He was picked up by an ambulance knocked out on the side of the road. He spent two days in the ER as a result of a stage 3 concussion among many other things. It was a completely surreal and frightening experience. I mean, FREMONT? On a WEDNESDAY NIGHT?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13737982.post-44985314397736341152008-08-22T13:45:00.000-07:002008-08-22T13:45:00.000-07:00This is really scary and sad to me.

If no one will defend the helpless, and our cities are overtaken by violence.... how UNfree this country will be. Makes you want to learn more self defence moves or carry a weapon or something.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334991684507169424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13737982.post-8881509262231901772008-08-21T13:57:00.000-07:002008-08-21T13:57:00.000-07:00I don't know if other parents have had this experi...I don't know if other parents have had this experience, and not to say that crime wasn't an important topic before, but I'm a heck of a lot more sensitive to these types of news stories that that I'm a mother. I'm all for greening our lifestyles and such but what good will any of that do if we don't feel safe walking in public in the middle of the day. Even our small city in northern Oklahoma has seen a rise in crime recently. I'm at a loss when it comes to my son at times. He's only two but at some point I'm going to have to let him out of the house alone. I dread that day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067025119431637535noreply@blogger.com
