.. would have been a
good thing for these idiots.
An unruly mob lured emergency personnel to a housing complex near St. Louis with reports of a blaze, a shooting and other crimes, then attacked them with fireworks and bottle rockets, authorities said.
No one was injured in the onslaughts against firefighters and police in Alton on Sunday night and early Monday.
But even worse...
The attackers apparently intended the assaults as entertainment for a hundreds-strong crowd of adults and children who had gathered at the Oakwood Housing Complex to watch, said Mark Harris, a deputy fire chief who witnessed the attacks.
So attacking cops and firefighters is _entertainment_? But even worse..
Police officers and firefighters were attacked again when they returned to the neighborhood to douse a blazing box early Monday.
Why do I think that I'll be staying out of the Alton city area for a long time? Because I"m not expecting them to get much help from the local authorities anytime soon... (and I'm glad I changed my mind when Alton was one of the first place I considered moving to when I first moved to St. Louis)
