snowflakes

· · 🌡️ 77°F

As I drove down Hertel today I present a simple question: Can we take down the snowflakes off the light poles already!?!?

Cameras, prove your worth

· · 🌡️ 52°F

So those controversial cameras we all know about are being put to the test in the media thanks to the hit & run on Chippewa & Delaware courtesy of Marshawn Lynch's Porsche, and the mugging of an elderly woman at Hertel & Colvin, both intersections with the cameras installed.

It took 5 minutes for an ambulance to respond at Chippewa and BPD won't comment on anything....and no real police response at Hertel...no comment again from BPD there, and no apprehension of said mugger. So if we installed these cameras and they're being monitored 24/7, wouldn't police immediately be able to be dispatched/respond with detailed information and solve these cases very quickly? Wouldn't the city also be all too eager to tout the justice dished out by these cameras for good press on a controversial project? It would be one thing if the cameras were being used to their fullest but if it's another joke, shame on you Byron Brown.

On a sidenote, if Lynch is guilty and I'm sure he is (I don't often loan out my Porsche at 4am), it could result in up to a year in prison, not to mention any potential team/league sanctions. And it will also result in further proof that there is a curse against the Bills as we watch our best chance at making the playoffs in 10 years disapear in smoke.
