As is usually the case, a lot of people are sending comments in blaming me for someone stealing an oven that was for sale in front of my Pearl Street property. They say I should have used Craig's List...that I should know crime happens and that I deserved to have the oven stolen.
I got a call today from a man who said while he was looking at the oven on Friday, he saw a suspicious black man looking at it to. Isn't that a great commentary on us.
Sort of a 'Too Kill a Mockingbird" view that to divert attention from who really did it you only have to suggest a person of color did it. I really got the call. The only thing he left out was the hoody.
Anyway we have a couple of leads on the caper.

I blame the victim.
You shouldn't assume it was stolen either,maybe the sign blew away or a neighborhood kid took it,and the person(s) took the oven thinking it was discarded.Too quick to judge,gotta admit I was thinking Ovengate also though..
Jeff, you gotta work on that to, too, and two thing.
The comments saddened me too, Jeff. When did friendly Watertown become such a nest of bigotry and vitriol? Does blaming outsiders, the prison, and Ft Drum make us feel better? Like we don't have plenty of home grown trash here. Ha.
Probably an inside job.
Need any help "frisking" the barmaids?
Remember the women who had the mower stolen? She had just been awarded 10million from a whistle blower story and then she has the folks arrested over a 100.00 mower she left NEXT to the road. I saw a guy with a hoodie and a pit bull stories will flourish now.....
Ole Mizz would be proud
Watertown and Jefferson County is mostly conservative,white and ignorant not surprised.
what if it was a black person? How can you just assume it wasn't? How do know Trayvon wasn't at fault? For someone who usually has a good head on their shoulders I must say your comments are rather disturbing Jeff.
Every great country was built by Conservative white ignorants.
