In one instance, five armed men forced their way into a house demanding to know where the safe deposit was. They taped the man's ankles with duct tape as they held him down on the ground.
It was enough for the Montgomery Police Department to call in helicoptors, and enough to be a big story on WSFA's newscast, but not enough to be reported in the Montgomery Advertiser newspaper.
As of 10:27 am today, the top headlines are (in order):
"State swaps old high court building for parking"
"Audits allege sloppy records, corruption"
"Jackson Hospital defends low rank in heart attack study"
In the "Latest News Updates section, the headlines are (in order):
"State Farmers Market Day set for July 14"
"ASF to announce Young Southern Writers' Project finalists on
Saturday"
"Eve's Circle summer camp accepting teenage girls"
"Five places to go! today"
"Pump Patrol: Today's Gas Prices"
"Good Morning Central Alabama"
When a story happens in your town that seems like it was taken from a scene in Lethal Weapon 2, and helicopters are called in, the people tend to be more concerned with this than State Farmers Market Day. Details, please.
