Danger calls in sick
Local news:
A murder suspect refused to appear in court Thursday afternoon for his first appearance hearing. Joshua Tillery (nicknamed "Danger") claimed to be ill on Thursday so a judge rescheduled his court hearing for Friday. ... Authorities arrested Tillery on Wednesday along North Ruby. The 33-year-old faces charges for the murder of Devon Mack. ... Detectives believe Tillery shot Mack in the head.Earlier stories about "Danger" led me to ponder the value of such a nickname. I was thinking: When you're named Danger, your full-time defense attorney doesn't have to work very hard. He can't very well argue that you're a Victim Of Our Unfair Society, or a Delicate Fragile Exceptional Individual Of Distinct Emotional Enablement. Obviously I underestimated this dude's arrogance! I think there's a Chuck Norris joke around here, but I'm not enough of a humorist to write it. "When Danger calls in sick, sick calls in healthy." No, that doesn't work. ¶ 8:38 AM
