Picnic tables can be "historical?" Really?

What's so historic about a heavily vandalized picnic table? Was some one famous conceived on it?

Authorities are grasping at straws for a motive.

there's no way that table could have come down simply by being hit by a car. i think explosives were planted inside.

I kept reading 'Hispanic' picnic table and was obviously confused.

Berry accelerated, Mullins said, in an apparent effort to evade arrest, but when he tried to make a turn, he ended up hitting the Malt Shop.

Wonder what ethnicity Berry is?

Cadillac Fleetwood?

So did he have a zoot suit and platform shoes on?

I hear they barley missed a family. Good thing it didn't happen on a Sundae!

Yea. Normal car fuel can't burn that hot. This had to be an inside job. Besides, the video footage is grainy. I'm not sure it was even a car. It could have been a cruise missile.

It's a good thing the Occupy Malt Shop folks were gone.

I'm getting my chicken wire, cinder blocks and newspaper right now.

I read it as His Panic Picnic.
When I saw the Fleetwood though, my original thought was driving while old.

At least he didn't burn it down because it reminded him of you.

Anyone else notice that the reason for this guy swerving into the cops lane and then running like heck was never given? Drunk, stoned or just stupid?

I've seen high quality stills of the aftermath. It's obvious, from some of the clean breaks, that det cord was used.

Lydia Hill, 21, has worked at the Malt Shop since 2007, she said.

Friday was supposed to be her last day.

Subby here; this is a good example of what happens to Natchez after the Fall Pilgrimage/Great Mississippi River Balloon Race is over. The whole area reverts to Slow News Mode until spring, at least. Destroyed picnic tables make headlines. Honestly never thought this would get greenlit.
