Across the street from my apartment complex this afternoon there was a man caught with a gun and homemade bombs. It was pretty frightening seeing the bomb squad in helmets and protective gear, guns drawn and hearing the bombs explode. Fortunately no one was injured as the police managed to get the gun and the bombs before anyone was hurt. Needless, to say, it has been a frightening afternoon! This is the second such incident in the past month.

That is a scary scenario! Is it just me or are there more nutcases on the loose these days. I know we've always had them, but...maybe it's just we get a surfeit of information so it just seems like there are more...
ReplyDeleteGlad you're OK.
And thank you for stopping by The Villages. We appreciate very much that you took the time to do that and make a comment!
That must have been a frightful event, Sylvia! Isn't it, terrible that we live in constant fear!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a scare you must have had! The Mother Teresa quote is simply perfect, and your photos are wonderful...:)
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are safe and no one got hurt
ReplyDeleteThat is so scary!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your wild afternoon. I am glad it ended well. What a world.
ReplyDeleteWoooooo---that is too close for comfort... Sometimes we just don't really know the people who live nearby, do we????? Scary!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and I love Mother Teresa's words.
Hugs,

What a terrible experience to have, Sylvia. I'm glad the police were able to subdue him and remove the weapons.
ReplyDeleteI know why I hate guns... I'd have been terrified.
ReplyDeleteBut that sky is solace, isn't it? :-)
I am glad to know that no one was hurt...I pray no such incident happens there again...on a lighter note, the sky you captured makes me think there is someone watching over us all the time, keeping us safe from harm....
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the incident there, glad that everything is fine.

Sorry about all the commotion going on near your residence.

ReplyDeleteI love clouds like these. So beautiful, Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteYour new kind of "Play it again, Sam!" header is terrific! :-)
that 2nd quote sums it up perfectly. i am so sorry about the craziness of humanity...
ReplyDeleteWell said ... I am sorry you have to witness those frightful incidents. They seem to be part of the fabric of our country these days. I don't know where we went wrong. I guess Mother Teresa knows ...

Lovely photos, Sylvia. At least they caught those people before they hurt anybody!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Glad everybody is OK. Too scary, too big-cityish. Yikes, that's not supposed to happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary situation to have just across the street. But not even something that bad can mar the beauty of the skies you've shown. The color in that first picture is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteSweet Sylvia! I am so glad that it is over... I cannot imagine how terrifying that was! Thinking of you and exhaling softly...
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Scary stuff indeed! I am glad nobody was hurt and that the man was arrested, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, as always... The colours of those skies are amazing.
Nice colors =)
