I AM ABSOLUTELY STUNNED
KALB Newschannel 5 is devoting its noon program to DENYING the increase in crime in the Alexandria/Pineville area, stating that it's nothing but rumors. The Chief of Police in Pineville and the Rapides Parish Sheriff are spinning like crazy to keep the word from getting out.
There's a Sergeant from the Alexandria Police Department being interviewed right now trying to quash rumors about gang presence in the area (I can't confirm or deny anything about gangs myself). "Unless you SEE the action occur, do not believe it or report it," he just said, "You're causing a lot of anxiety and stress over nothing!"
Chief Darren Coutee of the Alexandria Police Department has announced that no more refugees will be accepted here, apparently in response to inquiries about people coming from the SuperDome. Pineville police have now decided to consolidated their refugees all at one spot, the old Wal-Mart building, in order to get them out of the smaller shelters scattered around the city.
Hey, KALB, tell that crock of crap to the gaping hole in my dashboard, OK?
