Here's One Journalist Who "Gets It"
It's pretty nice to stumble across this kind of honest reporting for a change. A few more stories like this one, and one might think some folks out there are starting to catch on.
I guess they forgot to put up their "No Murder Allowed" sign.
I'm impressed that the writer of this piece, Kevin O'Neal, actually made the effort to emphasize the last sentence there by making it the stand-alone closing paragraph. Well done, Kevin.
You can reach Mr. O'Neal by e-mail at kevin.oneal@indystar.com. Feel free to drop him a line and let him know you appreciate his willingness to highlight the feel-good, do-nothing policies of establishments, such as Butler's Pizza, that post these "No Weapons" signs, expecting them to serve as some kind of violent criminal repellent.
