A heating and cooling facility on Marlowe and Gratiot just got raided on a tip for having what is being reported as millions of dollars of copper piping and other scrapper paraphanalia.

Quietly take it over, and arrest every scrapper that comes in trying to sell their stolen wares. Keep doing it until word gets out and they stop coming. |

The more they close down these places where people can sell their wares, the better. I agree they need to get the scrappers gone, too, but if there's no place to sell it, that will help. |

^^A heating and cooling facility on Marlowe and Gratiot...
Gratiot is an east side street and Marlowe is on west side. Huh?

Just reporting what I heard on Channel 7. It's even on their website as Marlow and Gratiot near City Airport. They could mean Barlow, I guess. |

Yes, we should stop frequenting neighborhood independent businesses because this idiot was dealing in stolen copper.
What the hell sort of correlation are you trying to draw? |

A false one...
...makes me think of my friend's statistical example, something like 80% of men get into car accidents in their lifetimes...and 70% of men eat red meat...so red meat obviously causes accidents, or you should at least watch out for men behind the wheel of cars without PETA stickers on 'em.
Although that one pickemup truck had People Eating Tasty Animals in the fine print of his... |
