Karaoke with Cole Smith (and a Touch of Rape?)

Monday night was "Karaoke with Cole Smith" night at the 72 Roadhouse in Rogersville. We have no idea who Cole Smith is, but we can positively say what happened there did nothing to enhance his career. Now the roadhouse is shut down; will it reopen?

Rape at 72 Roadhouse?

That may depend on what did happen there. Was it only attempted rape or did the manager succeed in his alleged attack? Is alleged the operative word; forensics will soon prove if this unfortunate young employee was actually drugged and raped, simply drugged, or neither? 

In the interim, the owner(s) will have lost revenue and may never be able to regain the lost patrons. At best...the very best...there were some unfortunate hiring decisions made here.

If you're 17 and wish to enter the military, you need to be able to run two miles in 17 minutes. If you're older and wish to be Sheffield's next police chief, you need to be able to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. How many excellent law enforcement personnel does that preclude? Anyone think the fix was in?

No matter, most in the Sheffield City Council saw through that and didn't want Ricky Terry (yes, he's not a favorite in several communities, and we're not talking criminal). Let's hope a second round of picks will work out better.
