Thank God for stores in South Augusta. Without them there'd be many more hold-ups in other parts of the city.
Wow, Rove's in town. I wish I was one of Augusta's elite.
You're not invited either TR. Quit whining.
patriciathomas -- guess they could call a crime on Augusta's south side instead of South Augusta --- eckon that would at least be different--- then on to Augusta's west side, etc.....
I must be exceptionally dense today kiddspur. I don't understand your post.
Stupid question here, why doesnt the movie theater hire an outside security firm to patrol the parking lot? You are aleady paying a small fortune to see a movie.
Kidsput: Please don't get baroness started so early in the day! It was in Hephzibah :-) By the way, it seems as if this same gang of 3 has been involved in more than just this robbery. It seems as if earlier in the week they robbed another store, and last night they were involved in a robbery on Wrightsboro Road.
I will let you know how the reception turned out.
patricia - posted before had morning biscuit -- instead of South Augusta - they could call it Augustas south side - or Augustas west side ,etc m-- maybe got it right this time
No longer matters what it is called -- it is still Richmond County, Ga ----
Maybe one of the Augustan bible thumpers can save him from his atheist ways.
Rove is a politcal genius who got a nominal personality 8 years in the White House. And, I LOVE the way he is telling the Democraps to shove it by not attending the committee that wants to parade him around DC. Deal with it.
Rove is indeed a political genius. He was the "architect" for 8 years of Bush.... "Every morning every Evening, Ain't we got fun...
Welcome Carl Rove! Welcome to a city dominated by idiot Democrats that will support an unqualified, unpatriotic, far left radical to be our next President-- Welcome to Disgusta!
edst4, they used to have Marshal's deputies working the parking lot. I don't know is they still do. They were ineffective, as they hid behind the movie theater instead of patrolling.
