An additional case, in last weeks paper. A 19 year old teen and his 18 year old girlfriend, who live in two towns 20 miles from here, drove their car to Wisconsin, where they ran out of gas. They solicited the help of a 75 year old man, who took them to town, pumped gas in a can for them, and brought them back to their car. The boy then grabbed a tire iron from the trunk, choked the ole man while yelling for his girlfriend to grab his keys. The old fella fought them off, and they jumped into their car and drove off, to be causht a short time after. Both are on probation for recent crimes in the area, including meth manufacturing, assault and theft. I've got a feeling, call it a hunch, that my area will be hearing more from these p.o.s after the criminal justice system slaps their hands for this latest crime. It seems that we have a regular rash in this area for these kinds of crimes, this being the second boy/girl team in the last few months. I am reluctantly against the death penalty in general, however, the "frontier justice system" in me calls out for criminals like this!
