
waitin' to pay ya 'til ya die

CHORUS
Move 'em left, cut 'em off
Cut 'em off, move 'em left
Move 'em left, cut 'em off Rawdeal!
Scare 'em off, run 'em out
Run 'em out, scare 'em off
Cut ‘em off, run ‘em out Rawdeal.

Raise 'em Raise 'em Raise 'em
Though the debt keeps gainin’
Keep them taxes rasin’
Rawdeal!
No need to fear rejection
Each time there's an election
The Ad Vertiser's on your side
All the things I'm gettin'
My pay it ain't a slippin'
IPERS extends beyond my ride

CHORUS
Move 'em left, cut 'em off
Cut 'em off, move 'em left
Move 'em left, cut 'em off

Keeping Criminals Off Our Streets


"The only thing missing out front of the court house were the crack whores and pimps."

When it comes to government buildings around here, the undesirables are not on the outside looking in. They are on the inside looking out. It is one of those things the Ad Vertiser will never tell you.
