So like a botched home invasion then.

Nice!

This man may have been dead if not for his gun.

Long-delayed multi-use path along Route 161 on Columbus' Northwest Side being reconsideredThe Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission is recommending federal funding to help pay for multi-use paths along Route 161 on Northwest Side. The fact we can't decide to build such a no-brainer path for a DECADE is a joke. The road is always packed and connects two shopping/dining/population centers. Just DO IT. There is literally no good east/west connector. Sure, there’s the camp chase trail, which leads you directly away from the city so it’s 0% useful for most people for commuting purposes.
