A World Without Guns (cont.)
Fire up the crystal ball, folks. It's time for yet another look into the future present, to a time and place where decent law-abiding citizens have been stripped of their right to defend themselves from violent predators.

POP QUIZ: What can our mayor, our legislature, and police commissioner do to best address this problem and prevent future attacks of this nature from occurring?
(A) Looking at "where" these crimes are taking place, the answer is clear. Ban parking garages!
(B) Looking at "who" the victims are - women out walking by themselves - we can pass legislation to make them less attractive targets by requiring women to have a male escort when leaving their homes or workplaces.
(C) Looking at "how" these crimes are being perpetrated, it's even more obvious what needs to be done. City and state officials must band together with their cohorts in the national media and launch a relentless PR campaign critical of the lax kitchen utensil laws in New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont.
(D) Lastly, we can address the "why" behind these crimes and work to eliminate the demand that fuels them. All we have to do is create a taxpayer-funded cash distribution center for the local crackheads and meth fiends.
I call upon our leaders to act now, and implement any, or all, of these "common-sense" public safety initiatives -FOR THE CHILDREN!TM. If enacting one of these proposals could save JUST ONE LIFETM, imagine what a Utopian paradise of peace and love we'd be living in if we could manage to get all four of these passed.
What are we waiting for?
From BPDNews.com:
Within the past week, two women have been robbed and assaulted while walking in two different stairwells at the Boston Common Parking Garage. In both incidents, while waiting in the stairwell, the suspect grabbed the victims and pushed them against a wall. The suspect told the victim in the first incident that he is a junkie and needs money for a fix. The suspect appears to be getting more aggressive, utilizing a kitchen knife as a weapon in the latest incident.
