Speak-Out: ‘Suspicious’ characters, attention for soap box winner

For a relatively small town, Bristol has, as any careful reader of the Bristol Phoenix’s police report will know, an INCREDIBLE NUMBER OF SUSPICIOUS PEOPLEi living here. Kids playing in the street — suspicious. Private investigators in parked cars — suspicious (even though they are sitting there observing suspicious people). People looking for a lost dog — suspicious. Sitting in your car on your cell phone — suspicious (why can’t you just drive and dial like the rest of us). All teenagers — doubly suspicious. Living on Sousa Steet — extra suspicious (except for the one resident there who I know is reading this … you alone are not suspicious, so no need to call in a scathing rebuttal). On another note, for a relatively small town, Bristol has an incredible number of “dispersed” people. Maybe the Bristol Police Department should look into this.

In the June 8 edition of the Phoenix, I was very disappointed that you didn’t have the WINNER OF THE SOAP BOX DERBY on the front page, and then on the inside was a very small picture. That I was very disappointed in.
