The fast food nation5/31/2023 But this day and time, our jail’s at capacity, our local prison’s at capacity. “A killing is pretty rare in our neck of the woods,” Cannon said. The killings in Moultrie, in rural Colquitt County about 60 miles northeast of Tallahassee, Florida, came a day after a gunman in Atlanta killed one person and wounded four others at a medical office.Ĭhas Cannon, Colquitt County’s government administrator, said he was driving his daughter to school on Thursday morning when he passed the McDonald’s blocked off by police tape and patrol cars. “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved restaurant manager, and our hearts go out to all the victims of this senseless act of violence,” Suarez said in a statement provided by McDonald’s corporate office in Chicago. George Suarez, owner and operator of the McDonald’s in Moultrie, said the restaurant will remain closed until further notice. Holweger said it appeared that the man killed the woman when she unlocked the door to let him in for an early-morning shift. Holweger said the woman who died at the restaurant was the early morning manager, and that the shooter had been an employee there. Sas rogue heroes book review5/31/2023 Stirling is a solid anti-hero as we watch him join forces with Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) and Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) to come up with a unique way to fight the encroaching German forces. Swindells plays Stirling as a lout, a brigand, and an all-around defier of those whom he does not respect. It becomes instantly apparent that this series would not be your traditional World War II drama as we meet David Stirling (Connor Swindells), a hard-drinking officer who wants nothing more than to get the hell out of Cairo. Set in Egypt in 1941 as the Nazi forces expanded throughout Europe, Rogue Heroes opens with cheeky on-screen cards that do not mince words about how close the Allied Forces came to being, well, “fucked”. It is a profane, violent, and engrossing look at a slice of WWII history told in a unique style. Based on a mix of historical figures and fictional creations, Rogue Heroes is a darkly funny story that blends Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds with the classic novel Catch-22. Now, Knight is back with his latest series which plans to do for World War II what Peaky Blinders did for early 20th-century street gangs. His most popular project is the recently concluded historical crime series Peaky Blinders. Somehow, Knight has made everything from chess ( Pawn Sacrifice) to blindness (AppleTV+ series See) into thrilling storytelling. Review: Steven Knight has long been involved in scripting some of the more intriguing films and television series of the last few decades.
