THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)
Dear John,
This
is a pretty weird letter, but I've heard others that may be more
bizarre. My husband and I are still getting used to being empty
nesters, Our youngest left for college last year, so I'm not sure who
all the kids are in the neighborhood these days, but I have driven
past a few “organized fights” in the street recently. The last
one was over the weekend. There was a group of neighbor kids in a
parking lot near my home with boxing gloves on and a crowd cheering
the two boys on. They all seemed to be about 11 years old to maybe
15. This looked like a scene from the movie “Fight Club” to me.
When I parked in my garage an walked out to see if everything was
OK... they had already taken off. This is the second time I've
witnessed a street fight with these young kids. After the first
incident I told my husband that I wanted to call the police, but he
told me to “stay out of it” now that there has been a second
event I think I need to call the police. What do you think? Is this
just kids being kids as my husband says? Do you think someone may get
hurt if I don't intervene? That's my fear. What are your thoughts?
Signed
– Concerned Neighbor

SCOOP OF THE DAY:
49-year-old Dona Reynaud, a former candidate for mayor of Kenner, Louisiana and the wife of a Kenner City Councilman, was arrested after police say she was the aggressor in a fight with a couple at the “Treasure Chest Casino.” Police officers were called to the Treasure Chest after casino security broke up a fight involving Reynaud and an unidentified man and woman. Reynaud, who appeared to be intoxicated, told officers the man shoved her with no physical provocation after she told his female companion that “it was not the time to be line dancing.” But the police checked the casino surveillance video and determined that Reynaud was the aggressor. She “removed both of her high heel shoes, ran towards the male, and punched him in the face,” causing him to fall out of his chair. She was booked for disturbing the peace. (https://goo.gl/V2xouA)

Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Louis
XIV of France really was as unpleasant a fellow as he's been
depicted. In 1674, when he was visiting a school at Clermont, he
heard from the school's authorities that one of the children, a nine-
year-old Irish lad named Francis Seldon, had made a pun about the
king's bald head. Louis was furious. He had a secret warrant drawn
up for the child's arrest, and young Seldon was thrown into solitary
confinement in the Bastille. His parents, members of one of Europe's
richest merchant families, were told simply that the child had
disappeared. Days turned to months, months to years, and Louis
himself passed away. But Francis spent sixty-nine years "in the
hole" for making fun of the king's baldness.

The
New York Daily News reported that a Brooklyn hair stylist threw his
client through the front window of a barbershop after the client
complained about his haircut. A 33-year-old customer at Levels
Barbershop in Crown Heights reportedly told his stylist that he was
unhappy with his haircut. He also threatened to withhold payment due
to the disappointing job. The infuriated barber reportedly shoved the
man through one of the front store windows, slicing his face open in
the process. The stylist who injured the man reportedly ran off when
it was discovered the man was bleeding. Paramedics took the victim to
Kings County Hospital. The barbers at the scene, named Small and
Donald Romelus, both maintain that they don’t know the stylist’s
name or how to reach him. (https://goo.gl/19mph3)
MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
An
Iowa man unhappy with waiting in a police station lobby area broke
into a secured area and was promptly arrested.
According
to police, 33-year-old Andrew Matthew Reagan came to the police
station with an assault victim around 10:00 p.m. last Friday night.
He was apparently unhappy with having to wait in the lobby area and
began tinkering with the door.
An
officer in another part of the building talked with Reagan through an
intercom, telling him that police were busy and officers would take
his friend’s report when one was available. Reagan allegedly
responded that an officer would be available once he got past the
front door.
Police
took the comment as a threat, and Reagan was arrested when he
defeated the lock and opened the door. He was charged with
second-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools.
