115 N 2nd St - #12C00727 – Assault with a Knife
Officers were flagged down and told there was an unconscious male on the steps of the Baja Bar.
Officers located an extremely intoxicated and unconscious 22 year old male on the top step of the
bar next to a large puddle of vomit. Officers made several attempts to wake the male (nudged him,
shook him, activated their emergency sirens) and after some time, the male stood up and
attempted to walk away and would not cooperate with officers (refused to sit, ignored instructions,
etc). At some point during this incident, the male removed and concealed something from his
pocket, and when officers heard a “click,” they realized the male had a knife. The male then
attempted to slash the officer with the knife, the officer aimed his weapon at the male and shouted
at him to “drop it,” and the male dropped the knife. Officers took the man to the ground and
handcuffed him. The male was arrested on charges of Aggravated Assault, Concealed Weapon
and Obstructing. The male continued to resist arrest, and due to his level of intoxication, he was
taken to KMC and later transported to the jail. As he sobered up, he became confused about the
charges involving the knife (could not remember) and cried while he was being booked.

FYI: KMC = Kootenai Medical Center

Case in point:

Nice job, Spokesman Review. This is what your site looks like in my browser.

The part I enjoy most is both the appropriate and inappropriate use of the apostrophe. I see this truck around town from time to time. I finally had a camera handy and snapped a picture of it. I also submitted it to GrammarBlog.

Case in point: this article from a local paper.

A young man, Kyle Jarvis, taking a short cut to catch a bus found the truck in an abandoned barn. The barn’s door had been closed. Jarvis knew that was unusual and peaked inside.

So, as the Pacific plate slowly crashed into the North American plate, Mr. Jarvis was pushed to the highest altitude he had yet attained, thus he peaked inside the abandoned barn.

Even after leaving a sarcastic comment, it remains uncorrected.

So as much as I wish my iPhone would die in a fire, at least now I can listen to some podcasts and stop/start them with the extra buttons like it should have worked all along.

PS Apple's Google-hating is really pissing me off. I will totally switch to an Android-based OS next chance I get…

I have no idea what that second word is (Channel, Chamfer, Champion?). This is one more example of how many things on the 'net are broken.

Take SMTP (RFC 821) for example. It was written in 1982 as a mechanism to deliver electronic mail. Despite being added to over the years, it's still basically the same, security-flawed protocol it's always been. Which is why we have email spam today. My corporate mail server processes around 15,000 emails per day, of which only about 2.5% actually gets delivered. That means about 97.5% of mail delivered to us is junk. What a colossal waste of resources!

Alas, only in America would there be someone that not only didn't realize crunchberries weren't real, but also file a law suit about it.
