Joke of the day

David Simpson of the AJC must owe Bolton a favor or two. Simpson, in his article, try’s to paint a picture that crime is on the decrease under Bolton. Well Mr. Simpson, you must have slept through propaganda class.

Although crime may be down for the month of November 2008, 2007 stats compared to 2008 is no where near acceptable

Compared to 2007:

• Homicides up 5 percent
• Pedestrian Robberies up 12 percent
• Home Invasion Robberies up 16 percent
• Residential Burglaries up an astonishing 24 percent!

In your article, you conveniently omitted the 5% increase in homicides and the 16% increase in home invasion robberies.

And some wonder why newspaper sales are down.
