What the hell is wrong with people? 123 people were arrested Saturday at a church that was converted to a pit-bull-fighting arena. The cops let the 5-year-old serving barbecued chicken to the patrons go home with her mother after her mother was booked, but the police are going to charge the mother with child abuse.
Apparently, this was big business in Covington, Georgia, with a quarter mill in cash being confiscated. About 70 law enforcement officers raided the place with the Georgia Air National Guard providing air support.
It was later reported that the chicken cook tried to run, but didn't get far. And a guy recovering from open heart surgery had some problems, but he fared better than one gentleman who tried to escape by diving out a plate glass window and smashed his head into a brick wall.

i hate people, they are assholes.
Posted by: mark at January 19, 2004 09:40 PMThat story has inspired me.
Inspired me to work as hard as I can for as long as it takes to save enough money to buy a small island in the Pacific. There I will spend the rest of my days basking in the sun.
Oh, and I will also arrange for 124 people to be transported to my private island where they will fight to the death.

Posted by: Anji at January 20, 2004 02:48 AMActually, it says the spectacle was only moved to Covington after Jones and Bibb County (much closer to my old stomping grounds) authorities were on to them. I have many things I could call these people, but I'm trying to be better about that. All southerners aren't alike, any more than white, middle-aged males are. *G*
