I don’t really have a problem with this: Naked dog walker shocked with taser Brings back memories of this: Stop… I’m getting all misty…

A little girl flees hurricane Dean on her bike? Yes, it’s true. In Deland, police stopped a girl who had been missing for some time and was last seen riding her bike.
