“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0
My local rag revisits a Great Moment in Politeness, reporting on the attempt to identify whodunnit:
A bullet fell from the sky just before Fourth of July fireworks shot into the heavens.
Most likely fired by a reveler near the Swift Creek Reservoir, its ascent lost steam just as throngs were converging on the banks to watch the show. High in the darkness above thousands of heads, gravity turned the bullet back toward Earth.
Now, police are trying to trace its arc in reverse, from its stopping place – inside the skull of a 7-year-old boy – all the way back to the finger that pulled the trigger.
