    Default Local News forum thread subjects

    As I scanned down this forum for something to look into, I noticed that of the 20 threads, only 4 were not about crimes, and most are violent crimes. Check it out (2:40 pm, 2/14/13): stabbing at rally, stabbing downtown, trespass, robbery, child porn, robbery, rape, robbery, shooting, robbery, murder, school attack, murder, slaying, disbarred lawyer, stealing...

    I guess most of these are started by a handful of individuals who seem to focus on this, but still... it's not a pretty picture.

    Default Hey moderators ...

    Can we have a new section on the board just for race baiting crime stories? That way Jeebus and RalR can post until their race bait lust is satisfied and we could discuss other issues? Just a suggestion.

    One poster stated: "Crime is crime. This one just happens to be....."

    Justice Brandies once said:

    "Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman."
    I agree with him, why hide from truthful stories if they can serve as a warning to others?

    Surely crime is a "social disease" right?

    ...and the rest bury their heads in the sand. Point? Time to face reality - crime in the city and the adjoining counties is what it is, all the time. The demographics go hand in hand.

    When are you leaving the city and adjoining counties?

    And just think, not all the crime gets reported, let alone posted on here.

    Good idea. Every one of Calamari's radical LWNJ threads accusing some Repub of this or that, combined with gonzolibs delusional mind-altered rants, all in the same place.

    Wonder if that will happen....
