Must be a slow news day.

Just heard on my local TV: a guy stopped two people on the street, flashed a fake cop badge, and made off with 14 whole dollars from the second person. The first one ran away and the miscreant got nothing.

They're calling it a "crime spree."

It's sweeps month and you'd swear that everyone was taking drugs, having their home invaded, etc etc etc. Of course they are "keeping you safe" by having their annual report on the hazards of Christmas tree lights.
