1. "cocaine is a powerful drug"

That is some crackhead behavior, on the gunman's part. Thankfully no injuries. They are on tv est right now. Kid looks nervous. They appear to be normal people.

was Camembert. Yummy!

5. I heard this last nite being reported.

I think the guy ended up saying he got the wrong house, and I think he left with the bottle of wine too!!!!
