A guy in Colorado was handed a 19-year sentence for “plotting” to attack a synagogue. Does ANYONE think that the perp, in this case, will get anywhere near that sentence?
“What country is Floyds Knob in?”
Kind of a personal question, isn’t it?
It’s basically the rural outskirts of New Albany, Indiana, which itself is a “bedroom” community of Louisville, KY on the northshore of the Ohio River.
Results sound like it was committed by a follower of Mohamed because it’s in their credo known as Sharia
Looks like of Floyd’s Knobs get angry, it could snuggle into Dixville Notch to expel that anger.
Then, have a cigarette.
