  1. Nice job people, glad there were no serious injuries.

  2. You’re supposed to put them all on before leaving. At least in the movies.

  3. I love it…

  4. He should be well dressed for his arraignment.

  5. The owner of the store lost his house to a horrible fire a few years ago, in Glen Rock And I am pretty sure his dog died in the fire. I am so glad they caught the robber at his store. Enough already.
