To top it off, the three "youths" got out of the car and proceeded to beat the crap out of him, then drove off. Bad enough that he had to have his jaw wired.

It was also pretty common to have "youths" throwing rocks at the TK windows at night. When I was a kid, my dad showed me some bullet holes that had been left there one night. Who knows, maybe there were left over from the strike.

I grew up on a farm Northeast of DEN about 40 miles, and everytime we drove through that area, it gave me the heebyjeebies. Living isolated and quiet isn't a bad way to go.
