Police probe robbery and thefts

Police are investigating an early morning robbery at a city nursing home, and thefts from of a South Side church.

Police were sent to Dandridge Nursing Home, on Maranatha Drive on the East Side, early Monday after a health care worker there said she had been robbed of her purse, and a kit used in the collection of blood samples.

The 53-year-old North Side woman told officers she was leaving the facility at about 2:45 a.m. when approached in the parking lot by a seemingly clean cut black man. The man pulled a dark-colored handgun and ordered the woman to hand over any valuables.

The woman told police she handed the man the medical kit and showed him her purse that had been sitting inside her car. The thief took the purse and medical supply kit.

Police found the opened kit sitting a short distance from the nursing home. The woman’s purse, missing a wallet that had been inside, was also found near the nursing home.

Employees told officers the robbery appears to have been committed by someone familiar with the narcotics delivery schedule at the nursing home.

Police are also investigating a Sunday breaking and entering at the Hillman Street Church of Christ on West Avondale. Church members told police they arrived at the church Sunday morning to find the back door to the facility kicked in.

Police searched the inside of the church and discovered a water meter, copper piping, three floor fans and light fixtures missing. A more detailed inventory of the church property is expected to be taken.

The need is great and the resources to replenish the medication for the subculture have been depleted . Foraging for dollars is now escalating as desperation sets in . Without their medication the subculture can't function . Mainstream society does not seem to care . We should be more compassionate to their needs and not be critical of their lifestyle . This way of life has gained widespread acceptance and is quickly overtaking the mainstream . We in the mainstream must be more productive to supply their needs . Under the influence of medication the subculture is disabled and cannot supply their needs . We have a responsibility to take care of their needs . Trying to enslave them to our way of life is not what compassion is all about .

Foraging honey bees on cocaine are more likely to dance, regardless of the quality of the food they've found or the status of the hive, the authors of the study report.

Just more low life cockroaches that need to be exterminated. Nursing homes, churches and it goes on and on. Useless waste of human flesh. Do freakin something productive with your sorry life. Unreal.

Damned shame and those aren't kids,..

To prey upon a church and plot on ANYTHING from a nursing home is the mark of pure evil.

If it were a meal the church thief needed they know they could have asked the members of the church for such and extremely likely received it.

To include that theft / robbery at the nursing home seems to have been too well orchestrated for it to be a happenstance.

It appears they knew all the ins and outs of who, when, where and approximate time to get likely exactly what they'd came for.

To steal from a church is the act of the absolute godless and having done that whoever the reasonably aged despot is. He pose's such a threat via his deranged and deplorable desperation, there's nothing he wouldn't do to anybody.

In way of respect there were times as a kid I'd cut a churches lawn for free. Clearly the assailant is of a far different presence. He needs to know that beyond the wrath of man he'll be duly chastised for his act of disbelief.
