Danish petition to buy California gets over 200,000 signatures

President Donald Trump’s attempt to purchase the vast Danish territory of Greenland is unpopular with locals, to say the least. Instead, a petition named “Denmarkification” urges the Danish government to purchase California.  The petition’s website lists a number of reasons why Danes should support the initiative. It would provide the Northern European country with abundant sunlight and avocados, for instance, as well as access to Disneyland – which would be renamed “Hans Christian Andersenland”. Denmarkification was created by Xåvier Dutoit, an activist identified by the campaign as its “Chief Pastry Officer.” He says that he aimed to show Americans how

A statement from Burbank Police Department claims an increased number of “bank jugging” incidents have been reported in recent weeks.  According to the statement, “bank jugging” refers to a method of robbery in which perpetrators sit in bank parking lots and wait for patrons to emerge with cash.  “These criminals watch customers as they leave the bank and typically target those carrying bank envelopes, money bags, and/or coin boxes.
