Traffic report at Garland County courthouse

I have to admit this has become my favorite part of the Garland County quorum court meeting, the courthouse foot traffic report. To me this is almost as funny as the Village police reports were when I wrote them. What were these people thinking?
In July, 2,099 people passed through the east door and 3,940 passed through the west door to enter the Garland County courthouse.
Of those entering the building 116 came in the east door with knives and an equal number entered the west door with knives.
Two tried to enter the east door with scissors and five tried to enter the west door with scissors. Four tried to enter the east door with pepper spray and 14 tried to enter the west door with pepper spray.
11 tried to enter the east door with multi tools and 15 tried to enter the west door with multi tools.
My most favorite are the ones that show the true diversity of Garland County's citizenry. 11 tried to enter the east door and 42 tried to enter the west door with uncategorized objects including two pairs of brass knuckles, 12 assorted bullets and shotgun shells, one boat air horn, pruning shears, three corks, three handcuff keys and four hand held personal stun weapons. What were they thinking?
