Two men were killed outside Venture-N in Tucson early Monday morning. Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, forty-two. Cameron Davis Capara, thirty-three. A neighborhood bar near the university, the kind where everyone knows everyone.

Is fheàrr caraid sa chùirt na crùn san sporan — a friend in the court is better than a crown in the purse. Say it while there's somebody in the room to catch it.
