“If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.??? Samuel Adams

ROAD-RAGE SHOOTING CHARGE FILED
Police filed felony assault charges Friday against a Throop man who allegedly shot a city man during a road-rage confrontation. [This one is interesting because the shooter was struck by the road-rager before he fired. He called in the shooting, I??m sure believing that he had acted in self defense, but was charged with felony assault and jailed.]
