A politician reducing crime must be good news, right?
Ormes Head was once a mostly typical New England borough with a disproportionately high rate of unsolved murders. In 2008, successful small businessman Edward Rutherford was elected City Councilman on the promise of reducing crime. Last year, in an area where 230,000 people live and work, there were nine murders in total. So far this year, there have been none. Not one. Crime rates in general have fallen almost as much. People aren’t questioning this too much and an increased atmosphere of social conformity is a small price to pay for the ability to walk the streets safely at night. Isn’t it?
None of this is really anything much to do with a bunch of ordinary high school seniors. If only that’s what you were.
