Default Re: Assault at Bridgeport gate

I have a tendency to take reported crimes in newspapers with a huge grain of salt since all of the facts are rarely there. However, that others witnessed the attack puts a lot more credence into the way it happened. Even so, as has been said, all of the facts will come out (even though we will probably never hear them) and, hopefully, justice will be served. (Is this wishy-washy enough?)

The main thing I got out of the newspaper story and the thread here is how we really have to be careful of golf carts -- whether we're in one or not. As was said, they are not toys. I know of one fatality that was caused because the woman was reaching down to get something on the floor of her cart, hit the curb and was thrown out. What a tragic ending to someone's life!
