Pinellas County Sherriff's deputies tried to bolster support for more neighborhood watch groups and spoke April 18 of more recent success in Dunedin bicycle patrols.

i'm in a wheelchair due to spinal cord injury, need caretakers, and i can't imagine taking a punch. There's no way to avoid, or soften, the blow, which would probably do neck damage. You got to be pretty low to punch a guy in a chair - hope they lock this dangerous dude up for long time.   more ›
