3. sorry

I don't get the joke. I guess I'm to preoccupied

[JohnKleeb]

4. ok I'll explain the joke for everyone to hear

First of have any of y'all read Joseph Wambaugh, if so one of his classics is a book called the Onionfield a true account of a murder of a cop in an onionfield by a gunman who took the cop and his partner hostage, he shot and killed the one cop after asking him "Have you ever heard of the little limburgh law" the cop said yes, but he was wrong, the little limburgh law only applies for bodily harm in a kidnapping.

[shesemsmom]

6. oh yes

I read the book and remember that is why they decided to kill the cops. to leave no witnesses Thanks

8. well actually Powell did

Jimmy Lee Smith didnt know, when Powell brought Campbell and Hettinger to the field, only one man knew what was gonna happen and that man was Greg Powell.

Sorry. I'll try not to do that too often.
