People have been robbing pharmacies since dinosaurs roamed the earth, but lately things are getting out of hand. It seems like every day somebody is robbing a local pharmacy of all their oxycontin and/or oxycodone. A few months ago a Pinellas Park man "broke the ice" by walking into a Walgreens, demanding some kind of narcotic, and shooting up right in front of everybody. Since then the oxy thefts have been sharply trending upward. The thefts occur mostly during the day, and the general m.o. is thus:
A guy walks into a pharamcy, whispers that he has a gun to the pharmacy tech, and says give me all your OxyContin. Except if the pharmacy is a Wallgreens. Then they ask for Oxycodone, because Wallgreens no longer stocks OxyContin.
Well, in Holiday, FLA someone robbed a Sweetbay (formerly Kash n Karry, which was formerly Food Lion) pharmacy this past Friday and stole a bunch of OxyContin using the method described above. Now that's pretty mundane, but the good part is that the Holiday locals, who are famous for thier unusually small average number of teeth per mouth, have began a healthy public debate on the issue. Here it is, copied word for word:

They need to put those thick glass around the pharmacy like they do at
most gas station because it's only going to get worst. |

Yes Irene and Ilean...I totally agree. I have said I need to find an
island w/o the sick monkey!! All this crime will escalate. Kids ruining
graves, murders, sex crimes and a/c copper stealing for money...gee
lock up your a/c unit!! This is sooo sick |
Pesonally, I think that SusieQ is onto something. If I ever find an island I would like it without a sick monkey.
Now ilean may wery well have a valid point, but I am pretty sure the post is just haiku practice. And boy does ilean need practice. It's 5, 7, 5 iilean! Of course, you can tell that ilean is a highly educated person, what the multiple commas, which is taught at all the finest univerities nowadays.
And last but not least Irene. Irene, your suggestion is just plain stupid. Enclosing a pharamcy in glass is asking for trouble. Do you have any idea how hard that would be to keep clean? Real hard, that's how hard. And just who will pay for the added expense? You and me and every other hard-working American, that's who.
