AGAIN: Dayton Daily News employee robbed

The irony would be humorous if it wasn't so deadly serious. This man's employer, the Dayton Daily News, has worked for years to prevent the restoration of his Constitutional right to defend himself, and they continue to rail against it on editorial pages today.

Shame on employers like the DDN & Pizza Hut who would send their defenseless employees to places their corporate lawyers would never go, concerned more for an incorrectly perceived liability issue than with the lives of those who work for them.

Man, woman held in robbery case

A man and a woman were held Wednesday night for questioning, hours after police and Montgomery County sheriff's deputies located what they think was a van stolen from a Dayton Daily News newspaper carrier, WHIOTV.com reported.

The carrier told police he was robbed in the morning while filling newspaper boxes in the parking lot of the Tasty Bird store in the 900 block of West Third Street.

Police said the carrier pulled into the lot and noticed a woman sitting in a car. The carrier said a man approached moments later and asked for his money and took off with the van on Third Street. The woman in the car followed the van, police said.

The carrier gave officers a description of the man and woman. Law officers said they found the van at a motel on U.S. 35
