No Runny Eggs

From today’s JSOnline’s DayWatch –

• A 16-year-old boy was shot and killed about about 1:50 a.m. this morning in a yard in the 2100 block of N. 38th St. – I could’ve swore that today was a school day at MPS.
• A 23-year-old man was ejected from a car and died about 2:40 this morning after a crash he apparently initiated on S. Layton Blvd., police said. According to police reports, the man started attacking the 23-year-old woman who was driving the car southbound. – Two words, and only two words can describe this one; “Just damn”.
• An 18-year-old student at Pulaski High School was arrested after a gun was found in his locker Thursday, Milwaukee police said today The gun was not loaded, said police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz. She said the boy dropped the gun from his pocket during a class Thursday…. – Not only is MPS failing to teach kids to any sort of standard, they can’t even teach basic stay-out-of-jail skills. The FIRST place the cops are going to start looking for a gun after you drop it in a classroom (where you shouldn’t be armed in the first place) is your locker.

Nope, this is not a crisis, at least according to Mayor Tom “Milk Carton” Barrett. If it weren’t so tragic, I might laugh at that proposition, because it definitely IS a crisis.

Speaking of DayWatch, is anybody else having issues with the HTML in their RSS feed (I won’t mention that they don’t provide hotlinks to individual posts)? Sometimes, the closing “>” will show up as “>” (the HTML code for that all-important symbol), sometimes it will properly trigger the display of the enclosed HTML, and those changes on that same post throughout the day will trigger the “update” feature in SharpReader. Also, any links that do show up will not open properly.
