Could you guys maybe worry a little less about speeding and a little more about graffiti? Aren’t you even a little embarrassed that these evil-doers are now tagging your own equipment with apparent impunity? Put down the radar you wusses — you’ve got real guns — use ‘em.

*actually the opinions expressed here are strictly my own and do not reflect those of the Providence Daily Dose who are for the most part a bunch of uber-wusses, except there is that one other heterosexual gentile who seems pretty butch

As the trial of Nicholas Gianquitti, the retired police office accused of killing retired firefighter Jim Pagano in Warwick plays out in Providence this week, I have a question about one of the more disturbing facts of the case, although it doesn’t really matter now I guess. When Gianquitti went out into the street to yell at the children who had hit his car with a tennis ball, why did he have a loaded .380-caliber handgun in his waistband? Was he going to shoot them?

80% take the gun. Wouldn’t you?

Just when I was starting to like you, Mike. That’s messed up man.
