Tapuach Junction [Was] Blocked, Two Arrested

According to my sources, two tires "accidentally" caught fire.

A couple of teen-agers who live on my street were arrested. There are expected to be released soon.

Another neighbor was almost arrested. However, the police apparently did not want to "deal" with him, and simply reminded him about an outstanding warrant. He agreed to appear in court on the appointed date, and they left him alone.

The police seemed to be choosing their shots,...at least tonight they were.
