Q: Since sideshows are in the news these days, how about a column on them. Ask readers for ideas on what should be done to stop them.

My thought is that the police should arrive en masse, surround the area, close all escape routes, and arrest everyone inside. Any cars that involved should be seized and subsequently confiscated and destroyed.
