Funniest Police Blotter Stories EVER! From Flathhead Valley Montana.
Sometimes we dream about moving to a place where there isn't a murder every night and you don't have to worry about Lethal Flash Mobs attacking you in the middle of the day.

I wouldn't mind living in a place where crimes like these occur:
