A University of Florida student from the African country of Ghana, Kofi Adu-Brempong, allegedly 'psychotic' for a year or so, was shot in the face by a police officer last Wednesday here in Gainesville, Florida. In the hospital, Kofi's condition was recently upgraded from critical to serious. Kofi was said to have had polio as a child, and moved around with the aid of a cane. Charges of police brutality have been leveled against the officers involved in the shooting and arrest. A press conference was held about this shooting Saturday, and a protest has been planned a couple of weeks from now.

If you feel like doing so, if you have the inclination, visit my blog: Lunatic Fringe. We're open 24/7. If you're really brave, you might even want to comment on a post or two. I've had a trickle of traffic there, and I was thinking, gee, wouldn't it be great to have a steady stream of regulars? If the truth be known though, I'd be just as happy if the spot remained our little secret. One or two friendly visitors every now and then is fine with me.
