God Bless Chuck Morgan. He’s the director in in-stadium entertainment at Rangers Ballpark. He’s not a fan of the wave. So he put a message on the Jumbotron saying, among other things, that any children caught doing the wave would be sold to the circus. The prank has caused quite a stir (sub. req., but you can read more about it here for free; seems the DMN is a bit behind on this one). (PS: The Rangers beat the Red Sox 4-0, and up in Boston, they don’t much care for our heat.)
Fire at Scarborough Renaissance Festival. One person was killed and several buildings went up in flames at the site of the yearly fair outside Waxahachie.
Father Drowns Two Sons. There is one image that I cannot get out of my head from this unthinkably sad story: the grandmother sitting in the car with her two dead grandsons, ages 3 and 5, waiting for paramedics to arrive. Naim Rasool Muhammad, the father of the boys, does not deserve the time he left on this earth.

Good for Mr. Morgan. I am one who believes the wave has no place in professional sports. It takes focus off of watching the game and puts it on the fans as you wait to see when you stand next. The only thing that would have been better is if it wasn’t a prank. Seeing children auctioned off to the circus would stop the wave really fast.
So Pct 1 Constables decline to pursue a violent kidnapper driving two children away to their deaths because their MARKED police unit is not equipped with lights or sirens?!?!?
-What were they driving, the Pct 1 KwanzaaFest Parade Car?
All constables are a waste of tax dollars. Too bad the poor mom ran into a “rule follower,” and not a person with basic common sense. The officer could have at least followed the guy until the real police showed up.
If there was ever a rock solid reason to get rid of the money-wasting constables program, this is it. What sort of idiot “law enforcement officer” would sit there and not do anything but call DPD while a kidnapper calmly drives away from the kidnapping scene?
“Fortunately, we don’t have to do Scarborough Renaissance Festival until next April. We should have all these buildings replaced by then,” said Orvis Melvin, Scarborough sales director .
