PHILADELPHIA -- Four members of a Philadelphia family are facing aggravated assault charges for allegedly beating up a city trash collector.
Richard Meyers says it started after he passed a house that didn't have its trash at the curb.
Meyers says he and a co-worker were slowly following their city garbage truck, picking up trash bags, when a man yelled for the truck to stop after it passed his house. Meyers says the truck kept moving, although slowly enough for the man to put his trash in the back.
Meyers says the man got angry -- then began hitting and kicking him, with his wife and two sons joining in. Meyers says he had to dive under the truck for protection.
It seems to me that the only thing dirtier than the back of a garbage truck would be the underside of a garbage truck. Eww.
And thas has WHAT connection to religion?
I series think this is a HUGH article to post in the religion forum:-> [/wink]
