Keeping Things In Perspective
From my previous post:
Now, using the same BPDNews.com website as a source, we find that during that same time period, there were also 214 street robberies and 306 residential break-ins reported in the City of Boston.
Apparently, those incidents aren't "related" enough to warrant the issuance of an "advisory" or "notification" of any kind.
Or, as our mayor has so eloquently stated in the past:
So, you needn't be alarmed, folks. None of those robberies took place on the street in front of the Mayor's house. And, to the best of my knowledge, his house was not, in fact, one the 300 or so broken into over the last month and a half.
You can rest easy now.
Now, if the we could just get the city to pay for a 24-hour, private security detail to protect the rest of us as we go about our business in the city, we could put this "issue" to bed, once and for all.
On a related note, don't forget...only 38 more shopping days 'til Christmas.
Sorry for the lack of working links in the PDF document there. I assume most of you are intelligent enough to successfully use the BPDNews.com archives to find the information therein, if you're so inclined.

It's a safe city, but I think we have an issue today that must be addressed.
