Police visit

If he'd just explained why he was there when she asked, things would have been different.  Instead he was being a twit and wouldn't say why he was there.

Cops can't help it. No offense but so many of them seem to below average intelligence. Dur... Uhhh???

I asked him "Why?"

A more polite question: "Are you investigating a crime? and if so, how can I help you?"

Merle is one cop who deserves respect and politeness.

[Lloyd Danforth]

I treat him the same as anyone else

Your lucky he hasn't shot you.

When I asked him this question, I didn't even know who he was. I don't usually ask random strangers if they're investigating a crime.

So he wasn't in uniform? If not, I can understand.

[Russell Kanning]

Yeah, way to go in our relations with the town.

I don't want any relations with "the town" ... I do with my neighbors.

[Russell Kanning]

As to your relations with the town, I understand your place of residence is referred to as "the compound". That's what folks that don't mind burning your house to the ground call someone's homestead.

I call it the Liberty Lane Estate when talking with the mail folks.

I don't help cops investigate "crimes".

[Russell Kanning]

I treat him the same as anyone else

that makes sense

Nope. Not in uniform.

Rifleman robs NH country store

Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2008

GRAFTON – A masked man armed with a long rifle last night robbed the Grafton Country Store on Route 4.

Police said the man entered the store carrying a rifle, immediately demanded money from the clerk and tried unsuccessfully to pull the cash register off the counter.

He ran out of the store empty-handed and got into a vehicle believed to be a gray Volvo that headed north on Route 4. Witnesses chased after the car but were unable to catch up to it.

The Volvo was last seen on Cross Road in Canaan. Investigators do not know if more than one person was involved in the robbery.

The robber is described as possibly being in his early 20s, about 6 feet tall, with a slim build and wearing a black sweatshirt and camouflage face mask.

Police are following up on several leads.

Anyone with information is asked to call State Police, Troop F, at 846-3333. Trooper Alex Davis is heading the investigation.

[Lloyd Danforth]

I hope he wasn't wearing a V mask.

When I asked him this question, I didn't even know who he was. I don't usually ask random strangers if they're investigating a crime. 

But, you let Random Strangers into the house.

I've been resisting pointing that out since I read your post
