Some major crime going on in West Deptford. I think we need to hire an additional five police officers to keep up with all this crime. Our officers are in grave danger from these rock throwers running rampid in town.

Just so I hear you correctly, Kathleen—you're upset that there weren't more serious crimes reported in the past two weeks?

It's always amazes me to see people being sarcastic about what they think is nothing. However it always becomes something when those crimes happen to those people. Crime is still crime & it's wrong when it is committed. Does it matter what kind of crime it is & what took place? In some cases items were stolen from people's vehicles, homes & property was even damaged.
How is that nothing?

I guess Kathleen is happy now with the bank robbery. Maybe some criminals can assist her with some loss of some kind.
