In the article "Slain Airman's Dog Tags Taken from Widow's Car" by the Denver post, it tells you how Bradley R. Smith, 24, was killed trying to recover the body of another soldier. Smith's wife attended a memorial at Fort Carson for her husband and four other soldiers. After the memorial her and her mother in law stopped for lunch. While they were eating someone broke into their car and stole Smith's dog tags and many electronics. This matters because he was a soldier and now his widow doesnt even have his dog tags. Soldiers who fight for our country shouldnt be stolen from nor should the loved ones of the lost soldier. Smith's widow has now lost even more.

A 53 year old woman was arrested for hitting her boyfriend in the face with a raw steak. They were arguing over bread. He wanted a bread roll but she gave him a slice. Every time he refused the slice she would slap him. When it was all over she was arrested for the abuse of a disabled adult. Why she would him him in the face I don't know but that is crazy.
