This is an incredibly long list of infractions for one week and is really sad. Especially with the shoplifting, it seems like people are emboldened and feel like there are no consequences. It’s really a shame.
70+ entries. Swift justice is in everyone’s interest. The accused get cleared sooner, or convicted. That also sets examples for others with consequences. In history justice wasn’t swift because the state just held everyone in a jail. Today our elected Commonwealth Attorney makes choices not to prosecute certain crimes, & accused often want to drag out trials while living in the community. What a twisted world our county has become.
I think we should be happy with our diversity!
What does that have to do with these comments or this article? Diversity may be the most overused word on this website and this comment is inane. These are simply crimes – no word on by whom, simply crimes. My apologies if this comment is supposed to be sarcastic, but then that would make you racist, the second most overused word by commentators on this website.
