Cars more important than people ?


              If I had been involved in a minor car accident on Reservoir

    Ave. in Cranston on Tuesday, Jan.29 , around noontime -even just a fender

    bender - you can be sure that the police would have been on the scene in a

    minute. But I was just a pedestrian - second class citizen ? - who was chased

    into the middle of Reservoir - near Speck Ave. - by a vicious, loose, and out

    of control rottweiler. I tripped and broke my right shoulder. Why

    did the police not show up for an injured man lying in the street ?

              If they had responded to the 911 or followed it up - there should

    be some co-ordination between Rescue and Police - they might have intercepted

    the young lady with the rottweiler. Is it legal to witness your dog cause

    a serious injury and fail to report it ?

              I hope Cranston City Council President DeLorenzo succeeds in getting

    his vicious dog law passed. That rottweiler will cost me at least $18,000 in

    medical bills. DeLorenzo wants vicious dog owners to have at least $25,000 in

    liability insurance.

               If you like to walk in Cranston, be VERY careful ! One more

    sign of creeping BLIGHT !
