Story 4: Paulding Arrest Reports
Ashlee Herndon Gardner from Dallas said “Was just SFX:BLEEP arrested in Sept for child molestation/sodomy!!! Why is he out?!? ”
Crystal Lean'ne Ogletree said “People like this never change and should either be behind bars, an institution, or on an island. There is something wrong with their mental that you cannot deprogram. Did someone allow a minor to go around him again after the first time he did it, or are they just finding out about other situations after the first one???? He's sick in the head and whomever is in denial needs to see a therapist as well. Absolutely disgusting! I'm praying for his victim (s).”
Finally Jeannie Terry Tuggle from Winston commented “Castration. And institutionalized. That's the only choice since hangings aren't a thing anymore.”
Mark Tibbetts from Dallas said “That is methed up”
Tonya Tant from Atlanta commented “Remember that she is someone's child please don't spread hate”
Lastly Calvin Jones from Dallas said “That’s really sad. I knew her once upon a time she used to be pretty.”
AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE ONLY BEEN ARRESTED AND ARE NOT CONVICTED. THEY HAVE NOT HAD THEIR DAY IN COURT WHEN WE RECORDED THIS PODCAST. WE WISH THEM LUCK ON THEIR DAY IN THE COURT

Story 6: Weird News: Bale of straw hanging from London's Millennium Bridge as part of 'quirky tradition'
A bale of straw is hanging from London's Millennium Bridge as part of an ancient tradition and London byelaw. The tradition serves a practical purpose by warning river traffic of maintenance and repair work on the bridge. The bridge will be closed until November 5 for cleaning and the replacement of a membrane layer. When work is being conducted under the bridge, the straw bundle is lowered to alert traffic on the Thames to the reduction in headroom. This quirky tradition, which dates back centuries, is mentioned in the Port of London Thames Byelaws and helps fulfill a safety requirement. London's many historical byelaws also include regulating kite flying and rug beating in public thoroughfares.
