On our way to Tom Z's for dinner - great coneys! - we drove by Ballenger Park about 4:45 & saw some event going on there - a pretty good crowd. Just heard on the scanner there were 2 people shot there. Taken to Hurley by private car, which then sped away. The park is emptying fast. |

Interesting that there's no coverage yet on channels 5 or 12, or the Journal.
Also, big fight - twice - at Dayton & Chevrolet. 40 people, guns seen, but no shots. |

The bad guys are such bad shots that the innocent get shot too. |

That's the problem. They're such bad shots the innocent get hit way more than the intended target. I know of a bad guy that tried out his new pistol by shooting in the back yard. He hit the yard, so he thinks he's good to go. True story. |

If people really want to know what's happening in Flint, get a scanner.

There are also scanner apps for iPhone and Droid. I have one called PoliceStream installed on mine. Works pretty well, too. |

What's the per minute charge for listening to scanner calls on a cell phone? |

I have an unlimited data plan through T-Mobile, so I wouldn't know. I don't think pre-paid phones offer anything like that. I don't think they're even
capable
of doing that sort of thing.
All I know is with my phone, I just set it to stream the Flint frequencies, and it does until I turn off the app. |
