| 2009-04-19 |
| A Phoenix Police Officer opened fire on man Saturday night when police responded in West Phoenix. Phoenix police were still searching for suspects Saturday following a home invasion in the 4200 block of 35th avenue according to Sgt. Andy Hill. Police arrested three men with one sent to the hospital with a gunshot wound. Details were not yet available about the conformation on the man and Phoenix officer. Hill said the suspects were armed. The home invasion occurred at about 9:45 p.m. Saturday night. Hill said between three to six men entered an apartment and multiple victims were involved. Police had set up a perimeter and were canvassing the area. Arturo Lopez was talking with a group of friends and family when three of the suspects came running through. "They just ran right through us and the cops ran through us," said Lopez, 18, of Goodyear. The suspects then took off their shoes and threw them so they could run faster Lopez said. Then he heard shots. Lopez was visiting his mother and brothers in the apartment complex on Saturday night. He said shootings in the area are common and he is trying to get his family to move. "I feel terrible about it," Lopez said. "I feel bad about my mom living here." |

| #4 They're egyptian? Haven't I read that back in the olden days (and still today in many countries), when people used to wear overhelmingly flip-flop sandals and wooden shoes, first thing you'd do when running away in abject fear like the coward you are was to kick off your shoes in order to actually be able to RUN, and then race straight ahead barefeet without even daring to look behind, screaming and weeping in terror, snot blowing out of your nose, and bowels ready to let themselves go. Thoses were the days. The 6-days war egytpians were just being old-fashioned, that's all. |

| #3 Not Americans then. Most of us haven't been barefoot (especially in natural terrain) since we were kids (and then not much). We couldn't run 40 feet on natural ground without injury. |
