Madison has Gang Related Shooting

Aug 13, 2009   //   by David Bates   //   All About Madison, Life Stories  //  No Comments


Today I learned of a gang related shooting in Madison from DigTriad on twitter. It happened on Fern street which is a little ways from my house thank goodness. When I told my wife about it this afternoon she informed me that she saw the filming crew at the police station (which is two doors down). I hope that the Police have captured the gang members involved and hopefully I won’t have any news like this for a long time…
It is scary though to know that such a small town has gangs in it… Hopefully they would never be stupid enough to try and bother me, smith, and wesson :)

Wasted Youth

This morning I woke up at 5:30am and started my walk around the town of Madison. I do this everymorning now instead of working in our gym here at work as it provides me with a little more time at home. This morning however I desided to sit in the town gazebo and watch the sun come up. I was sitting for no longer than a minute when my whole experience was interupted by this:

If I had had a Red anything in hand I would have jotted a note to the wasted youth that looked like this:

But given that it is the digital age I can send my message without ever destroying property. clearly this youth has not recieved a cell phone yet :)
