I think this situation is dangerous enough to warrant a police presence there if only at peak traffic hours.  Not everyone has the skills to dodge through that intersection successfully.  Even one person injured is way too many!!!
Nine lanes of entering traffic plus trains and foot traffic with a flashing red signal is NOT even vaguely acceptable  handling of this situation.  I go clear back around the Mall to avoid that mess.  Otherwise I use the meadow roads to get around it.  It will only take one mistake to make a serious problem for someone else.  The flashing red is NOT OK.

Heck, I've been waiting 25 years for them to fix the timing of that light so that more than 2-3 cars can make it thru the turn arrow light.   ...just one slowpoke at the front and only that car gets through.

WOW!! Talk about the life of Riley!  I want a dog to rub my feet on!

Bummer!  I was hoping this was a picture!!

The state will have a hand in setting up a new council and regulations to make sure this mafia style action isn't allowed to happen again.  Maybe mutual respect will actually become part of our lifestyle.  From the lowliest hidden home in the vale, to the grand mansions who think they are the norm and actually deserve special amenities, maybe they will see what has happened and develop some common sense, respect and compassionate values for all. 
Hern was probably once a normal man long ago before his head got filled with whatever rot caused this situation.  I didn't know him then, but I could see that he cared for the city's best interests till he seemed to worry more about the flashiness of the city and his own ego.  The kids used to be the reason for the sports in the area till the games HAD to be winners, and bigger and bigger!  For gambling? Now kids can't even play unless they have enough money to join and are good enough to be a winner?  What about the kids who have no serious athletic skills and end up walking away from the game, hurt and alone till they meet a bunch of other aggravated kids to hang with?  When do they get to play team sports and improve?
When will the leaders realize that this life is about growing plain old families, and jobs to support them.  A reasonable amount of social fluff is fine as long as the basics are taken care of first.  What about the minds of our children?  What are they supposed to think when what's going on now is what they have to look forward to?  When do they get to grow and dream of a good life of personal success and happiness, not just a life of things.

The kids in this country are hurting from a lack of God's love, not because they don't deserve it, but because their elders are not showing them how to find it!!  There is really nothing else worth living for, so what do these kids have of lasting value?

I'll disagree to that.  God is tangible in all of the excellence of this world that parents and elders do not display to the kids.  Instead they demonstrate the things you listed above.  A kid is not a void, they fill with what the elders show them is important and leave out the basis of it all.  "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?  These kids need the soul and everything good from God to fill it with or the world will fill it with junk.
Biden is living proof of a soul filled with nothing but junk.

There are cameras there.  Men were there today looking at the box.  I can't imagine the camera didn't catch them.
Just plan a route to avoid that intersection completely.

This is the FBI and they took two almost two years to sort out the evidence.  I would love to think they know what they are doing.  My only concern is who in the state government Herm might be linked to, and how that alone might affect the complete outcome.  No one really knows the complete story and how this may interlink with a mess of other entities.  When gambling is involved, there is no clear end to it.

Yes, when the FBI got involved, it became a federal case.  I want to know who else is going down with him, and whether this will improve the communication between the city and its citizenry.  Everything was always a secret before or tightly controlled.  Now we know why.  Now we also know who was the problem in the supposed DuBois/Sandy conflict which never really existed, other than the normal life-style differences between city people and country people, both of whom have to be able to survive.

Yes, these people will get their just rewards.  Unfortunately you will probably not know about it.  Your Mother-in-law's Debit Card money will be returned by the bank because someone got past their security measures.  Just notify them.  Talk to the Magistrate about your options to get the rent deposit back IF you are the Executor.  That is their responsibility.
I'm sorry for your loss, and sorrier still that on top of it you have to deal with thieves.  Tell the landlord that you want a written reason for not returning the Deposit.  If not then you can safely assume that they have no reason other than greed.  Pass the word.

Toni Cherry cannot represent Herm and the City.  She is employed by the city, and Herm would be a conflict of interest.  He will have to get his own lawyer.

I heard today that there is a landslide going down with him eventually!  Not surprising.

Something else is going on and this is the smoke screen.  If the get him in their control, do you think he'll come out alive? 

That's the problem, we stopped being the Land of the Free when we stopped being the home of the Brave!
Stop being a chicken, start standing up for your country.

Only if they are planted correctly!
