  Dear Jessie,
  I like your reporting.
  About the shooting by FFAX police of a 61 year olf man -
  Why didn't they use a taser to disarm the man? Why didn't they use a bean-bag rifle to disarm the man? More shooting from FFAX police - too quick to pull the trigger.
  And if the man survives, is charged and convicted, how will he pay for a good lawyer to defend himself?
  Just wondering.

  This issue is important to the quality of our lives. Too much that is worthwile has been razed, ploughed under or obliterated. There has been sweetness exchanged for strip malls and convenience stores. What is BRAC really about? Balooning government on our doorstep, causing gridlock and threatening a beautiful oasis of verdant fields. This needs to be addressed. Don't Tread on Me, don't tread on Woodlawn Stables.
