DEFACING A MIRACLE

(pic courtesy of www.jonesborosun.com)

To say this story makes me angry is an understatement. I’m furious! My blood is boiling after learning earlier this week vandals did thousands of dollars worth of damage to the new Miracle League Field in Jonesboro. Too many people worked tirelessly for several years and donated materials, labor and money to help this miracle happen for special needs children and young adults in Jonesboro and NEA. To know that some low-life vandals wanted to ruin it before the Miracle League even had their first official baseball game is heart breaking. Most of the damage was to the women’s restroom. Authorities are investigating the incident. The good news is usually idiots who do these kinds of things are stupid enough to start bragging about it at some point. So THEY WILL BE CAUGHT AND PROSECUTED. When and if you hear any information about this horrible crime, please call the Jonesboro Police Department.
