8-9 bucks for a movie ticket, 10 dollars minimum for concessions, and the chance to get shot. No thanks!!! Especially to see a movie that I know the outcome of already. Thank goodness for Netflix and online shopping. I'm just going to stay hold up in my house.
Since Mitch Johnson, Linda Miles and the City Council destroyed the GPD in their drive to destroy David Wray the criminals believe they have the upper hand so more crime is happening. In 2004 under David Wray homicides were down to 15 from the low 30's where they had been for some years. Now they are going even over that under an unprepared incompetent Police Chief. Tim Bellemy is probably a nice guy and a good cop but he is not fit to be Chief. BB
