American

factory needed

Here we go again. Today's paper [Oct. 18, 2011] another factory closing in Poplar Bluff. Poplar Bluff, wake up and smell the coffee! And, they supply Briggs & Stratton. Yo-hoo! Let's have a factory that's American, not a foreign country. Thank you.

Totally

inappropriate

I have just come from McDonald's with three children -- 8, 6 and 4. Anyway, we were in the back in the play area and some man walked in there whether he be a police officer of any kind, you know, he was carrying a gun on his side and in there intermingling with the children. Leaning down and talking with people. You know I believe very, very inappropriate and very unprofessional for any law enforcement office of any kind to be in such an area as that.

I contacted the manager of McDonald's and she said she wasn't going to tolerate that either so we went back there to look. Evidently, the man had understood, you know, that was inappropriate and he shouldn't have been in there with that otherwise they would have throwed him out or had him removed by real peace officers with real respect.
